. . . in public.





What's "unusual" about it is that for a guy who is usually out in this neck of the woods, I've never seen a mule deer do the usual thing. I usually see the after effects;





I usually smell them, so that's not unusual.

I assume you know the rules; "Not necessary to state that it's an 'exhibit.'"

Live scorpions in a Beijing market. If you want to try it they'll fry them before they are served.

My son-in-law's "Bestie," is nicknamed "Smiley." I heard that word the other day and I'm eclectic. "besty(?)"

I hear tell that it's raining cats and dogs in Jemez. The Chama is FLOODED above the lake. The lake is very near its highest level that it's ever been. I went up there yessidy and have pics. Will post as I go.
Please do. I'll pass them along to Anne. She has heard that the house she built there by the river is still above the flood waters.

I stop for photo ops.
 
This is the Rio Chama, above Lake Abiquiu. Ten miles upriver is the Monastery of Christ in the Desert, then the dirt road ends. Turn back. I didn't get a chance to go higher up. It's a day long trip and you'll need plenty secure disks. There are several campsites maintained by the USFS. Plenty fun to be had, if you like kayaking.

I predict that Lake Abiquiu will accrue its highest level, ever! And, the Chama River, below the lake is full; to capacity, and then some, below my house.

It's unusual for the snow to have melted before its usual flow. The Rio Grande is also flowing bigTime.

I take several rows of overlapping photos. I think this one took about 70 photos.

I start by pointing camera t the ground by my feet and taking a photo with 33% overlap. Raise the camera to shoot the next row with 30% overlap of the bottom row and keep going until you are shooting sky.

Then I stitch these into a 360degree panorama.

In photoshop, I invert the image and make it square.

Then apply a radial distortion to it.

Google Little Planet for a better explanation and tutorial.

Aloha,

Val
