The Bird Photographer of the Year Contest is recognized as the premier competition of its type, and is sponsored by companies like Svarovski Optics, F-stop, Zenfolio, and Olympus.  Some of the finalists are displayed...

Good morning on Friday, April 9, 2021: National Chinese Almond Cookie Day. I’m home after my jaunt to Texas, and am starting my kale juice cleanse! (Only kidding—but I’m going vegetarian for at least a week.) Yes,...

Yes, today is my last half-day in Texas, as I’m flying home around noon from Austin. But I didn’t leave without one more visit to a BBQ joint. Yesterday I decided to go back to Black’s (homage to Amy Winehouse) in...

by Greg Mayer I think Jerry’s en route now, so here’s something to occupy us while there’s a brief hiatus in posting. The New York Times reports today that an abstract art work being displayed at a mall in Seoul...

I’ve spent two nights in La Grange, Texas, a small town (population about 4,600) near the Colorado River. I’d hoped to go to a well known (non-BBQ) restaurant in nearby Round Top, but it’s open only from...

The new Jesus and Mo strip, called “nope”, came with an acknowledgment to Professor Ceiling Cat (Emeritus)!: Thanks to Jerry at WEIT for the link to the NYT article which presented the opportunity to resurrect an...

Today we have a contribution from Tony Eales of Queensland. His notes are indented, and you can enlarge his photos by clicking on them. My wife and I did a road trip back up to tropical North Queensland to stay at Port...

Good morning on a humpish day: Wednesday, April 7, 2021. It’s National Beer Day, and this made me realize again that I haven’t had a drop of alcohol since I came to Texas. No Pearl, no Shiner—nada. This is because...

The Globe and Mail is, I believe, a conservative newspaper, and one would guess that it’s that genre of paper that’s prone to printing palpable palaver that props up religion. (Well, one would guess wrong, as now...

Did you spot Honey in this morning’s post? Here she is, circled. Some of her body is behind a tree, but you can see her patterns. The first reveal is mine, the second Jean Greenberg’s (she took the photo), showing...

by Greg Mayer For today’s post we return to the New York City Subway 8th Avenue local (B and C trains) station at 81st-Museum of Natural History,this time for the amphibians. 81st St.-Museum of Natural History...

Honey the duck is hiding in this picture. Can you find her? This shows how cryptic female mallards can be. I’d rate this as “medium.” Click on the photo (twice if you wish) to make it bigger. Answer up at noon...

Welcome to Easter Sunday, April 4, 2021. Christ has risen, but Goldberg’s prices remain the same (joke below). It’s odd that Easter should be National Cordon Bleu Day, honoring a thin piece of chicken stuffed with...

I’m now in Johnson City, Texas, named after an uncle of Lyndon Baines Johnson, who of course made the city famous. His “Western White House” was here, and here is where he retired, died, and is buried. It’s a...

Andrew Sullivan is a semi-pious Catholic who has been reluctant to specify exactly what tenets of Catholicism he embraces. It’s certain that he’s not a Biblical creationist, as he insisted when we famously crossed...

Greetings on Saturday, April 3, 2021: National Chocolate Mousse Day. Here’s a specimen from Nelson’s Candies in New Hampshire (only $7.95): Remember, tomorrow is Easter, so be sure to scarf those chocolate eggs....
