Makes Me Twitch. Great Blue Heron, Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, San Antonio NM, February 25, 2010
Makes me twitch
Makes me twitch, it does. Most of the pictures I took on this outing with Kate & Terry are lousy. Somehow I lost my focus and got the exposures all wrong. Bah! There is so so much to learn about this DSLR photography stuff. This Great Blue Heron posed with great patience and I messed up. Guess I won't be putting heron pictures from this outing up here after all.

The Trespasser's Eyeshine
She put the butt end of the flashlight against her forehead, just above the space between her eyebrows. It was something she'd learned long ago about seeing at night. A light shined from there would reveal nothing of herself to a trespasser, and from that spot on her forehead a beam would go straight to the retinas and return to her own eyes the characteristic color of the trespasser's eyeshine. If it had eyes, of course, and if they were looking at her directly.
