Nothing to see here, just your average tree branch… or is it?🪵
Take a closer look and you might notice the Common Potoo (Nyctibius griseus)! This master of disguise lives in parts of Central and South America and roosts on high perches, motionless. It has large bright yellow eyes that you’d think would draw a predator’s attention, but the bird has a workaround: it can close its peepers while staying aware of its surroundings, thanks to slits in its eyelids! At dusk, the nocturnal critter begins to feast on large insects like moths.

A Ray Harryhausen menagerie. (Special note: fans will recognize most of these creatures, but the top left one is a martian from a test for a War of the Worlds adaptation that Ray was never able to make.)
One log down, 5 (hopefully) to go. He’s a little concerned the largest log is too big, so the current plan is to trim off the sides so it hopefully fits
All done! We (well, the sawmill operator) decided not to mill the big log. Mostly because it would have taken at least another two hours.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
