Biological

The best camera is the one you have with you. I have a DSLR, and it takes wonderful pictures, and I have a lot of fun with it, but I only carry it when I intend to take a lot of pictures. My point-and-shoot died a few months ago. I’ve sorely missed it for quick snaps of whatever happens to be interesting, and my blog photo posting has definitely taken a dive.

I finally replaced it, with a little HP camera that happened to be on sale, just in time for a few quick pictures this morning on my way to the second day of a series of all-day meetings.

They look to me as if they could have come from under a microscope, strange fungal hyphae.

    Marvelous photos!

    I’m back to carrying my camera all the time again–after a walk where I saw first the patron heron of the lake and then a huddle of baby nutrias. (How can such an invasive rodent be so cute!)

Welcome!

I’ve been doing stuff with string for quite some time, and describing it to others online since 1996 or so at Phiala’s String Page.

I also do some science and write some fiction.

I’m Phiala most places on the internet.
