Day 12 of was an outstanding tipple from Bushmills, and 's day 12 story of, I suppose, a failed break with the past, comes from Hilma Wolitzer.

The whiskey is Bushmills "Causeway Collection" 2000 Port Cask Finish. This is the best thing I've ever tasted with from Bushmills (and at over £275 a bottle, it had better be pretty great.)

@bitprophet This is the Drinks by the Dram "Premium Edition" calendar:

https://drinksbythedram.com/products/the-premium-whisky-advent-calendar

(The short story calendar is the one from Hingston & Olsen publishing. I don't think that's what you were asking about, but, for completeness' sake…)

djwtwo,
@djwtwo@mastodon.social avatar

@bitprophet I think this is the third time I've gotten this particular calendar. There's a higher repeat count this year, but still mostly new. I stick with the whisky calendars, but I've tried a few different ones both from this company and Secret Spirits.

Grey seal in profile.

This guy (gal?) was just parked off Gooseberry in the sun, head above water, looking around for the entire time I had him in view as I hiked, a solid 15 minutes.

From the Sunday hike. Felt appropriate for the approaching spooky season.

I recently saw Redditors telling others that it's weird and controlling to share location w your partner. My husband and I have done it for the past 7 years and here are the main reasons why:

  1. how long til I get to smooch you
  2. that's pretty much it

@rebeccawatson I keep offering to share my location with my spouse, but apparently she'd rather call to check on my ETA for some reason. She has a knack for calling in the window between turning onto our street and pressing the garage door opener.

"When will you be home?"
"Look out the front window."

Of all the days for me to not be carrying the good camera, this greets me on the way back from my hike. Did what I could with the phone, but the light was already pretty far gone.

A tiny fraction of the tree swallows that were out and about at Mass Audubon's Allens Pond yesterday afternoon.

Another black & white experiment from yesterday's foggy day; slightly different take on the same fence at DNRT's Ocean View Farm.

Cooper's Hawk at Mass Audubon Allens Pond, right near the parking area. Spooked right as I started to move the camera. I moved behind the small amount of cover that was there, and saw the bird move in a bit closer, but it still wouldn't return to the kill while I was there. Got a shot by using my car as a blind.

Spent the weekend in Vermont for a family birthday, and knew the skies should be dark enough for some night sky photography, but the weather didn't look like it was going to be cooperative. Ended up with a very narrow window last night to get a few shots in, so despite not having packed the tracker, got a few that were usable enough.

Here's one, from outside the vacation rental in Shaftsbury looking south towards Bennington.

A pair of Great Egrets fishing near the Little River bridge in Dartmouth, MA yesterday evening. There were a ton of egrets in this area—I counted 45 of them, mostly Great Egrets although there were three of four Snowy Egrets mixed in, and a few Great Blue Herons looking for a meal as well.

Pretty quiet at Allen's Pond this afternoon. Only real excitement was a bold and apparently pissed-off Red-Winged Blackbird that kept diving at the Ospreys nesting in the marsh, which mostly shook it off like a teenager getting annoyed at a kid brother. (This is "mobbing", even though only a single small bird was involved, and is apparently especially common during breeding season.)

As I suspected, the volume of fish was down significantly this week at the Agawam herring run, and while there were a few Osprey fly-overs, no one came in to fish.

Which gave this hungry Great Blue Heron an opening. He wolfed down three good-sized herring in about a 5 minute period before flying off.
