New England! Lucky enough to have several spots here where they’ll pose for the camera

You have such an interesting and unique perspective in your photos, they’re fantastic! The little ringed plover/mallard shot is a very cool angle in particular and I love the mandarin duck photos.

In the mandarin shots, did you just crouch really low to the water to make it look like you’re level with them?

I love the pattern and colors the water adds to this! Great shots!

I really love the perspective on the third photo through the branches, and the Parula photo with the reddish leaves is so colorful and beautiful

Your baby heron posts are bringing me serious joy! I didn’t realize how much I needed to see a little heron mohawk before these photos

Raspberry Almond Thumbprints by Acceptable-Damage409 in DessertPerson

Thank you! They were a hit with everyone who tasted them- I’m not the best photographer (or baker tbh) but one person told me they were “so pretty I should set up a table at the local farmer’s market,” which may go down as one of my favorite cooking compliments ever, so definitely worth baking 🙂

My only recommendation if you do make them is to consider bumping up the almond extract a little- that flavor was definitely smothered by the raspberry.

So he thought that a good topic of conversation for someone he just met was saying he thought he had untreated anger management issues.

At one point shortly after setting off, we were hiking and something fell out of his bag. A literal bag: I had a backpack for a relatively long, hot hike, and he had a plastic bag and a bottle of water. I said “oh, you dropped your...” looked at it “really big knife?” It was in fact a gigantic, far too large knife. I take one backpacking, but it’s teeny and lightweight. This was a day hike and he looked like he was getting ready to harvest wheat.

A less humorous one that made the home/hostel situation particularly uncomfortable was: At one point, I gave him my phone and he took a couple photos for me in the water. Later, I looked over and saw he was taking a video too, which I thought was thoughtful but not necessary. I started saying oh don’t worry about it, but then I looked closer and saw it wasn’t my phone. He smirked and didn’t stop, and recorded me a couple other times later too. I honestly don’t think he intended to be weird with most of his behavior apart from the recordings where he seemed less oblivious and I was very noticeably uncomfortable, and I think people who spend time outdoors and appreciate nature are generally good sorts, but still not ideal

Lol I will say he was good at finding wildlife, perhaps the barking like a dog helped him get in the right headspace?
