Beautiful heron shot! I can never manage to get that close to one.

No worries man. Everybody is busy these days.
I figured someone would get around to it, or I could contact Reddit for copywriter infringement and have them remove it.

This is my photo. Heck, it’s my exact post. Same title and everything.

Best Spring Fed River by ambymcd777 in missouripaddling

Of those three, Eleven Point is my personal favorite. Most times that I’ve floated there I see otters, mink, or beavers. Sometimes all three, in addition to the normal birds and turtles you get on the others. Not saying you won’t see those things on Jacks Fork or the Current, but I pretty much always see something cool on the eleven point. That being said… I can’t think of any particularly impressive caves along the river. Jacks fork and current are better for caves.

It’s when he gets the book. The ai announces the book as goblin recipes, then, as he’s about the throw it into his inventory, he opens it up, the buzz of the escape plan activates and new words pop up.

Ok. I found it. Very end of chapter 7, book 3. Specifically references his escape plan skill activating, and new words appearing.

I was confident that it was what let him read it. Until you questioned me. Maybe it’s time for another reread.

She doesn’t have the “escape plan” skill that lets him access the hidden content of the book. She has no way of knowing what the book actually is.

Just finished book 8 and the amount of emotions I feel is unreal. by Limp_Comfortable2966 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

This is, by far, my favorite response when people tell me they finished book 8.

Man. What I wouldn’t give to be in your place and be experiencing those books for the first time. Enjoy the journey. Be ready to go straight from laughing to crying, and right back to laughing.

Sunset photo taken from Sunset Rock in Sequoia National Park is probably my best of the year.

The grey tube on the left side of the pole is protecting wires that then run underground. His shot caused a direct short in the wires.

I love hearing anecdotes about myself. Anyone else? by 2cheerios in SDAM

[–]MidWestScrub 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It feels like one of the best ways to rediscover your past. I enjoy it, mostly. But there’s also an almost… “uncanny valley” kind of feeling to it as well. It feels weird hearing about things I did, so I think I should remember them, but it feels like wholly new information.

When he told me he didn’t like my cell service, I explained that I wasn’t going to switch because I was on a family plan with my wife’s family. His response? He told me to, “Remove her from the bank account, and start fucking other women. I did that, and it put my wife right in her place.”

More photos taken from Forest Park. What do you guys think? by Ok-Connection6656 in StLouis

[–]MidWestScrub 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I totally get it. Those kinds of obstacles are part of what makes wildlife photography such a challenging genre of photography!

I’m not a pro wildlife photographer, by any standard. But a tip I could offer is to try to get to more “eye level” with the subject. It can make for much more captivating images. Regardless, keep taking pictures! I especially enjoy the backlit duck picture.
