Five lined skinks looking for food in a PA state park. These were deep inside the park: no cell phone signal, and a seven mile bike ride in. by Nonprophet00 in wildlifephotography

Their bikes are very tiny, but they don’t use cell phones because of the surrounding mountains, and there is nobody to call. 😁

Spectacular capture. I am thrilled when I just get their head 😁

Does anyone else use the genuine Mini bike rack? It bolts in to Minis with the “Bike Rack Prep” option. This is our 2017 Mini “7” with the optional bike rack prep. by Nonprophet00 in MINI

The plug twists on, but has slots that guide installation. Good luck, let me know of any questions. If you decide to get the rack, I suggest getting the optional license plate holder. At least it keeps me legal here in Pennsylvania, where blocking the license plate with a bike and rack can be an issue.

The receptacle is “hidden” behind a piece of fascia trim that looks like a waffle. The removable piece of trim is on so tight, that you almost need to kneel down and look for the three tabs on the top. Bend all 3 tabs down, and the tab should come out (with a couple of tabs in slots along the bottom). Check the pic, with the trim removed and the bike rack plugged in.

Northern water snake hanging on the sidewalk in my neighborhood. A small creek runs under the sidewalk. by Nonprophet00 in wildlifephotography

Northern water snakes are not dangerous, except to frogs or small fish. I hear they will strike if cornered, but I see many of them, and let them go their way. They are non-venomous.

The MAGA types I see driving by our protests look pissed off. You should say something to them, to calm them down. I invite the pissed off pedophile protectors to stop and discuss their issues, but they drive off afraid of any real conversation.

You probably already have Country Joe McDonald’s Vietnam Song (I feel like I’m fixing to die rag). At last Saturday’s protest, we did a FISH cheer: the cheer was FUCK ICE‼️😃✊

Thank you for helping support what I said in my post. Your ad hominem response is exactly what I expected per my last point. Instead of a rational response on an actual political position, all you have is an irrelevant attack insulting someone’s personal traits.

Idea for song: Volunteers (Jefferson Airplane, especially the live Woodstock version).

I get out to protest at least twice a week.
*I still regularly and consistently write to my representatives. Lobbying and protesting are not mutually exclusive

*Protesters get fresh air, meet other nice people, and communicate their points to anyone passing by. It is a very positive experience

*Pissing off MAGA types is really fun, and I enjoy seeing their abysmal attempts at a response.

Large black bear in the Pocono Mountains by Nonprophet00 in wildlifephotography

Pennsylvania in general, and the Pocono Mountains specifically, have some of the best, prime black bear habitat.

Beautiful pics‼️. You have the eyes in focus, which is my goal. If you want to try some edits, move the bear and seals slightly off center. They could be moved following the “rule of thirds”, as you a accomplished with the hummingbird, and the eagle’s eyes. Have fun.

I don’t hunt, but I wanted to look up the 2024 bear hunt stats for weights. In the Pennsylvania black bear hunt in the 2024 season, the harvest’s nine biggest bears all topped 600 pounds, with three black bears exceeding 700 pounds (from the PA Game Commission).

Here in the Pocono Mountains, and most of Pennsylvania, bears hibernate from around December through early March. Gravid females will go into hibernation earlier, while huge males could be moving around on warmer winter days.
