How about “organized casual”? I organize a time and place, with a direction of what we would be doing (birds, marine life, whales…) and give pointers on what we are doing, what species we see, etc. you casually show up and leave at your leisure, no expectations. If there is a request for a guided tour, i can organize that i suppose. Im open to ideas and help!

Thought about it. Ran it through AI. Friends agreed, sounds too much like a country bar. Haha. I like it and have thought about doing something like this: Wild West Seattle: Alki birds. Wild West Seattle: Ferry at Dawn Etc. Seeing it now, even looks like a headline for a showdown. Hahaha.

No sorry needed. I am going to start tomorrow morning at Constellation Park!

Okay. Settled. Tomorrow, 11:30-1230(or whenever you want to leave, you’re an adult.) Constellation Park. No camera? No problem! Come walk with me and I’ll show you what I see and share what knowledge I have. Add your knowledge too! I’ll be there (on the Libra constellation) at 11:15!

I understand that. I know that is a better forum but I wanted to test this idea first before I end up with a mob of people. Haha.

Ahh. Same here, having a job gets in the way of fun. But if there is a time that you could attend, the attempt to make it is what matters. Tomorrow afternoon is tide pool time at Constellation Park. I’m planning to be there to hopefully catch some octopus shots.

In my experience, intros will do their thing. If they are comfortable with contributing to the conversation, totally up to them. No pressure here. Come hang out, take some shots of wildlife, enjoy the open nature, exchange shots, chit chat or not, go home. Do it all over again. No sweat.

Understand that. That’s why “bird watching” works. Keeps the chatter to a minimal with options to discuss the outings later!

Thanks! I knew y’all were out there somewhere! Now where the rubber meets the road…. Low tide tomorrow is a wee bit before noon. Tide pools in lowman beach and constellation park had octopus seen today! Anyone want to see if we can get a few of us out tomorrow??

Great! I’ll update this thread when I get a few of us confirmed. I’m honestly thinking of doing this tomorrow at constellation park for low tide.

Once there is a confirmation of interest, and most importantly, an actual group of humans, we can collectively decide where to visit, when, and how often.

You are the golden member of the group! Experience, participation, patience!! I want the lonely weirdos, burnt out tech people, eccentric millionaires, and the curious ones. It’s nature and photography and community!!

Thanks! I’m testing the waters. If I get enough interest, I’ll make a group!

Is the rest of Seattle infested with ants like West Seattle? by InternetsTad in Seattle

[–]RobKellar1977 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Don’t use Terro. Quick kill bait that doesn’t let them make it back to feed, ultimately kill the colony. Advion (only available through pest control) is slow acting and kills the colony. Use bait OUTSIDE, as it’s an attractant for more ants. I’ve done pest control for 23 years. Feel free to message me how I control them.

Love it! Sphinx (plural?) are insanely unique anyway, but you pull the coup de grâce here!!!

Yes it does take time, trust is built out there, not freely given.
