Plus some geeky goodness ahead...This photo was from a few mornings ago and was one of those photos that came out so much better than I could have hoped. It is one of the great blue herons that “lives” at Winton Lake. This one took off as I got a bit too close. There was a good bit of squawking at me and then it took off. Within just a few seconds, it was in the air and well away from me across the lake. But this photograph came from 1/800th of a second or simpler said, 1.3 milliseconds. By comparison, a regular human eye blink is about 1/10th of a second or 100 milliseconds. So, the shutter on my camera somehow opens and closes in that incredible amount of time to visualize this singular moment.
I tried to share this and another SubStack post this morning and Meta/ Facebook removed them both. Just a warning: Facebook is now seeing Substack as "looking for likes" which could get the person put in FB jail
Good luck. I was banned for SIX months for posting a "brainy quote" from Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 just after the "new rules" about incendiary language were first decided. Now you can get away with a lot more but ... Come on, Ray Bradbury!?
It's the reason I left Instagram and Pinterest and why I am only part of 2 groups.

Weirdly, when I crossposted my thing today, it went through fine...
I guess it depends in who's minding the store
