Vernal Pool Life

Phantom Midge

This is one of the creatures from my most recent series. It is a long one that is nearly transparent. I think this is its only means of locomotion.

The two large internal bladders are for maintaining orientation in the water.

This little guy is very active and therefore difficult to photograph. This is a snapshot from the following video:

New cargo plane for the 179th.

Alenia C-27j Spartan

I almost always have a camera setup to photograph birds when I am at Gorman Nature Center. This is one that I caught recently. It has distinctive 6 bladed props and looks like a cargo plane based on the under carriage. I did some checking and found that it was the Alenia C-27j Spartan. It is flown by the 179th Air National Guard. It replaces the C-130 flown by them preciously.

C-130 Transports

I have always liked aircraft in addition other machines. I was raised on a farm in mid-west Ohio and operation farm equipment from an early age. I have created a slide show showing different machines. I had it up for a few hours a month or more ago until I found I had problems with the music I had chosen to accompany it. The Eagles, Their Greatest Hits was unavailable. I learned to search for "royalty free music" in order to solve this problem. Jimmy Gelhaar offers such music and I chose "Bama Country" to accompany this show. It is hosted at my website. Let it download and start itself. It is called Machines.
