I really need to plan some wildlife photography expeditions with my Pentax Takumar 500mm F4.5 lens. It's such a monster (8+lbs plus mount) that taking it somewhere really requires a lot of planning, and it helps to work as a team lol.

We really don't see enough creativity in floor labeling. Randomly numbered floors, lettered floors, the possibilities are endless. The glaring fact revealed by omitting 13 or other unlucky floors is that as long as you know which floor to go to you really don't care how high it actually is.

OK, I already posted tiny terrestrial snails, let's do a GIANT AQUATIC SNAIL. This is one of the largest marine snails in the world, a Horned helmet shell (C. cornuta). Helmet is right, that shell is THICK. #Snailposting #Invertebrates 🌿📷🐙

luv 2 hear about how this was a savvy move to press republicans
SCOOP: Schumer was more involved than reported with the attempted cave on the government shutdown. The Gang of 8 Senate Dems had his approval & he was getting daily updates.
In Thursday's caucus meeting, the Gang claimed they had 10 votes to cave. The caucus went nuts, leading to the new proposal.
