h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Great editorial this week

Thanks for highlighting the stats! The smiley-searcher seems to have sorted themself out now, which is a relief. The Post circulation is looking good indeed, which is a testimony to the contributors

Great photos, too! The NASA image is stunning, and I'm very impressed with your chipmunk action shots I tried something similar in a red squirrel reserve with my old camera, but the picture quality was disappointingly poor. Technology has moved on since then I look forward to seeing more of Tammy

Thanks, Sasha! I think we're at the slow point of the summer, anyway. For two weeks in a row, the parking lot at Walmart has been half empty...I think they're all on holiday.

In spite of which - or because of it - the Post Office inbox is constantly full. It's exciting to have so much great content.

I keep up a running paparazzo battle with the backyard wildlife. If I set up the tripod, they hide....but I will eventually get some more footage.

" If I set up the tripod, they hide..."

Ah, yes that is a battle indeed... I'm doing the challenge of trying to see and photograph 200 different bird species in one year, and learned that some bird feeders were being visited by Long Tailed Tits at 4pm every day like clockwork. They were indeed - every day except the day when I was there with my camera! All part of the fun

It's like Elektra always says, 'They have a bet on...'

with those long-tailed s.
