Clerkmanifesto is going context free for 100 days!
While I retire from 31 years at the Roseville Library, sell nearly everything I own, fly with my darling wife to Japan for 40 days, and then move together to France to start to build a life there, I present a less explained clerkmanifesto, a clerkmanifesto of snapshots and time travel. Below you may see old posts without introduction from my 4,750 post collection. You may see random photos, brand new or years old. I may write a passage about Japan as if of course you know I'm in Japan, I may make a simple observation or joke, but whatever it is, I won't be explaining it. You'll have to take it as it comes.
For more context you are welcome to read this longer introduction.
And if this is all too confusing I welcome you to investigate our thousands of fully explained historic posts from the past 12 years, though I'll be the first to admit, hours later, you may still come away a little confused.
Here, however it works, is what clerkmanifesto has for you today:
I took some pictures of bees today.
I used to use a special lens attachment for macro photography that I had to be very close to my subject with, but it broke. It was hard because I had to be terribly still and precise to keep in focus. Then I used a zoom, which I had to be kind of far away for, and then could zoom in a lot, but not as much as I wanted. Now I use my phone which has a great close up camera on it, but I have to be practically touching the subject with my lens again.
But today's bumble bees did not mind!
These were some nice bumblebees!
Just for fun today I will show you first two unaltered, unedited images of the bumblebees. Actually, they all got mixed up, so I'm only pretty sure these are the unedited ones:
And then here are some more worked up versions of my bee pictures (mostly involving color saturation, clarity, and resolution):

Post a Comment
If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
