There are 14,387,941 jackrabbit poops in this front yard. [1]

Have I said that we get a lot of jackrabbits [2] in the yard in the winter here? Prairie life.

[1] Approximately.
[2] White-tailed jackrabbit, which is actually a hare, not a rabbit at all. AKA prairie hare.

A photograph of a front yard in late winter / early spring in Saskatchewan, in the middle of the Canadian prairies. The yard is covered deeply with snow, but it is melting. The entire yard is covered with small black objects, which are actually jackrabbit (hare) poop. Like, many, many thousands of them.

What’s blooming today in the garden is the Peggy Martin Rose. Her namesake’s house sat under 20 feet of water for two weeks during hurricane Katrina. As one of the few plants to survive, cuttings were sold to raise money for restoration projects. She’s a hardy thing and I love her trailing blooms. #bloomscrolling #flowers #rose #gardening #yard

Another long exposure and also using the solar filter (the filter used usually to observe solar eclipses), but this time, coupled with my modified camera; a camera that is tinkered with to be able to take a full-spectrum images (with the help of other filters). Again, I'm using here the Rokinon 8mm fisheye lens, which is completely manual, and the solar filter was taped to the back of the lens.
I was quite surprised for the exposure here. I was expecting something in the range of 3-5 hours because I did so with a regular camera few days prior to this, but unexpectedly, the calculated exposure time here was about 42 minutes and 50 seconds, so approximately 43 minutes. The general look here looks like a scene that I'd get from using an infrared filter on the lens with a low threshold (650~700nm). It seems that the solar filter might block most of the visible (and maybe the ultraviolet) range of light, but when it comes to infrared, it is quite permissible!

Another long exposure, and this one was like an adventure for me, for various reasons:
- One: It was taken with my favorite fisheye lens (Rokinon 8mm) which is completely manual; so all calculations and control must be done manually here (plus a lot of test shots).
- Two: The fact that it is a fisheye lens, I had to improvise a way to fit any filter "in" it. No way to put any filter on the front; so, the filters would be applied to the back (by insertion into some grooves or using tiny pieces of duct tape).
- Three: I've used a solar filter here, which is typically used to observe the sun and solar eclipses, and typically it has high opacity.
- Four: Because of the filter, the exposure at basic ISO level would naturally be "long". Literally... "long". The exposure for this shot here was 5 hours and 20 minutes approximately.

So, the scene here appears empty, but in reality there were people going in and out and there was pretty much movement around the place, but nothing was recorded (of course). The colors also had to be fixed as the filter shifted the colors considerably. The noise level is HORRENDOUS to say the least! I really didn't even bother cleaning much of the noise here; cleaning it would leave me with a smudged image. Despite all of that, though, it is weird that back then, there was not much breeze or wind to shake the branches (something I was hoping for actually to add action to the scene). I've noticed that every time I try to do a long exposure, not much breeze or wind play out - bad luck? Maybe. Or maybe this is what they call "karma"?
