Photo Contest 2020 - June - Flowers

Taken June 4, 2020, in the Golan Heights, Israel, while out on a bike ride, with my Samsung Galaxy A10s phone camera. Like me, partly wilting in the heat, but also persevering.

Cambridge, UK; poppy; June 2018. Nikon D5300; playing with some new macro extension rings. I can't remember what lens I used, which is poor record-keeping.

Meta Merge imported and new user accounts.

I noticed that some of the posts I wrote on SE Outdoors were imported, apparently to give the illusion of more activity here than there really is. It was a little disconcerting to see that, althou...

While biking in general is on topic for Outdoors, the nitty gritty of bike mechanics and the like is better left for a site specific to bicycles.

Q&A Adjusting derailleur with bike upside down, is it ok?

Yes, turning the bike upside down is the best way to adjust the derailleur without a bike stand. It puts the derailleur closer to you and keeps both wheels and pedals free of the ground. The only s...

Q&A Planted cherry tomatoes too close together; can I still recover?

Pinch off (kill) the smaller of the two plants. Leave just the roots and base of the smaller plant. Anything else you do is going to adversely effect the larger/better plant.

Q&A Why would a skunk be chasing a human?

There is a video on reddit where a skunk is chasing a woman around. It's not spraying or even threatening to spray, but it's sure trying to keep up with her. Why would a skunk be doing that?
