Wikipedia: Earth Snake, genus Virginia, one of the snakes commonly called worm snakes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_%28genus%29

Thanks.

Woodjin - Probably because the ground is uneven so you don't see the shadow.

Mark - I remember passing under a tree in central Jersey with one of those critters right above me, and yep enormous, and I didn't like the way it was looking at me. Speaking of birds, I wonder I that tree with all the hummingbirds on it is still in Batsto. More hummingbirds in one place -...

Looked it up. I think its an Earth Snake, genus Virginia, one of the snakes commonly called worm snakes.

Nice photos. What a very tiny snake! What is it?

4.3 million bucks for that silly snapshot of a canal or floodwater or whatever it is? Do you have the address of the guy who bought it? I got a bunch of snapshots for sale, way better than that one. I'll let him have the whole lot for a measly million. Special sale. Today only.

Same here!

I'm talking about the 1950's. Tri-X was introduced in the 1940's but first appeared in 35mm in 1954. "Back in 1954, when Tri-X debuted with an ASA 200 rating..." http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/18062784

Interesting! I got into photography in 1956 when I got an Ansco Memar 35mm camera. I have a lot of Anscochrome and Echtachrome color slides that I took then (both ASA 32). I also used B&W, mainly Plus X but also super-fast Tri-X when it came out - 200 ASA I think, or was it intially 100? But...

Didn't he just spin it around? I haven't seen it in a long time. Love that movie though, especially Keely Smith.

Woops - just noticed that. Is that a loop you made or the actual sound? Maybe the cleaning up program you used made them sound more raucus and relentless. I remember the whippoorwills and bob whites and water frogs and tree frogs and the sounds of the Pine Barrens from my backpacking and car...

Thanks. That's the sort of thing I was looking for, but I think it still has a way to go before it catches up with the stand alone GPS units (and puts them out of business). The reviews on Skobbler are very mixed, but reading them I found out about this one - OsmAnd. It gets mixed reviews too...

Hitch seems to be, as far as I can tell, that I can only download and save a small area of Google maps on to my tablet for offline use, so it wouldn't be useful for driving long distances, but it might be quite nice for, say, the NJPB.

But lots of good reviews for Google maps - and it's free! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.maps

Navigon for Android. Lots of bad reviews. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.navigon.navigator_checkout_us&hl=en

Oh yeah of course - duh - like downloading maps to my GPS so the maps are on the GPS and not just picked up online. Duh. My Samsung 7" tablet has built in GPS and so does my little Samsung 4.2". Any idea how poi's and road routing and saving waypoints etc. compares on those tablet mapping...

Less. $180 for the 7" Samsung Android tablet at Costco, which is the one I have - but I'm totally confused about using it as a GPS. Doesn't it need to be online to function as a GPS? Mine won't acquire maps unless I'm online, but haven't owned it for long and know very little about it. I've...

Well, I'm going to have to get a new one sooner or later I think, though I've been accustomed to the Garmin 176 and 276C style for years now, but my 276 battery just went dead (tho it still works on external power) and I can't find my spare, and the buttons are becoming more unresponsive, and...

What, if any, advantages does the Oregon or Montana have over the latest Nuvis if you're only going to use it in a vehicle, including a vehicle driven off paved roads, like in the Pine Barrens or the Sonoran desert for instance? Meanwhile my Garmin 276C is still chugging along.
