IMPORTANT: All blog posts will be posted in ONE blog here on Blogger.



IMPORTANT:  ALL of my blog posts will be in ONE blog (link below) from here forward.

Word Press has failed to impress me, and paying for something that isn't really quite hitting the mark for me is, well, just stupid.  I'm letting Word Press fade away, and I'm bringing my split blogs together into ONE blog, which I renamed from "All Things Ephemeral" to "Summer Shaddow."  Irony?  I'll refrain from going on about that irony and get on with the message here.

Bottom line:  All of my blogs are split, and from today forward ALL blog posts will go into ONE blog here on Blogger (link below).  All Things Ephemeral is a very old blog, the first one I ever created, and I've had it for so long that it just seems right to keep up with the original.

I realize some of you have gotten used to one of my blogs or the other, and I appreciate you taking the time to read, and even to send messages etc.  But it has come to a point now where having too many blogs is really taking up too much time, and it's wearing me out trying to keep up with them all.

I hope to see you at Summer Shaddow, formerly titled "All Things Ephemeral.

Change, and Long Overdue.


It was time.  As much as I love the pic of the birds dancing in the rain it was just time to change things up a bit here, to refreshen and start over again.  Seriously.  It was time.

I have to be honest here, both with you, and also with myself.  The time for consolidating my blogs is also LONG overdue.  For years now I've split everything up depending on topic or theme or subject (sort of), and it's not made things easier.  In fact, everything concerning my blogs at the moment, the multiple blogs for multiple topics is just driving me up a wall.  Why do you think I've been talking about it for so long?  Exactly!  Time to consolidate.  But WHERE, and what the hell do I do with my Word Press account?

It makes me tired, SO tired... just thinking about it.

Word Press may have to be reduced to something else, or completely abandoned, and I'll just have to come to terms with the fact that it was a good try that didn't work out.  So be it.  I mean, I have like 6 blogs!  What the hell was I thinking?  Yeah, okay.  I can laugh about it, but this needs resolved.  Dammit, but I've no idea where to start.

This decision is going to take a minute.....

NOTE: Deleted videos.



Having found that I need to clear out my blogs here, the video entries I made have been deleted.  NOT the blog posts but the videos.  My YouTube channel was just getting clogged with content, and I want to keep it focused on nature, eagles, creativity, etc.  It's what I need.

This 'house cleaning' of my blogs doesn't mean there won't be future posts.  There will definitely be future posts.  Now, about the location of such posts...  I paid for a year of Word Press and pointed my www.summershaddow.com domain to that blog.  I like it, but I became pretty accustomed to the look and feel of Blogger to the point where it feels a little more like home than at WP.  There is still time to consider the options, weigh the odds, and decide if I can keep up with so many blogs.  What was I thinking when I decided to split up topics and make a blog for each?  smh

Speaking of which, I should get back on-topic...

Video blog entries are there, but they lack the video.  Sorry for the mess and inconvenience this may cause anyone who's new and trying to catch up here, but I will discuss those topics again in the future, and I really did need to clean up my YouTube channel.

I guess that's all I need to say about the video blogs, and I will eventually (today, I hope) get to posting about all that's going on and has.

Till then....

PART III: SO much to talk about, but first...

RECAP:  I've been busy with a few projects, one is doing recap videos of the D.C. Eagle Cam eaglets, Honor and Glory.  Honor hasn't been seen since July 13, 2017, and while some think she simply has migrated, many of us think that's a little too soon.  But... the eagles do things on their time, so we really don't know.  I've included sound bites of her vocals, as well as Glory's vocals on his video (will post shortly).  They're two very different eagles with their own unique and distinct personalities.  Honor had to be rescued rather early on, which meant they did a DNA test and discovered she's a female.  This was no real surprise to me since she had overtly female traits (about 30% larger than her sibling, close to her mom's size, very large feet, larger, thicker beak, etc.).

I also made a video for both of them, which I will also post.

D.C. Eagle Cam, 2017:  Honor and Glory.  How do you tell the apart?  Honor is larger, has a larger beak, lighter colored feathers, bigger feet, and distinctly different vocals from Glory... who's vocals are higher pitched.  Going to miss these two.

Honor.... (I have to admit she's my favorite, though I adore Glory as well)....
