User talk:Rhododendrites
Possible FPCs[edit]
Experimenting with a permanent section on my talk page. I've opened sections at COM:CRIT in the past, but I'm uncomfortable posting there too often and/or taking up a lot of space there. So here are images I'm considering (as is or after edit) for featured picture candidates. I plan to add/remove from this section semi-regularly. If you think one is a particularly good or bad idea, or if you have thoughts about potential edits, please let me know below!

- Stumbled upon this section again, and I must say the mockingbird striking a pose is excellent. The background mirroring its contours makes it look like it's center stage at some 1920s Broadway production. Just my 2 c. (I was looking to see if you were covering the NYC Easter Parade in some way.) --Cart (talk) 14:13, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks, W.carter. Nominated. It looks like I may have come too close to its nest. "Too close" is relative, though -- mockingbirds can be quite aggressive in defending their nests/territories, divebombing passersby, etc. As for parades, I haven't quite gotten back into the habit of event photos since the pandemic started. I went out a few times for photos of George Floyd protests, but that's about it. I did resume applying for press passes again, though -- got one for a science conference, and one pending for Comic Con. :) — Rhododendrites talk | 23:37, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

Shells[edit]
Many thanks. I think, You can send the shells as a parcel. In the customs declaration, it is best to state "scientific material, no commercial value". Greetings --Llez (talk) 15:14, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
- Ok. I'll ping you whenever this happens to get an address, etc. — Rhododendrites talk | 16:27, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
Happy holidays![edit]

Season Greetings[edit]
Wishing You all the best for the Holiday Season! I hope You are warm, safe and treated kindly |
- @W.carter: Happy New Year! Is that a friend of yours? — Rhododendrites talk | 21:52, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi! Unfortunately not. Since I'm very allergic, it's hard for me to have animals as friends. But I'm totally shameless when it comes to stealing short moments with dogs or cats I meet when I'm out and about with the camera. :-) The camera is a good way of striking up conversations and get a few moments of quality animal time. --Cart (talk) 21:59, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
Best wishes[edit]
- @Aristeas: Happy New Year! Smart move making the card a template. That way you can wait until we've all archived it and forgotten and change it to something crazy. :) — Rhododendrites talk | 21:52, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Happy holidays[edit]
Hi Rhododendrites, Happy hollidays. Ottawahitech (talk) 16:43, 29 December 2023 (UTC) 16:52, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks, Ottawahitech. [Belatedly] same to you! Glad you like that photo -- first time I'd ever seen that "UFO" style of architecture, I think. — Rhododendrites talk | 21:35, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
- Actually, it is not the architecture that drew my uneducated attention. It was the trees framing the buildings. I have studied many of your photos, and I love the look of the trees, mainly the tree trunks. But as I said I have a totally untrained eye. Cheers, Ottawahitech (talk) 19:46, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Ottawahitech: At some point while fellow WikiNYC folks were working on en:Trees of New York City I had a thought to make portraits of trees. I set up User:Rhododendrites/trees for past photos, but I guess I forgot about it until now... — Rhododendrites talk | 20:18, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
