Not all research
happens in a library or on a computer. My favorite kind is hands on research,
and when opportunity unfurls before me I try to run with it. Since I’m doing
that today, I’ll just just show you what the last month of it looks like in pictures.
 |
| The Name File is running dangerously low. Where can one find a wide variety of names? |
 |
| First time I've ever seen a headstone like this. This one goes into the story fodder file. |
 |
| How about a drive to another state for a l-o-n-g hike through rattlesnake country? Snake Gaiters are a thing. Kinda hot, eh? |
 |
| Fortunately I found no rattlesnakes But I did find this! |
 |
| I was hesitant to drink from it, so of course I did. Research. |
 |
| Oh, wait! Look! A Mama Bear and Three Cubs! In the middle of the forest. With just me. This is the picture of me running away. But no snakes! |
 |
| This was my Scottish themed party. Scottish fudge is called tablet. It's rather grainy. Yes. I was doing kilt research. I. Love. My. Job. |
 |
| Hands on research requires snacks. A trip to the orchard for the apples and voila! |
 |
| Trust me, you want this one small and blurry. This Scottish themed food was scarier than the bears. One bowl is dessert. One bowl is salmon. #WhenWritersCook |
 |
| A bit of glassblowing with an autumn theme, speaking of voila! I seize this opportunity frequently! |
 |
| A bouquet of four-leaf-clovers from a spot where the DEC has been working. What could possibly go wrong? |
 |
| How about some airborne research? |
 |
| Wait. Gliders don't have engines? Then how do they... |
 |
| Oh! A propeller plane tows them into the sky and drops them there? What could possibly go wrong? I'm in!* |
You make me wish I was doing research with you! Loved all the photos :)
