It's a day for tricks and treats. For every bowl of brightly wrapped candy for the little masked ones at your door, there is a trickster in nature, and a treat on many a vine and bush. Wild raspberries grapes and hickory nuts are treats for nature photographers and squirrels alike. A mirage in the desert plays visual tricks. A rust mimics a flower and tricks the insects into spreading it around. Catbirds really sound like a cat and trick feline lovers. Birds of Paradise don spectacular costume and are a treat for the eyes.</p> <p>Maybe the best treat of all is the new 1000 pixel size for images across all forums. The opener today is a fine treat from the fall season woodlands. <em>Lepiota procera</em> is a treat worth waiting for. What do you have for Monday in Nature? Tricks or treats.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

User_6502147 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 <p>This (treat) is from outside of Bridgeport, Ca. Woke up and all the cars were covered in frost. Fortunately, I had enough wits not to put effort into camping....and the elevation was the give away. The plumage is from one of the cruising falcons (kastrel ?).</p> <p>But, I'm still tricked by the ads every other photo....was that the trade off for 1000 pixels ?</p> <p>Les</p> <P> <IMG SRC="http://static.photo.net/attachments/bboard/00e/00eD52-566173884.jpg"> </P> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Sorensen Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 <p>+1 to being annoyed by the ads. Not worth it to get 1000 pixels if that is the reason. Whatever the reason, hopefully it will go away quickly.<br> On a side note, this is my favorite set of photo.net posts every week.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Weishaupt Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 <p>To my knowledge there was no trade off for 1000 pixels. Some things were changed at the same time. Please see <a href="/site-help-forum/00eCfm">this</a> thread about the pixel size as well as other items of interest such as ads. Subscribers see far fewer ads. Site Help is a better place to discuss it, if one feels the need or desire.</p> <p>Rod, glad you enjoy the party. You're in good company.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Currie Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 <p>Slightly off the nature topic, I'd like to say that if the ads are the tradeoff for 1000 pixels, I'm OK with it, because the old sidebar ads sometimes covered the text, and sometimes insisted on loading fully before any other text or images would appear. The new system seems to be working pretty well. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcstep Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 <p>Interesting, at home, I'm seeing small ads. They don't bother me, but I couldn't see them on my computer at work for some reason. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
