Revision History 2025
This is the 2025 revision history of the Lumen Perfectus Web site. Probably not of general interest, but it helps us keep track of the site's growth and maintenance.
We replace the "Photo of the Day" daily; we won't log those changes here.
Use the "newest photos" link in the table of contents at left to go directly to our most recent additions.
(2025)
- 03 May: April showers were scarce but we have May flowers anyway. Our quest to capture a nice photo of arrowleaf balsamroot continues with this week's new picture, a close-up view of the backside of a single blossom front-lit an hour after sunrise.
- 27 April: We've a number of ring-necked pheasants in the fields around our home in northwest Montana. A brightly-colored male gave us several minutes to grab a photo before taking flight over the hills above us.
- 19 April: Somehow, our most popular (in terms of sales) image of snowy owls, made way back in 2012, was never posted on our site. Today, rectified.
- 12 April: It's been years since we've added to our 'Close ups' gallery; today's new picture, made with our new Sony camera and lens, shows one of many dew-draped orb spider webs found on a recent morning in the hills above our home.
- 05 April: This week's addition was made around the time of last week's merlin photo. A red-tail hawk flies against the pure white background of the distant Mission Range.
- 29 March: Today we've posted a photo made in February of a prairie merlin flying though a snow squall with snow-covered mountains making a 'pure' backdrop.
- 23 March: Replaced the photo posted yesterday with a reprocessed version.
- 22 March: In December, 2024, we posted a couple of photos of a long-tailed weasel in its winter white coat. There'd been no snow, making the weasel stand out in the darker dry surroundings. Today we've posted a photo made after the heavy snows of February, showing the effectiveness of the animal's camouflage.
- 15 March: Our new posting is yet another photo of the Mission Range in winter light just after the sun has set. Added missing 'title' tags on the last three posted images.
- 08 March: This week, another photo of the Mission Range, this an early February image of a part of the range lit by late afternoon light as the sun is setting. This required adding a sixth page to the appropriate gallery.
- 01 March: We've posted a B&W photo of a part of the Mission Range under dark storm clouds on a January afternoon. We'd had little snow in the Mission Valley (which would change to LOTS of snow by the end of February) but the mountains had good snow early on.
- 22 February: Today's new photo completes the 'travelogue' of our August, 2024 hike in the Absoroka-Beartooth Wilderness. It is another photo showing a small pond adjacent to Flake Lake reflecting sunrise on a nearby mountain. Later that morning we packed up and hiked out, ending six days in the wilderness that spans the Wyoming/Montana border.
- 15 February: We've added another picture of Flake Lake in the Absoroka-Beartooth Wilderness, this picture showing a small pond reflecting sunrise light on a nearby mountain.
- 08 February: We've added another picture of Flake Lake in the Absoroka-Beartooth Wilderness.
- 01 February: We continue our August, 2024 hike in the Absoroka-Beartooth Wilderness with an afternoon photo made from our campsite at Flake Lake in Wyoming. We are on our way back to the trailhead and will wrap this up after the posting of a few more pictures.
- 25 January: This week's posting is a photo of Golden Lake under approaching storm clouds, in the Absoroka-Beartooth Wilderness in Montana. This required adding a third page to the gallery documenting our August, 2024 hike into the area.
- 18 January: We've added yet another photo (the last of three) of an unnamed waterfall in the Absoroka-Beartooth Wilderness. This was made after climbing higher and getting closer to the waterfall.
- 11 January: Lovely winter alpenglow on the Mission Range is this week's new photo. It's the first posting made with our Sony A7 CR camera and FE 20-70mm G lens.
- 04 January: The first new picture of 2025 is another of an unnamed waterfall draining a snowfield into Jasper Lake in the Absoroka-Beartooth Wilderness in Montana.
- 01 January 2025: Updated the Revision History pages for the new year.
