Using time-lapse photography, Journal Sentinel photographer Tom Lynn offers a day in the life of a game at Lambeau Field. Tom began by stationing a Canon EOS Mark II digital camera, mounted with a 16mm lens, atop the southwest corner of the stadium, encapsulating the entire bowl of the stadium with the field at its core. Powered by an external battery pack, the camera automatically fired every 20 seconds, shooting from 9:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., capturing the stadium as it filled with fans, as the game unfolded, and as the stadium emptied. The entire process captured 1,194 total images, which have been compressed into this two-minute video.

Nine-year-old Jelly spent some time yesterday walking around with a copperhead snake wrapped around her neck.

Owner Wendy Wallis said Jelly wandered back in to their property, which borders the creek at Sorell, about 11.30am yesterday carrying the snake with her.

She called wildlife rescuers who removed the snake.

“Both the cat and the snake seemed quite happy,” Ms Wallis said.

“She didn’t show any signs of a bite last night, but this morning she was almost paralysed.

“She’s at the Montrose vet at the moment being pumped full of anti-venom, but the vet says she’ll recover fully.”

Ms Wallis said she snapped the picture through a glass door, but didn’t dare open the door as the cat would have walked inside.

She said she hadn’t noticed any snakes on the property, but the previous owners and neighbours had seen them regularly.

She added it was a timely reminder about snakes being about at this time of year.

Jelly may well be thinking “One life down, eight to go!”
