“Trail Danger”

Downstream end of the Trail Bridge Reservoir. The trail along here is signed “Enter at Your Own Risk.”

“Sunny Leaf”

Big landscape photos mostly didn’t work out on yesterday’s hike. Fortunately there are still small things.

“Blue Pool”

A scenic spot on the McKenzie River. Look closely and you can see the two young men who decided a swim in 35-degree water was a good idea. They didn’t stay in the water long.

Tamolitch Blue Pool. It's hard to do this one justice on a cloudy day, but this picture (from near the top of the precarious herd trail to pool level) gives some idea. #dailyphoto #oregon

“Nature Lurks”

“Drops”

A tiny snowdrop in the rain. Photographed with EM-1 III in-camera focus stacking.

“Hummies”

Shot through the chain-link fence at a closed school.

“Snarl”

Detail from a downtown Eugene building. Too bad they don’t make them like this any more.

I really don’t need another camera body, but $134 for an Olympus PEN e-M1 is certainly tempting…

All that remains of a rose that bloomed too early this year.

I’m not entirely sure how useful it will prove to be, but baby photo printer sure is cute.

“Dunes”

Another shot from South Jetty at Florence.

One of the most popular Valentine’s gifts at my wife’s store this year is a stuffed axolotl holding a donut. No, I don’t understand it either.

“Snails All the Way Down”

More Eugene parking meter art.

(Alas, some of the mini art pieces have already been vandalized or stolen. This is why we can’t have nice things.)

Crocuses are an early flower but we are allegedly in Zone 8 and it’s only February and I don’t even know any more.

Just some very early crocuses in our neighborhood.

“Stalking”

Neighborhood cat on the move.

Bleak. Even with the potential upsides, I don’t see how our society absorbs the exponential growth in AI capabilities without falling apart.

I wonder whether AI or climate change will destroy us first.
