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.

“Agriculture”

I didn’t realize until today that the main downtown Post Office here had some relatively famous art.

Low water landscaping in industrial planter is some kind of choice.

“Lonely Job”

Control house atop an old rail bridge on the Siuslaw River. Considering that I was shooting through a car window at ISO 2000 I think this turned out pretty well.

“Rorshach Driftwood”
