“Quiet”
“Eugene Christmas”
Last year someone decorated a straggly little pine in our local park. This year the Parks department removed that tree as part of a fuel reduction effort, so the mystery decorator hung ornaments on one of the rhododendrons instead.
“Shiny”
People sometimes look at me funny when I’m down in the mud taking photos like this. I don’t really mind. My life is slow enough these days that I can afford to take some time & effort to appreciate the small beautiful things.
“Rhododendron”
Just a pic I liked from this morning’s walk in the rain.
“Winter’s Nap”
The older I get, the less interested I am in end-of-the-year think pieces, summaries, wrap-ups, and “best of” lists. Years pass so quickly at 66 years old that nothing less than a couple of decades seems really significant.
“Self-photobomb”
Fisheye fun atop Mount Pisgah
“Fluffed”
A cold morning for birds.
“Gills”
I was tempted to edit out some of the little imperfections of this mushroom but if I was going to do that I might as well just AI-generate the whole thing, which is an icky thought.
“Ferndrop”
Just playing around with macro lenses and a new flash.
