I have fun finding faces in the (horrible) fake marble linoleum cabinet in the bathroom. Some of them are surprisingly complete, with only a little enhancement needed. I’ve often had this urge to photo then photoshop them. But then . . . why?
Then there are all the constellations in the tri-colored floor tiles.
Wow! Good catch!
I wish I could have gotten a better image of the bigger rainbow. It was so strong. Even the violet, which is usually not that visible, was a big, strong bar of light. It was gorgeous.
Mind the dome.
Un-bee-lievable!
Our dining room has been playing host to really dumb, but really chill wasps over the last couple of weeks. Probably because the dogs won’t come in when they’re called and somebody’s holding the door open for too long…
Once inside, they can’t seem to figure out how to get back outside, even while the door is open and you’re trying to find the right balance of shooing them out and not pissing them off. Sometimes, you can open the door and they’ll just stay put on the door or door frame.
…maybe it’s the same wasp, and each time we successfully usher it out, it just comes back.
Two bees are flying together. The first one says: “Hey, why are you wearing a yarmulke?” The second bee says, “So no one takes me for a wasp.”

Ah. So to make Maxwell’s demon work, give atoms a neural node and a thruster. They’ll trap themselves in no time. Self-filling gas cannisters and everything.
That was better than what ever quip I was coming up with.
My brain did read @Crashproof 's original comment as WASP and not wasp and it confused me until I realized we were talking about the insect.
I’m imagining some frat boy from Dartmouth coming wandering through the kitchen door and drinking beers from the fridge. Then, when you’re trying to get him to leave but still trying to be a good host, he’s hanging out in the doorway while saying his goodbyes. Just when he’s about ready to leave, he sees his friends and waves them in: “this guy’s cool, c’mon in!”
WASPs. Let one in, then before you know it you have an infestation.
I had to zoom in on the bottom pic to see if that was a croc.
Yeah, that would be unusual, but, you know, climate is changing …
Well technically not today but 2 days ago now…
Invasion of the GIANT HEAD!
Calder’s Eagle and that Seattle thing in the background.
And finally you can tell it is a Serra by the large pieces of rusting metal.
Last Sunday’s morning nature walk. (Only a week late posting.) We were having a cold snap and I had to bust out the winter gloves again; I thought I was done with those (being a northern hemisphere type and it being April) but no. Anyway, it was brisk and fresh and gave us nice morning mist over fields and ponds, and Spring in the southeast is achingly beautiful.
I live on that “mountain” (as we call it) in the background, to the right in the picture behind those trees and up in there a ways. This means that every bike ride begins with me zooming across the valley and ends with mandatory hill training. The first year with the bike I just walked the uphills, but three-and-a-half years on now the hills are the best part.
Morning mist. Yes my camera is ****; it won’t auto-focus in low light conditions, and auto-focus is the only focus. The result is Impressionistic at times, but I love it for not being Internet-connected, which keeps me from feeling like I’m leaving a trail of blinking red dots as I roam.

Woke up to this:
Looks like a truck slammed into the business across the street from me.
Would you believe I slept through it?
Interesting that it has inner brick and outer brick. Did the building get a facelift at some point? Or is that a common construction method?
