A comment from oneowner had me detouring from wasting time with one thing to wasting time with another. Specifically — as the title of the post implies — processing a few old photos using current tools. In this case, photos of a train trestle originally snapped in 2012 and featured in this week's SmugMug Appreciation... Continue Reading →
February 2022 Monochrome Ice Storm Macros
Pressure Points This is a continuation of yesterday's post, namely, the monochrome versions of those shots. Typically, I would lump those photos together — color and monochrome — in one post, plus add a bunch more semi-related photos. Unfortunately, all that takes time to compose and read, as can be experienced by reading THIS post.... Continue Reading →

Travel Photos — Where in the World 010
Once more, it's been a while since one of these. Such a long while that I almost forgot about them, so I can only imagine what a surprise this will be for the few readers of this blog. What prompted me to author this post? Well, we're not traveling, and not likely to travel much,... Continue Reading →

Travel Photos — Where in the World 009
It's been a while since one of these. Such a long while that I almost forgot about them, so I can only imagine what a surprise this will be for the few readers of this blog. What prompted me to author this post? Well, I got annoyed. I read a post on another blog (from... Continue Reading →
Travel Photos — Where in the World 008
Would you believe it's been eight days since my last post? Well, it's true. Not only that, people probably forgot we're still doing the Alphabet Challenge. It's been a long while since I've gone this long without posting, but my navel doesn't clean itself, and filing my nails takes a lot of time and patience.... Continue Reading →

I wave at you three
For them wondering about the title, "I wave at you"<<link and "I wave at you two"<<link are previous posts exploring/offering wave photos (and, if interested, one of those explores my legs). This short post continues the titles (with fewer photos, and no legs ... maybe). So, that's right out of the camera, except I turned... Continue Reading →
I don’t know landscapes
Nota Bene: if you are reading this on the Reader, and if you are using a Dark Theme or Dark Mode, AND if you are on an Android device . . . well, then, you're likely not able to read this post (or many of my previous posts). Let me repeat this using a white... Continue Reading →
Travel Photos — Where in the World 005
On a day I'm recovering from the Shingles vaccination (second dose), I figure I'd do a simple post that won't much tax my weakened state. If you see errors or muddled writing, it's not the regular me; it's the me who's functioning on about three hours of sleep and coming off a fever. Anyway, as... Continue Reading →
