I’m traveling but have a strange compulsion to still add something to the blog.
A post, perhaps . . . something like this one. A few words, a few photos.

It’s late and I’m tired . . . and we’ve gone the whole day without Internet service.
Apparently, a contractor cut a fiberoptic cable . . . it must have been a pretty big cable for it to be out most of the night and all day . . . wait . . . I don’t think contractors work at night. I’m guessing Mediacom has got other issues and are blaming it on some hapless contractor.
I’d love to add phot or two, but the wonderful WordPress App is not showing me the Media Library. Rather, it shows the library as a bunch of blank files.
That’s it. This post has ended . . . except for the stuff below. <><><><><><><><o><><><><><><><><><o><><><><><><><> Note: if you are not reading […]

I take a lot of photos with my Samsung Note 8 but despite my best intentions, I’m way behind in sharing them. This post attempts to make up for some of that . . . except you won’t see the actual photos.
Instead, these offerings are modified versions of the photos; modified either by editing or by combining them with other photos. There is a SmugMug gallery HERE but I’m not sure how useful it is as far as seeing “more” given these are occasionally highly modified. Note: not all the photos presented below are in the gallery. Variations presented here might not have a SmugMug counterpart.
Also, not presented in chronological order.
Sometimes life has one sit and wait for stuff to happen. Like, for instance, a few times this week.
Well, then, one takes out their Note 8 — if one has a Note 8 — and snaps a few photos.
Those were hanging in a dentist’s office, of all places.
Other times, one takes out their Note 8 — if one has a Note 8 — and plays with said photos. One plays with the Snapseed App.
See, one took those photos trying to minimize reflections on the picture’s glass, including the potential for an accidental selfie.
On a recent update, Samsung added the capability for Super-slow Motion to the Note 8. Mind you, it’s very limited. By limited, I mean that you can only shoot a few seconds of video and end up with about 6 seconds of slow motion captures.
The problem is that you have to catch whatever you want to film just right . . .
I’m about 18-24 inches away from these guys, for them who want to know.
I mentioned the Doves doing what Doves do . . . and they done did it under my nose. Well, not literally but I was too slow in denying them a nesting spot in my gutters.
