When I have the odd day off....


One of my houseplants. An exercise in procrastination....

I will say that this was a practice is composition and some other fundamental rules. (Art has rules and formulas like anything else.)

Saturday's activites.


On Saturday I biked to a conservation area located near my apartment. My main goal was photos of birds, but I ended up leaving with this as my only picture. It's a Wooly Bear Caterpillar.

I adore these little guys and move them to safety if I discover them in a place where they can be squashed.

While walking the trail, my companion and I heard a strange call. I thought of a list of birds that were spotted in the area and exclaimed "it's a gray catbird". He thought that I was making it up until I pulled out my birding app and showed him. We never got a clear look at the bird but the area it was found in matched and the call was unmistakable. (It sounded like a Siamese cat.)

The total distance biked that day was about 15 miles plus all the walking we did in the conservation area. Not too bad.

Buttons!





 (My cat "Buttons")


I'm not dead. I'm just very busy.

In the past two months I've :

  • Found a new job that's actually tolerable. 
  • Been trying to improve my photography skills.
  • Been chillaxing in spare time reading various books. So far, all non-fiction. I'm not big on fiction.
