Yes, things are terrible. But this gorgeous coupe glass shows my espresso martini nicely.
I know, espresso martinis aren't hip any more, and your bartender will judge you. But I know how to make my own, and it lets me combine my love of booze and my love of coffee.
The world is still forked, so we still need to seek out cool stuff. A blue flower and a black eyed susan with a lovely green worm.
No alt text because my client is playing up and won't let me save it.
We are ruled by idiots and megalomaniacs, but that's no reason to give up. It's a perennial condition. So it is important to look for the great things in life. This morning it was flowers with intricate petals, and cool bugs. A cool bug in a rambling rose is a sure win for the day.
We're spending the week in Pensacola, and I have to say that the Florida stereotypes of everybody being crazy doesn't seem to hold here. Everyone seems pretty chill, it feels more like a small town than a major city. It feels exactly like southern Florida doesn't. Honestly, we could definitely get to like it here.
We caught the sunset last night from Battery 234 at Fort Pickens, on Santa Rosa Island, near Pensacola. This is a site of war, but nature has overtaken it, and we can find great beauty here.
I shared a slightly different edit of this deer a few weeks back. I picked it up again tonight, and I like this edit a lot better. She's part of our local herd that lives in town.
I tore my shop up two weeks ago looking for my marking gauges. Two of them have sentimental value because my dad made them for me.
I'm so unaccustomed to having my shop in decent order that I never once looked on the peg board.
I've been quiet on here, but I haven't completely neglected my
#art . I've been working on better editing techniques for night sky photography. It still needs work around the top of the lighthouse, but I'm really happy about the blending of the sky and the trees.
I've got a new teleconverter, which takes my effective focal length 945mm. And it's wonderful for moon photos.
Sure, it was cold out, but that's why I own warm clothes. So totally worth it to walk through the park and find myself surrounded by deer.
