Following the straight and narrow path.

Note: took this the day before I fell down a few steps. Still in recovery mode but going well.

Whenever I glance at this photo I feel it has an impressionistic look. Unintentional but I like it.

At Georgia Aquarium

Pre-dawn, pre-WWDC, pre-exercise sky. Twas a lovely summer morn to take it all in.

I have wishes for WWDC but I’ve avoided all the predictions. I prefer to just take it in as a spectacle and enjoy anything they announce that appeals to me.

Speaking of endurance: proud of our daughter finishing high school on a high, gettting a good job she loves, registered for college classes (+1 this summer), and to me for finding a used car she loves. Also for finishing the photo challenge. πŸ˜‰

What swims in the ocean but isn’t a fish?

A lot of things actually. But dolphins are one example (mammals).

The stars and stripes flying over the memorial park. Thanks to all who serve and have served for providing us our freedoms. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

The contrail made me think of a scratch on the lens of an otherwise perfect fair-weather sky.

A rather odd quote written on a bar of soap in my Japanese hotel room a few years ago

I recently scheduled a vacation at a resort near San Antonio. It is a family favorite destination and requested by both the 18 and 13 year olds. But I was shocked at the price. So much higher than in the past. 😳 πŸ’΄

The desert can be a magical place. Sandia Mountain behind an isolated tree stand supported by a creek. I liked the contrast.

This Lego Technic truck was the most intricate we’ve built. Lots of remote controlled moving parts that were very fussy to install. Even so I still had fun building it with my then 10 yo son.

This morning the dew point was matched the temperature making the sky about as plain as it can be. The humidity was over 99%. My clothes got damp just from moisture in the air.

My wife knitted a combination of yarns into a textile rug. It turned out great!

Symmetry within asymmetry

As is often the case my second beverage of the day is a cup of black tea.

My favorite morning indulgence β˜•οΈ 🍩

A rather random selection of beer on tap. In a convenience store near Flagstaff Arizona. I’ve never seen this any where else. 🍺

β€œTo have and to hold”

My wife and I have been together for over 20 years. It’s been a joy filled relationship! πŸ’

Our dog had some skin spots removed today. Left side shows constant anxious movement with a cone of shame. Right side is with her β€œBad Dog” t-shirt covering the wounds. She hates both but hates the cone the most. 🐩

I have these and many other ways to tell time. None manage to displace my Apple Watch, even for a day.

Just noticed the dust. Sorry about that.

Clouds and a light pole

This short run of metal fence is purely decorative. It does not divide the community πŸ˜‰

This group of wild roses has formed their own little community, one of several on this prolific bush. 🌹

Tranquility on my exercise trail

Yesterday we got our first sashimi knife. It shipped from Japan and only took 3 days to arrive which amazed us. Conveniently for the MB challenge it came in a maroon box. πŸ”ͺ
