I took this photo of my next-door neighbor's ham radio operator's antenna that he's just built. Little does he know I have visions of decorating it with tiny Christmas lights in December! Would it electrocute

I'm always struck by this blue scene around me. Often it just seems like blue on blue on blue! Lately it's been challenging to find it, because of heavy smoke from wildfires that complcomplex mothered

I find it more interesting to bring the camera when the weather is like this than on sunny days. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" (Laozi)

Lots of tiny blues here! This is a beautiful little rock plant that spills over the rock wall in my garden.

It wasn't all that long ago that when someone did something really silly you would say, "use your brains!" to indicate they need to think more carefully before repeating that again. But what
