Whose Place?

Knowing the mind’s propensity for photo reprocessing, they might want to rethink the name of their diner. #chefarts #diner #photoprocessing #mind

Treat for the Wandering Eye

Quiet and unobtrusive, the painted rock rested by roots of an old oak next to the sidewalk; a happy thought for anyone who should chance a glance at it. #rock #happythought

Wednesday, June 17, 2026, the Moon passed from right to left in front of Venus during the daytime. The right photo shows Venus to the left of the approaching Moon, and the left photo shows Venus to the right of the departing Moon. It is hidden behind the Moon on the central image.

Leaves and twigsContinue reading “Earning Its Wings”

The fallen branches no longer balance the growth on the other side, and it may soon topple over as well. WeContinue reading “Broken Oak”
