Photowalk plus gallery stop?

Why not.

Seeing others art in physical form is a good thing.

Branched chaos

Study in textures of a pile of cut branches in the yard

branches, mosty maple some oak and eastern red cedar. this is a bit of a study in texture and contrast, initially I'd planned to make it almost a binary black and white but I like the bark so this is one of the edits - might go back and do another edit but I like this the way it is. why does it feel weird to say I like my own photos? I know I'm SUPPOSED to like them, and I shouldn't have to justify or say that I like them and I want other people to like them too but that's now why I'm doing it and it is weird, just a strange loop knowing it is okay to like my own stuff and ultimately I'm the only one who should care if I like it or not and y'all can or not and that doesn't matter in the process, and now I'm rambling, my apologies to those using readers going through the alt-text of a pile of sticks

Euonymus alatus

incredibly invasive but, I really like the shape this one has and keep leaving it (even knowing I should rip it out of the yard)

These two showed two different approaches to that turn. One was faster than the other.

Walked over to the climb and took a few frames that, while still maybe not exciting are closer to what I wanted.

Rachel heading up the hill, the trail and path visible by the cleared leaves and the tire tracks - this hill was REALLY tough on a singlespeed btw Rachel coming back down the hill Kelsey coming down just about to make a turn between the trees rachel ramping up to come around one more turn before the finish and the shadow of the course tape on the grass.

After my race I went to get a few frames of the next race on the course... here's four frames from the off-camber downhill turn after the climb.

a woman entering the offcamber turn, the official race series photographer is three kneeling in the background a woman on her bike mid-turn on the offcamber a woman exiting the offcamber turn a woman mid-turn on the offcamber turn i found it a little bit of a challenge with the manual lens and racers going by quickly. there's more about the taking the photos and the subject than the actual photo itself. analog sports stuff is not easy, manual everything makes me want to get the old N6006 nikon out for the next race.

Found a few really minor spots on the sensor (again)
-still grumpy at previous self for letting dust get in there in the first place-

Thinking about a new plan of attack: stick some of the special microscope cleaning cotton swabs in the Glow Discharge in an attempt to make them sticky (charged).

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:

Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.

If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.

Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

I went out -> And it freaked me out.

#typewriter #poetry
I went out Among the normal people. I saw them Moving around, Seemingly unaware Of the horrors Everywhere. Many of them Smiled At each other, Or just looked calmly At the world Around them - No signs Of fear Or dread Or anxiety Or rage. I couldn't see Their calamity And it freaked me out.

Bird and their prey

Immature bald eagle? Maybe with a gull? It is not a small bird it caught, but doesn't look like a duck or anything else obvious.

If you can help a more definitive ID from this, that would be awesome and appreciated.
