I don’t know if it’s a glitch or what, but every time I open Instagram it’s the same few posts at the top of my feed, even though I hid them weeks ago to try to stop it.

Fall colours make the world go round 🍂

#photography #photo #fujifilm #nature #naturephotography #ocean #fall #autumn
Picnic tables under a bright orange tree at a park by the ocean. Fallen leaves scattered across the ground. A stacked hillside island home surrounded by water and trees. A few birds fly over the calm water. A quiet park scene with a serene empty bench and scattered orange leaves. Changing fall orange leaves offset remaining strong greens. Wavy grasses and ferns lining a roadside, backed by dark green foliage with orange transitions.

Finds of tonight’s walk

#photography #photo #fujifilm #nature #sunset
A pink elephant sculpture with a kids coat hanging on the trunk A tree with dead branches, covered in leaves at the base. A weathered wooden railing with the words “LOOK UP” carved/painted onto it. A sunset through barbed wire, with an urban concrete water pit, layered.

A Temu ad for a shirt reading “Yes, I am a boy / No, I’m not cutting” (presumptively supposed to end with something like “my hair”, but cut off)

Workin on working on a thing.
Mockup of a website hero "Cameron Giles is a performance designer who puts the why before the what. Shaped in DTC marketing, he moves fast, adapts faster, and holds impact at the core." "I see design as problem-solving first. I’ve always been a creative, but what drives me is working toward outcomes — achieving targeted results while bringing clarity, setting tone, and creating meaning. I get along with those that take design seriously and treat it as a tool, not just a topping."

Studies show that watching ducks in the park makes you happy (I'm studies).

Ducks in the pond, framed by lily pads, a weeping tree, and emanating waves and wakes.

Trying to find the beauty in everything, but it sure isn't hard with a city like this.

#photography #photo #fujifilm #travel
A lady set up on a ledge in front of a manicured red flowerbed, with a red umbrella open beside. A beautiful courtyard with a layered building and trees, with a seaplane flying above. An old orange VW van driving by, with the driver tossing up a peace sign. A stacked shot with a distant parliament building, with a shadow-y foreground featuring lights, a palm tree, and a totem pole.

Really liking walking around with a camera.

A high photo of a brick building with a street, populated with people, trees, cones, and city infrastructure. A parked being worked on, with a table of tools in front, and various layers of items like a clothing line, and a bike.

Why did nobody tell me earlier that Adobe has a font identifier that actually works well and goes straight to their options

I don’t know about y’all, but me personally I love the stories that cars wear.

#photography #photo #cars
A BMW motorbike in front of a Mitsubishi Delica van with a ski box. A Dodge Grand Caravan street parked in a patch of sun, with a dented rear bumper. A Honda Odyssey behind a decorated street pole. Signs of aging on the bumper, neglect with debris under the windshield wiper, yet care with the sun protector in the window. The back corner of a Pontiac Bonneville(?) with remnants of tape and repair on the tail light.

I hate when sites animate their tab name, but this is even worse UX where I now need to click into every tab to see which one was which.
Chrome tabs with the animated text that changes to try to catch your eyes, reading "Hurry back"

Oh I thought this was some cool Keith Haring artwork when I scrolled by
Silicone hoses for a car, but they look like some nice abstract line art to me.

Pros: remembered to set a reminder
Cons: I wonder what it was supposed to be for…

I think we need to bring back old workplace posters (c. 1944)
