A year ago yesterday (thanks @donkeydownburst.bsky.social for reminding me), Colin and I found ourselves gobbling up some Jet's pizza along the shoreline of the UP of Michigan. Our original intent of the trip was to photograph fall colors, but the night skies definitely stole the show. What a night.

Not to mention being under the delightful misapprehension that once one achieved adulthood, one would automagically have one’s shit together…

So - Disney kow-tows to Drumpf and his psychopaths.

Some imbecile cast Jared Leto despite the shitstorm of commentary about his amoral/illegal behaviour.

Plus a ludicrous partially regurgitated screenplay.

Don’t break their magnificently insular world view. Their understanding of WW2 comes purely from watching Audie Murphy single-handedly routing the Nazis and other similarly jingoistic offerings. 🙄

That’s phase 1. When restarting makes naff all difference, the mark of a truly indifferent IT droid who can’t be bothered to exercise their little grey cells with anything so tedious as actual troubleshooting is to claim that the next step will be to completely reimage the PC…

Yesterday was my first day this trip #hiking in #Colorado, and some stubborn large clouds kept covering the sun on a very partly sunny day. Eventually they parted some, & the sun/cloud/shadow mix made a nice backdrop (Meadow Mountain trail near Minturn).

This roast chicken is a real show stopper, perfect for Christmas or a big Sunday lunch. It isn’t usually cooked with shallots but we’ve added a few to make the sauce extra delicious. Leave them out if...

Cypress in Autumn fog
#photography #NaturePhotography #landscape
A bald cypress tree cluster rises from calm, mist-covered water. The tree's reflection is slightly obscured by ripples and a low fog that drifts across a forested shoreline. The soft morning light brings out hues of green, blue and brown, reflected in the lake water.

“One doesn’t have to operate with great malice to do great harm. The absence of empathy and understanding are sufficient. In fact, a man convinced of his virtue even in the midst of his vice is the worst kind of man.”
