I once tried shooting an entire year in black and white. It didn’t last. In February 2026, I tried again, this time limiting myself to just one month. It resulted in the most Norwegian photo I've ever shot

#Caturday #Photography

Someday we will convince this wee beastie to give up her wild ways and come indoors to live with us.

Today is not that day.

In the meantime, she calls us to honour her prowess as a hunter, and I no longer have a rodent problem in my vegetable garden.

Tabby cat sits on a mat on a redwood deck, meowing loudly. A dead rodent of some kind sits under one paw. She is hell on the local rodent population, and wants us to know it.

Utility boxes in San Francisco, displaying Filipino vocabulary words. Some personal thoughts in the alt text.

#photography #streetphotography #streetart #Filipinoculture #sanfrancisco #philippines

Series of photos showing utility boxes on a city street, displaying flash card-style words in modern Tagalog and ancient Baybayin script, with an accompanying illustration and bordered by patterns inspired by Philippine textiles. This one shows the word “Yakap” (embrace) with a picture of two men hugging.

I’ve called New York home for decades and love my city. But I have to say I felt profoundly SEEN when I visited San Francisco, in a way that I haven’t felt in any other American city and didn’t realize I’d missed and craved. Tagalog translations were matter-of-factly included everywhere, from plaques to museum pamphlets, and even utility boxes in the streets reflected my background and first language. It was as if the entire city, institutionally, was telling me “We recognize the whole of who you are and you are welcome here,” and it shook me to my core. I’m sure Filipinos who actually live there can point out the ways the city falls short of its promise, but this was what I experienced emotionally, and I’ll always be grateful to SF for that.

Sun dropping behind a sandstone butte near Moab. That backlit edge where light wraps around the rock is the whole shot.

Another horizon worth chasing.

Visited the historic Northwest Railway Museum, built in 1890 and looked charming in Spring settings.
Snoqualmie, WA

#Washington #PNW #Spring #Cherryblossoms #Architecture #Vintage #Historic #Railway #ArtForSale #ArtPrints #WallArt #HomeDecor #GreetingCards #Puzzle #Gifts #Giftideas #FediGiftShop #Photography

The charming Northwest Railway Museum (NRM) built in 1890 is nestled under the blooming branches of a cherry blossom tree, with soft pink flowers contrasting against the rustic, vintage architecture in Snoqualmie, Washington.
It is the oldest continuously operating train station in the state of Washington and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
Today tourists can take the train from the Depot to the top of Snoqualmie Falls, then to North Bend and back. A new period-appropriate (and very ornate) cedar shingle roof was completed in 2024.

Edit: this Toot will get edited when new tags are shared.

A vintage-style sepia photograph, presented as if on a film strip with sprocket holes and artificial scratches, captures a concentrated moment. Cynni is crouching on natural, rocky terrain among sparse bushes at Burgers' Zoo, fully focused on framing a picture. They look intently through the viewfinder of a black Nikon Coolpix P500 digital bridge camera, which they hold firmly with both hands. Their expression is one of deep concentration as they peer through the lens. Their left arm, featuring a complex stylized text tattoo, is bent, and a few rings are visible on their fingers gripping the camera body. They wear a dark short-sleeved t-shirt, camouflage cargo pants, and a dark baseball cap with white sunglasses perched on top. A Nikon-branded camera strap hangs around their neck. The background is a natural-looking zoo enclosure with other blurred figures of visitors visible in the far distance. The composition is a candid, close-up shot emphasizing their focus.

Baudelaire's Mistress (Portrait of Jeanne Duval), 1862. By Manet.

Manet shows Jeanne Duval reclining on a green sofa or chaise lounge, wearing a voluminous white crinoline dress and holding a green fan. Her dark hair and direct gaze create a striking contrast with the white dress. The background features decorative wallpaper or fabric panels.

On this #FlashbackFriday look back at the historic solar storm of May 10th last year, a rare, magical alignment of Big Dipper with the dazzling Corona Borealis.

Prints&Things: https://ez-lorenz.pixels.com/featured/a-rare-magical-alignment-of-big-dipper-with-the-dazzling-corona-borealis-ez-lorenz.html

#Aurora #NorthernLights #Space #WaWx #Universe #Nature #Purple #Stars #ArtForSale #WallArt #Prints #ArtPrints #GreetingCards #HomeDecor #Gifts #Giftideas #FediGiftShop #Washington #PNW #Seattle #InteriorDecor #Photography #Mothersday

We were witnessing a historic, dazzling auroral display on May 10th, 2024 at Lake Sammamish in Redmond, Washington, where the Northern Lights captivated and mesmerized the onlookers with their vivid colors and fast moving formations.
The dancing ribbons of light surrounded, enveloped us with vibrant colors, sometimes radiating directly overhead where the Big Dipper’s seven bright stars aligned with the Coronae (Corona Borealis or crown), a rare event, indeed.
The Corona is the most impressive type of aurora, when rays or rayed bands pass overhead to converge to a point to form a crown or corona. So we looked overhead and the aurora rays appeared to originate from one single point and radiated outwards, in alignment with Big Dipper.
Words escape me to describe how mind-blowing was this otherworldly, once in a lifetime experience, to witness the vivid display of the aurora borealis as the lights filled the night sky with swirls of purple and blue hues.
The natural phenomenon created an ethereal atmosphere, conveying the beauty of Earth's geomagnetic interactions with solar particles.

This is the shape of birdsong. Because the bird is a Red-winged Blackbird, it's also the shape of swearing.

Smurfs Log: Lucky

* Not only was I lucky enough to see a stoat up close today (see previous post), but this afternoon I finally found some of those tiny, fluffy, woolly creatures other people have been spotting. This one was kind enough to bring her two little lambs with her, too.
