It’s about the…

…spider. Duh. Secondarily: the sparkles in the web.
…potted plant. Secondarily: the geometric pillows.
…riotous autumnal shapes.
Musings
Homeward (no angel)
Sunday, 13 October 2019
Proof that we’re southbound. Also, proof that it was sunny early on.
We drove into rain, and never out. Some stretches had incipient rain, but the perception was that rain would restart any moment.
We made the NC transportation museum our big stop. It’s centered on a roundhouse, but I even saw a dugout canoe and motorcycles. My digital dictionary indicates cow-catcher is hyphenated; coulda fooled me.
Wagon hub. Looks like a fancy locking pin.
Have no idea why forty men and eight horses.
Dusty, chrome-laden car.
Aha! Stone Mountain.
Aha! Atlanta traffique.
Please stand by

Probably should have used this yesterday with my discussion about textiles. Only this is with cotton or something mimicking cotton.
Almost COLD this morning. Almost autumnal. Yay!
Haven’t heard a prediction on this, but I’m assuming we’ll get some rain here in Big-A-town from the spinning bands generated by the coming storm…Monday? Tuesday?
Techno-missions
Tuesday, 6 August 2019
Among assorted post-trip photo-processing chores, I added selected images to our “screen-saver” collection. Great fun! And we can play the collection…anywhere.
The Guru does the complicated stuff, like geolocating images from the camera that does not support texting or phone calls; that takes real time and know-how!
Variations in white and green
Thursday, 18 July 2019
I am possibly too fascinated by the patterns I see in nature, especially in plants.
First big magnolia blossom I’ve noticed this year.
White and green is not a reference to MooU. It just looks like it might be.
Scent hypothesis
Monday, 17 June 2019
Not far from the house I helloed with a fellow who was walking his dog. I don’t remember him or the dog, so perhaps we haven’t crossed paths before. He smelled strongly of patchouli and the dog was something like a black standard poodle. I kept going and turned the corner, and finally the patchouli scent faded.
Later, I walked in the street past a parked pickup, windows closed, as no sidewalks on that street; I couldn’t tell for sure, but wondered if it had been there all night. I caught the scent of pipe tobacco, or the sweet tobacco smell some of it has, as I passed the driver’s door. But only near the door.
My question: do smells linger longer in super-humid air?
If I had to do captions, I’d start with something along the lines of “backlit redbud leaves,” “rampant polebeans (auto-correct changed that to plebeians, harhar),” and non-chemical weed-killer (except it is made from petroleum chemicals, I recall).
Unexpected science
Monday, 13 May 2019
After the rain stops, insects get busy. I think of this as an anthill, but that’s a large passage for a typical ant. Ah, the rain has changed the ants, and now they’re mega-ants! 😃
This was unexpected…you can’t tell, but the reflection on this first-floor wall is from a window in the upper story of the opposite building. I guess the angles work, but on first glance I didn’t intuit that the window-ghost would be projected at a downward angle.
Or, if you prefer Bill Nye science, check out the latest John Oliver….
Public art. Plus.

Public art one: red bird, airborne.
White bird: tethered.
I like the red one better; seems “free”er and less contrived. My imagination, perhaps.
“License plate” on rental electric moped. The second letter…you’re meant to see “U” not “O.” I see the intent, but it’s an “O” to me. The rest is…tacky. At best.
Friday Friday!

Friday theme/goal, ¿no? Create energy! Bang a drum!
And some visual symmetry. Just ’cause.
Observations: street, sidewalk, playground

Detritus/graffiti from the Sunday footrace…
Broken sidewalk slope zone…will return to discover what it’s been converted into.
Color and shapes…I’m regressing. Or retro.
