I do enjoy the “regular” redbuds very much, yet I also always look for the few white redbuds that are scattered in this neighborhood.

This is the first summer “insect” picture, in which I take a flower picture, then find when I look closely at the photo that I also made a bug-portrait.

Penultimate 2023–2024 winter sunset…sometimes it’s worth it to look backwards.

Early this evening I looked out the window and was awash in the feeling that I could tell the days were longer. Then I thought about it. Nope; well, a little. Mostly, I was noticing the apparent longer days from the time change.

Springtime brings petal drifts. That they are short-lived is part of their attraction.

I don’t…know the time, that is. I can easily read a clock, but my body is confused. We do this twice a year…why?

Title acronym refers to “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?,” Chicago, 1969.

Rainy now, but earlier it wasn’t raining and a crew put a fence up on the edge of our backyard…the neighbors’ project. I’m glad to have the fence; they won’t be looking in our windows any more…yay!

?!x&@# parking garages…and the people who don’t know how to negotiate them. Note: I’m fine now.

We early voted and I got freebies! Of course, I got my peach, but our voting location is in the back of our library, and the path dumps you in the library after you put your vote in the machine. Last time I was vote 523. This time I was 526. Weird. Anyway, if I told the librarian at the help station your “favorite” Dune 2 character, I got a free tote bag. Wow! Anyway, that’s the “E” at the end of Dune on my new tote!

Murky weather today. I was busy all day, yet all I can think that I accomplished is that I got the upstairs floor washed.

I looked for a name for this, thinking it might be a labelled artwork. Apparently not. I might title it “broken circles.” On the other hand, it may well be a common form from a context I’m unfamiliar with.
