If we didn’t have fancy aerodynamic bumpers, I’d think about getting a tray-style one. If it didn’t require driving a firetruck to have such useful styling.
I’m guessing special nozzle?
Of course, if I had to fight fires to get such a bumper, well, I’d probably be sent out west right away. Way too impossible.

Is this moldy fungi? I don’t remember seeing this combo before….
Okay, portrait mode here…HAD to do it as the flower was standing away from vegetation/visual distractions, all by its lonesome: perfect for the stage-light option.

I tried for an artsy photo with light rays caused by the lens (I think). Turns out I had something—probably hand cream: oops—smudged on the lens for an additional muted effect (that I don’t like).

Pro-tomato, anti-squirrel cage technology.
I still see this and have to translate from Bureau of Land Management to…#BLM.
Hosta bloom portrait. Moderately successful.

I looked for the logo on this one: Alfa Romeo.
However, I saw this one first…and was so spellbound (ha!) by the flat that I didn’t look for the manufacturer’s emblem. I assumed it was a Fiat (in my general automotive cluelessness) until I saw the above vehicle…now I’m thinking Alfa.
Okay, you’re not getting away with out a flower-eye-candy.

This appeared overnight; I think someone visited a plant nursery.
I experimented with automatic color correction for kicks…ick…turned very blue. Double ick.
I’m admiring the linear spirals of dark pink in the centers of these lovelies. No color correction needed!
The new green growth is pretty darned yellow. Did not try color-correcting with this one…once is enough.

Not frosty cold, but we had frost, one of those temperature magic things. This leaf was in a meadow in deep shade at 10:30am. Whew. Still: pretty out.
Here’s trail maintenance by park visitors.
First stop and, for us, the first time: Dick’s for burgers. Mmm. This local chain dates back to the 50s and you order just what’s on the menu, no extra lettuce or animal style.
Then, off to a computer museum that specializes in artifacts, that is old machines that are kept operational.
The Guru calls this 200 MEGAbyte storage unit a chocolate cake. Cost, hmm was it? thousands? Hideously expensive.

Cold snap here…this made me think of our Santa Fé weather rock….
This, however, is all Atlanta…not a bit of Santa Fé.
Narrator comment: Me, I wouldn’t park in that spot.

I’m skipping mention of the Big Doin’s going on in WashDC, and instead focusing on…small. And local.
These two blooms are from intertwined bushes. Do you see the different shades of pink? I wondered if the camera/iPhone would capture them. Conclusion: pink subtleties—capturable.
For thoughts on the Big Doin’s, visit The Guru’s comments in his resuscitated blog here.

Oh, the title? Something I saw on an ancient IBM screen during the latest season of “Mr. Robot.” [Backstory: we binged through “Mrs. Maisel” like there was no tomorrow, and now we’re enjoying a totally different genre.]
Meanwhile…we missed boxing activities…and boxes. Yay British traditions.
