Photography, gaming, reading, writing, and whatever else I might feel like.
2025 was hard, and I know that was true for a lot of folks. It was hard to enjoy things, and even when I did I felt guilty about sharing those things. It looks like 2026 is also going to be tough, but I want to try and get back to finding and sharing joy regardless of what form that takes.

RE: The MtG repost. (they don't allow quote reposts)
I wanted to support our LGS so did purchases there without checking the MSRP on the non-collector Commander decks first. They charged us $115 each for the two we grabbed so it's not just online folks. Check your prices before you buy.

I saw oomf say they got something "for a steal" but paid way more than they needed to for the FF x MTG starter kit 😭 so I made these quick infographics so people new to MTG (like me!) interested in the FF collab can stay informed and don't pay more than they need to!

I recently turned 45. For my birthday we went to a new (to us) park on Lake Ontario. I didn't see as many birds as I was hoping, but this chipmunk let us hang around during snack time.

My son actually called out this shot to me when I'd been looking the other way on one of our evening walks. The sunsets at this small park near our home are always lovely.

This Chipping Sparrow knew just how much I wanted to catch a photo of a bird among the flowers this spring and kindly helped out.

This Magnolia Warbler was much more interested in playing hide and seek than in posing nicely for me last night, but I'll take a new bird on the life list either way. He's quite a dapper gentleman.

It's been a year since I picked up hobby photography so I'm sharing some of my favorites. They aren't necessarily the "best" but ones that I've enjoyed for a variety of reasons.

Red-wing Blackbirds are some of the first birds I photographed. They're very common here.

Ducks for today. Most of what I see here are Mallards, hoping to spot other types this year.

Today is some Common Grackles. One was taken last June, the others earlier this month.

Yesterday I saw a wild swan for the first time. Yesterday I learned it is very hard to photograph a white bird in full sun. I also learned there is something Canadian Geese are afraid of.

This Palm Warbler was kind enough to hold still for just a moment after flitting around us in several trees for quite a while. These birds only travel through my area in the spring and fall, so it was a nice surprise to catch sight of this one.

Went out over the past weekend with my sister to visit several indie bookstores in the area. Came home with too many books, so of course all my library holds are ready now. Finished reading The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods today. Wasn't exactly what I'd expected, but I did enjoy it quite a bit. 💙📚

A Song Sparrow caught while we were out walking the other day. This shot is certainly among my favorites I've taken over this past year since getting started with hobby photography. Love the colors here.

There are a lot of people trying to convince white women that a descent into fascism will be good for them, especially if they’re in close proximity to powerful white men.

But the opposite is true. The white patriarchal family is a space of violence.

Yesterday was finally nice enough to take a walk while also being sunny enough for photos. Getting outside felt great. I took more photos, but this is the "Oh look, geese!" edition this time.

Yesterday I learned that it's tough to take photos while it's snowing, but I think these came out okay. A couple Northern Cardinals have been visiting my backyard recently. I think they're trying to tell me it's about time to get out there and get feeders installed. #birds #photography

If you want to help disabled people fight New York's proposed mask ban... wear a mask.

If more people would mask up in solidarity, these important accessibility tools would be harder to ban.

Help us normalize masking and protect your health in the process!

The sun is shining and it's very warm for Western NY in March so of course today is my first day working post surgery. Absolutely planning to try and get outside for a little as soon as I'm done though, even if I'm self conscious about the healing incision on my neck. I'll dig up a scarf to wear. 🌞

Surgery recovery is going well, though I'm not exactly out and about just yet. Luckily we had a hint of spring recently and I was able to catch this sparrow having a bath in a puddle created by all the melting snow from my dining room window. #photography #birds
