foggy Ohio River.
Light fog over the Ohio River, on either side of the river is a small hilly landscape slightly obscured by the fog.

Second loaf ever, spiced things up a bit with a different recipe. I remembered to add steam this time. Also, I made a sourdough start– wish it luck.

The view from my window on this cozy #fall morning in #Pennsylvania 🍂
A view out of a window showing a one way road leading out towards a hillside and a colorful forest full of trees of green, yellow, orange and red hues. A rose bush frames the image in the foreground, and to the left is the side of a porch with an empty hanging planter.

Piebald pigeons in Pittsburgh.

A cool fact I learned recently is that pigeons aren't wild, they're feral and they come in a variety of colors due to years of domestication.
Two colorful pigeons sit on a electrical transformer, a skyscraper in the background and a green leaf in the upper right corner A zoomed out version of the previous image, this time showing four pigeons, the two additional ones on the overpass traffic sign structure.

good morning to everyone, especially this little guy 🐿️
A squirrel peeks out over a gutter on the side of a red brick house. A streak of sunlight illuminates his face. A second photo of the squirrel peeking over the gutter of a red brick house. This time his head is turned to the side, the sun still illuminating the side of his face.

The first time I ever captured a picture of lightning, when I was about 15. 🌩️ #wx
Three small streaks of faint pink lightning glow over a gloomy Pennsylvania hillscape. A photo of a bright streak of lightning connecting to a distant hillside across a valley. The sky is overcast and gloomy, a small white house sits in the bottom right corner overlooking the valley. Four branches of bright lightning in the sky above green tree canopies. Rainy overcast hillscapes in the background are just barely visible through the thick precipitation.

some #moon pics I took with my phone last month. I'm learning how to use the camera's pro mode purely through trial and error.. just playing with the settings to see different results. 🌝

(9.17.24)
A photo of the moon, partially obscured by clouds yet illuminating them still. It appears as a blue glow with a yellow glow around it, and dark silhouettes of clouds in front of it. The canopies of two trees frame the photo on each side, the left being slightly large and further reaching into the focus of the photo. Another photo of the moon, this time only a black background and the blurry glow of the moon shining behind black and charcoal layers of clouds. A third photo of the moon, this time without any clouds to obscure or refract the glow. It is an ivory shade with its shadowy craters clearly visible (albeit a bit blurry) set against a solid black background.
