Where I live, there aren't that many brightly colored subjects. But when they appear, it's a welcome opportunity to shoot Ektachrome.

There have been messages on social media that have quoted from Pope Francis's letter of yesterday (February 10). I went and looked up the original (in English translation), and I believe it's worth reading and sharing. A link is attached.

There are certain ads the Facebook algorithm assigns me because of demographics (which are seriously misleading in my case). This one, for example ... I commented, "Just the thing for setting fire to mosques, synagogues, temples, and witches, right?" I hope they recognize contempt when they see it.

Today the Society for Technical Communication, a professional organization for technical writers, filed Chapter 7 (absolute) bankruptcy. I had been a member for 28 years.
This is a sad day.
Last October I dutifully paid my STC dues, so I'm a senior member in good standing ... of what, I don't know.

I like photographing Mount Si (its real-world name) for many reasons, but was there today for a special reason. IYKYK.

States in the USA adopt official nicknames. Washington State, where I live, is the Evergreen State, but there was once an effort to change that to the Christmas State. Why? Holly grows very well here.

I've been on Bluesky for 3 or 4 hours now. Most of that time has been spent blocking accounts for spamming me with AI-generated landscape photos, some of which are fraudulently put forth as photos of specific real places on Earth. That happened fast.
