Been hard pressed to find anything to prove that I actually exist in quite some time, but the other day Angus was playing with a foam corner that made him look like he was pretending to be a vampire. When I tried to get a picture he spit it out quickly and then looked embarrassed.

Looking at old phone pictures from Disneyland and had forgot about this one.
I saw this sitting out unattended near where some work was going on. It just raises so many questions

I found some random hardware in the parking lot and some of it fit together nicely. I think it looks a little like a thic flying insect.

Angus just chilling in the animal ER in his carrier after a night of mysteriously vomiting blood all over the house. Now that we’ve checked in and the tab is running he’s all chill and happy just watching the other pets go by.

It warms my heart every now and then to see a respectable little bird reach out to the pidgin community to just kind of say, “hey, we see you”

Up at 4:45 a.m. Drove a couple hours to be at a spot for the full eclipse and then drove back home. Nice little excursion that wiped me out more than I expected, but I did get a couple pics.

You can’t think like that, you made something out of dirt that has real lasting power. Now make more and see how much better you can do. Compare your work to the work you’ve done in the past and not to work other people are making. This is coming from someone who was a self-critical beginner.

It’s like therapy for me and it’s nice to have something physical around as the result of the therapy :)

Took a picture at lunch of the first real colors on the mountain. In the 80’s the colors were always changing a month earlier and meant I’d have to go back to school soon. My anecdotal evidence of climate change.

The first time I’ve noticed what must be the new ugly Utah state flag. A state full of artists and this is the schlock we get.

Poor Gus, he likes to have his chin rubbed, but once I get started he decides he wants his back rubbed, so he rolls over. He spins and rolls never getting more than a few seconds in each spot. But heaven help us if I decide two hands might be more efficient.
