Something that's been rattling around my head for awhile. Hope you enjoy it.

Comfort is…

The dry leaves crunched below the traveler’s feet. The clear autumn skies were a pleasant change from the damp spring and summer heat. 1/11
Streaks of sunlight on a curved woodland trail with tall trees of various yellow hues a small cemetery perched on a mossy embankment. Fallen leaves sat undisturbed, like a warm blanket. Ripples of sunlight illuminated the headstones. Some new, others a mere fragment. A lowly rusted wire fence was all that separated the living and the dead. 7 flat stones buried in the shadowed forest hill covered in dead leaves

Revisiting the INCEPTION private og commission… Chris Nolan’s marvelous film, and let’s face it, @hanszimmer ‘s absolutely essential narrative score, with a hefty dash of Francis Bacon’s homages, this portrait of a marriage is complete.

I'm not great at catching birds, got a few ok shots while in the Green Mountains.

This is a cool idea but what's the opposite of a destruction room where I can get extremely lost in very carefully setting up scenery since I don't have the $$$ to buy a million Lego sets or the space to do model trains.

If they can have “rage rooms” where break stuff with hammers, why can they have “kaiju rooms” where you gleefully stomp cardboard building and toy tanks and maybe where a rubber suit?

The Long Walk (2025)
Another (unfortunately relevant) story about the use of the desperately poor to entertain or motivate the public. Simple & direct, solidly paced, stand out performance by David Jonsson, & under 2 hrs. Recommended if you like depressing endings. #filmsky #moviesky 🎬 📽️ 🎥

At a distance, the world loses its rush —
and in that softness we hear ourselves more clearly.

A drone view of the dramatic coastline at Hvalnes in Southeast Iceland. Jagged, dark mountains rise steeply from the shore, their upper slopes wrapped in low, drifting clouds. Below, a calm lagoon with subtle ripples stretches across the frame, meeting a narrow strip of land and rocky beach. The monochrome tones emphasize the stark textures of the mountains and the quiet, remote atmosphere of the landscape.

Pencil drawing of Noxian Caitlyn from Arcane shown in two side-by-side portraits. Both versions have loose, dark hair framing their faces and bright, icy-blue eyes that stand out against the muted sketch tones. Red and blue colored pencils and two mechanical pencils are arranged above and below the artwork on a wooden table.

Soft Vigil

Sometimes, when I revisit old photos, one I’d initially dismissed stops me cold—and I think, “How did I miss that?” This image of a Great Egret (Ardea alba), framed through soft, out-of-focus foliage, is one of those. What once seemed like visual clutter now feels intentional.
"In this soft, painterly image, a Great Egret (Ardea alba) stands poised in shallow water, its slender white form reflected almost perfectly on the rippling surface below. The egret’s body is elongated and elegant, with a graceful S-curve to its neck and a dagger-like yellow bill pointing forward in quiet readiness. Its plumage is pristine—white as fresh linen—and glows subtly in the ambient light, as if brushed with moonlight. The water around it is calm but textured, catching faint ripples that distort the reflection just enough to suggest movement. Foreground foliage—blurred greens and purples—frames the scene like a watercolor wash, softening the edges and adding depth without distraction. The egret is centered, both physically and spiritually, a solitary figure in a tranquil world. Its posture is meditative, almost ceremonial, as if it’s not merely standing but bearing witness to the stillness. The overall tone is hushed and reverent, like a moment suspended in time." - Microsoft Copilot

Silo s2 was good. Not quite as dynamic as s1, but that's a tendancy w mystery series. Strong performances from Ferguson, Robbins, Moodie, & more. Power struggles & character shifts felt natural, parallel silo story was a great way to dole out the why's & how's. Recommended watch #tvsky #scifi 📺

Home with back issues so I'm finally watching Silo season 2.

I loved season 1, great acting, story, and setting. Rebecca Ferguson is phenomenal. High hopes for season 2.
