My first sumi-e picture. I think learning ink control is going to be harder than learning brush control, though the two are very much tied to each other.

And I really need to practice my signature 😬

A sumi-e picture. On the left there is a heron standing in the water. On the right and further back in the frame is a simple pagoda standing on the water's edge.

Taking my sweet, sweet time... 📸 #GhostOfYotei #VirtualPhotography
Atsu is standing on a cliff overlooking the ocean. A sunbreak is shining through a gap in the clouds onto the water. Mount Yotei bathed in dawn light. A river and trees fill the midground, and rocks frame either side of the foreground. Atsu stands on a grass-covered plain gazing over a river as the sun rises in the distance. Atsu is standing next to a tree. Light and shadow play across her body and the tree trunk.

Gonna take forever to finish this game because I keep stopping to take photos #GhostOfYotei #VirtualPhotography
Atsu is standing beneath a ginkgo tree, with rays of light surrounding her. Atsu is standing facing Mt Yotei. A black fox sits to her left. The sky is stormy and red leaves flutter through the air. Atsu is sitting on her horse, backlit by the sun. Long grass fills the foreground and Mt Yotei looms in the background. Atsu is galloping on her horse through white flowers. She is surrounded by wild horses.

🎮 Happy National Videos Game Day to all who celebrate!

As someone who both plays games and works in the gaming industry, I get to see and enjoy both sides of the coin.

Games are how I met my amazing wife and how I ended up doing a job I adore. 🎮

Thus Begins Another Day

#NoMansSky #NintendoSwitch #Switch2
A screenshot from the Switch 2 edition of No Man's Sky. It is dawn. The upper half of the image is sky, with the rising sun in the centre. The sky is a very pale blue, with a few light clouds scattered around. A lone, large bird flies in the upper left corner. The player's ship sits below the bird, its nose pointed toward the rising sun. The lower half of the image is ground. A flat, brown earth sparsely covered by orange and green tufts of grass. A rift divides the earth across the width of the image. The player character is close to the camera in the lower-right corner. They have their back to the camera and are standing at the edge of the rift facing the rising sun. The player character is wearing a hood and cape, and is holding a staff in their left hand.

Ludatsi, a golden-shaded British shorthair cat, is sitting on a brown sofa and looking up and to the left. Her right paw is lifted slightly and spread out, displaying her claws.

Working somewhere that has a café with a pizza oven is both awesome and very dangerous...

As above, so below.

#NoMansSky #Switch2 #NintendoSwitch
A panoramic screenshot taken in the Nintendo Switch 2 edition of No Man's Sky. It is nighttime, a dark moon is in the upper-left corner, and there are some clouds in the sky. The rings of the planet arc across the top half of the image, and are being reflected in a large body of water in the lower half. The player character is standing toward the lower-right corner on a strip of land that runs along the lower edge of the image.

After a long hiatus I recently picked up ACNH again and set about some island and home renovations.

Everything is finally finished and I'm stoked with how it all turned out 🤗 A fresh dream was dreamt last night.

Australian bacon is excellent as well. Similar to Canadian bacon - you get a nice big meaty eye piece plus a meat and fat tail, not just a thin strip of 95% fat like American bacon.

Cool meteorological event: [going to happen]

WA state weather: "LOL. No."
A six panel comic by The Oatmeal. The panels show an alert for a meteor shower followed by cloudy skies, and alert for a lunar eclipse followed by cloudy skies, and an alert for incredibly rare clouds followed by clear skies.

This is Ludatsi. She is a golden-shaded British shorthair, she is adorable, and she knows it.

A photograph of a golden-shaded British shorthair cat laying on her right side in a shoe box. Her mouth is wide open, and her whiskers are curled forward. Her green eyes are wide, and she could almost be saying "No! This is my bad side!" to the photographer.
