Top 1,000. This should come as a surprise to no one.
An image from my Apple Music Replay ’25 indicating that I am in the top 1,000 listeners of the Indigo Girls. There is a photo of Amy Ray and Emily Saliers in the middle of the image.

A foggy morning.
A sidewalk along a bay before dawn in the fog. A concrete balustrade and bench facing a fog-covered bay. A single boat makes its way through the morning fog.

The fortune cookie told me so. #simpsons

Bayshore, sunrise.
An orange and blue sky pre-dawn sky over a body of water, as seen through several tall palm trees. A bird flies across the water as the sun rises. A bird (and its reflection), on a smooth body of water, around sunrise.

Linus, channeling Martha Stewart: “I want to focus on my rubber ball.”

Another golden morning in Tampa.
A silhouette of a fisherman holding a fishing rod on a pier. It is sunrise. The sky behind him is orange. The clouds are gray with an orange tint. The water is choppy steel. An abandoned pier at sunrise. The sky is orange. The sun is bright yellow. The clouds are gray with an orange tint. The water is choppy steel.

Bayshore just before sunrise.
A photo of a large tree, a road, a walkway with a balustrade, a steely body of water, and a faint orange glow over the horizon.

It takes several minutes for the light of the sun to reach the earth, but just a few seconds to take a photo and post it.
The sun rises over the horizon over a bay.

A happy accident! I moved my camera while taking a long exposure photo. This is downtown Tampa before sunrise as seen from Bayshore.
A photo of a colorful, lit-up city skyline before sunrise. There are vertical streaks in the picture because the photographer didn't hold the camera steady while taking a long-exposure photo.

If there’s a better place to see a film than the Tampa Theatre, I haven’t been there.

No one has.

There is no better place to see a film than here.

Toto, I have a feeling we’re not on Bayshore anymore. Good morning from Charleston.
A large pineapple-shaped fountain in a park just before dawn. A silhouette of a man leaning on a railing and watching the sunrise. A boat at sunrise. Water jets, part of a fountain, at sunrise.

I call this photo "I shoulda checked the rain forecast before heading to Bayshore this morning."

More early morning sights on Bayshore: Jupiter and Venus in the sky before dawn, and the first streaks of sunlight.
The night sky with Jupiter and Venus (as small dots). Crepuscular rays over the water just before sunrise.
