Out peacefully hiking this morning and ran across this beautiful guy at 06:30 just waiting for me to take his picture.

Near the very end of a perfect hike, this beautiful heron flew right over my head and landed on this hillside full of flowers. A perfect morning definitely.

(this was right after seeing the buck I posted a picture of yesterday.)

So all my time has been eaten up by making 8th-grade me happy by writing a game (Steam page live! woot!), but this has left far too little time for photography. Until I saw this beautiful guy today. Then my camera came out rapidly.

This very old image of mine came across my screensaver and triggered a whole new idea for a Level 2 Arcanum Sphere to run! I'm so excited!

Oh... wait...

Current-me hopes to finally make 8th-grade me proud. Though current-me has no idea what he was thinking by "advanced" in this context.

Current-me has not gotten much photography done, though I may have snuck a few photos into my game :-)
