    Well this reliance on my phone for photos leaves me only looking at Google Photos for each day. But there are days where I bring out my DSLR – those pics are in Smugmug and not Google Photos.. so I kinda forget. Anyway, here’s a better pick for May 11, over Bent Knife.

    Nope, its Refraction. And I didn’t know that. I read this post about it. Also spotted a typo so had to read another article to make sure its not bologna. Double confirmed!

    It started with a sunset

    And a really nice one, the kind where you pull the car over, jump out and take a poorly composed shot. Which, in the end wasn’t so bad. Then later.. the NORTHERN LIGHTS. A huge solar storm brings a bucket list item to my own doorstep. No complaints. Now, I admit none of these wild…

    Last year we received a very nice potted arrangement of pansies from a neighbor. It was left to its own devices and now there are some tiny little pansies popping up around the patio.

    The tulips thrived this Spring. Maybe weather, maybe me slightly losing my marbles and spraying that rotten egg spray daily to keep the rodents away. Or both!

    A new and very ugly rust spot on the Explorer.. the door seal no longer has anything the clip into. Time is ticking. Imara’s not happy about it either:

    May the 4th

    Minor league baseball game day at Polar Park in Worcester. They actually had some well dressed Star Wars characters roaming around – I somehow couldn’t get a photo. For a real treat though, they invited fans onto the field after the game. I still can’t get over the grass – even walking on it I…

    Slice time

    There is a distinct pleasure in running veggies through a mandolin. The speed, ease, and perfect cuts.. really neat. And treading that fine line of “too close” to “that was part of my finger” adds a little thrill! No fingers were sacrificed in this round.. I don’t think. The rest of this meal – Honestly…

    And to really emphasize the double rainbow here: I applied the “luminous” effect in Google Photos.

    What a dramatic flower name – but it does describe them pretty well.
