That every time you have a macro shot of a tiny wildflower lined up a breeze comes along and makes you wait ten minutes.

I've been good lately, and birds have shown up on cue for sunsets, and great clouds today.

And a bluejay, normally a pain in the ass, posed for a photo today (thank goodness for GIMP, I cleaned up its pictorial mess). A very handsome bird.

I have less success with imgbb, which is suddenly shrinking my photos, so I am looking for a good (privacy-respecting?) host for show-off photos (so I can sell this rather picturesque property for lots of money) and also for the better ones, that I would like to sell for some income. It's not that I am greedy. After all, maybe I should get something back for the over 50 years of photography.

And the butler quit ( )
