At the 4th of July parade Cedarburg WI

Playing with iA Presenter. So far it seems nice, but it needs better editor bits. Find myself dropping into BBEdit to fix things.

Heading over to eastern WI today for our July 4th pancake breakfast with Ann’s family. Could get interesting.

I found MarsEdit + TextExpander to be super helpful for June photo challenge, but simple posts like this are best done right on the web.

About to head to the gym for my weekly torture session with my trainer. He attempts to slow down my descent into decrepitude.

It’s the last day of June and I have managed to complete the photo challenge for the first time. I’m going to try to follow @miraz’s example and post a little something every day. It’ll be my Day One replacement.

Micro.blog photo challenge Day 29: winding #mbjune

Window art with spheres and a helix.

I found this window art with spheres and a helix during a nighttime photo walk in Rochester last winter.

Finally using my photo printer occasionally and using a magnetic glassboard to post the prints. The idea is to change them often.

Micro.blog photo challenge Day 27: collective #mbjune

A solitary bee on a flower

I’m not an expert on bee identification but if this is a hive bee (instead of a solitary bee) it is gathering food for its collective.

Reconsidering my whole idea of photo posting. I’ve settled on 4 spots: Lightroom Web Albums for events (mostly family and friends), SmugMug for art, Instagram for audience, Micro.blog for blogging fun. Could be some cross-posting and definitely some reorg. Goodbye Flickr.
