Photo Habit
Here are some photos I took at random over the past couple of weeks, both at home and on the road for work. As per usual, a disproportionate number of all the photos I took over that time period were of our dog, Jeannie, but I’ll spare you most of those — except for this…

Ye Olde Internet — I miss it
Strap in. This elder millennial is about to yell at some clouds. I’ve been feeling this for quite a while and pretty deeply in recent years — the idea that we’ve lost something magical about the “old” internet as we barrel towards a more AI corrupted dystopic enabled future. Who am I kidding? We’re already…

New McLids: I Don’t Like ‘Em
What is the purpose of a personal blog if not for ranting about inconsequential things that I find mildly annoying? I’ve noticed a change in the plastic lids that cover the drinks the past couple of times that I got takeout from McDonalds. They appear to be a combination of the two types of lids…

a walk in presque isle
In an effort to keep up a semi-regular photo habit, I went for a walk in Presque Isle yesterday. There’s not much particularly interesting in Presque Isle to photograph, however, I think that forcing myself to take photos of random things makes good practice. I went on a similar walk last year (Walking Around Presque…

a walk in caribou
I went for a walk the other day. Here is a sample of photos I took during my tour around town. I’m thinking of putting together a photo book to sell online with the full collection of photos.

A Tiny Visitor
I captured a few photos of a hummingbird having breakfast on our front porch this morning on my 50mm lens. OK. I captured a couple dozen photos of a couple different birds and picked the three best of the bunch (after editing them on my phone).

Random Photos
Nothing really to say today. Just uploading some random photos I’ve taken over the past week or so. Our road has been blocked off few a couple of weeks now while the town drains water out of a large pond by the road into the Aroostook River. I took my bike there one morning to…

You guessed it — more pictures of the dog
I’ve been sick for a few days and am finally feeling good enough to run around a bit with Jeannie in the back yard. Her eyes pop open the minute anyone begins to move in the direction of the front door, just waiting to hear that magic word: outside. We have a little path beside…

Roasted Chicken Thighs and Veggies
A few months ago, I had a blood test that revealed a hemoglobin A1c (blood glucose/sugar level over 90 days) value of just over 11. That’s a pretty bad number and meant I was diagnosed with diabetes. Bummer. In response to this, I decided it was time (or rather, my doctor decided it was time)…

Groundhogs in Trees
Yesterday I learned that groundhogs, which I do not normally see in trees, will climb a tree quick as lightning when chased by large predator, like Jeannie. This one had precious few seconds to decide where to flee as Jeannie came barreling towards it. It was about 25 feet or so up a tree in…
