Happy Labor Day!
Because I am not in a labor union, I have to work today. The good news is, the 4″ standing dragons will be restocked this week, at least in this color range (except for Gritty Dragon, he’s just photobombing). The bad news is, my machine is getting its scheduled tuneup so the 3″ babies and […]

The disadvantage of the light box…
… is that it has a “horizon.” And I can’t take a straight picture to save my life. (Yes, I have the on-screen grid turned on. No, apparently I can’t remember to check it.)

Farmers market flowers
A local farmers market has made do in these Trying Times by ordering online and then holding a pickup time where customers drive through and get their stuff contactlessly. (Is that a word?

Wren update
Mostly this is a test to make sure I have the Facebook/Instagram connection correctly connected. But it’s also a fuzzy update on the Carolina Wren babies, since I emptied and refilled the bird bath today and took some blind pictures (this is the best). Their eyes are open, so I’m extra careful about not showing […]

Wren update
The adult wrens weren’t around when I went to refill the bird bath yesterday, but they’d been hauling bugs all morning so I knew there were hatchlings. I risked sneaking up, sticking the phone to the opening and clicking blindly and sure enough, there they were. I’m trying not to let them get too acclimated […]
