sis was in the right place at the right time, we got a swarm of bugs and she got a BUFFFET 👌 #Bugs #Bugstodon #Spider #Silhouette

a background of blue sky with wispy clouds, and in the foreground the silhouette of one spider and dozens of small gnat-sized bugs caught in an otherwise invisible web, with some overhanging apartment roof across the top

a lot of peeps been sharing some gorgeous fall colors, and still being 80% bedbound I feel like I've been missing some golden opportunities around this area, but did my best with some of the trees in my apartment complex showing off their fall goods #Bloomscrolling #Fall #FallColors #Trees

A magnificent rounded maple towering three stories tall, as seen from ground level; it is partially shaded on the left, and much of its lower and more interior leaves are still retaining their green, but the most sun-exposed ones on the top and outer edges are showing off a rich golden orange. A "warm" filter has been applied to the base image, accentuating the richness of the natural color spectrum.

in the corner of a local restaurant hangs a massive (2 foot square?) ornamental waffle-shaped chandelier covered in rhinestone-like glass tiles, complete with a pat of butter in the center, with the ubiquitous-today security camera hiding behind it

#ThrowbackThursday very old-timey find in a local costume thrift shop (all I ended up buying was a $5 hawaiian shirt) #Vintage #Retro #Radio

this thing looks like an absolute fossilized relic; it's a wonder power goes through it at all #Audio #Cable #MagicInTheMundane #Ordinary #MacroPhotography

a close-up of a bit of power cable near the sound mixer at a local open mic; it is THICK black plastic cable, tangled in a knot that seems to defy physics, and has spent so many years in that same position that layers of dust and cobweb have settled on it, and it is likely as unyielding as the metal bar it's wrapped around

the soundtrack I imagined when seeing this was Tomita's synth rendition of Debussy's Sunken Cathedral: youtu.be/Ods66QyRgko #ThickTrunkTuesday #MountainMonday #Trees #Fog #Forest #Fall #FallColors #NaturePhotography

a series of mountainside trees emerging from an all-encompassing fog, decorated in a small variety of fall colors

this pale blue dot is truly magical, and I will be sad when it's gone #SunsetSaturday #Sunset #SunsetPhotography #PNW

a typical Pac Northwest sunset, framed bt a brick building on the left, and the silhouette of some bushes & powerlines across the center, with a cloudy sky awash in lush fiery pink glow that's strong enough to light up the bay beneath

Charlie followed me a bit away from work yesterday, eager for some more nibbles 😅 I wish he'd be more trusting once food was on the ground and I was standing ~10 feet away, but I'm (slowly) working on that. (life update: physical accident so laying in bed all […] [Original post on meow.social]

a pure blue sky, with some very autumn-colored leafy tree branches jutting lower left to upper right, and tucked among them not very hidden at all, an expectant crow

I haven't shared much of my mewsical self in this space, which I know I need to rectify, it's just challenging because I tend to veer more toward the "live music" setting than "studio recording", but neat view of my instrument anyways :3 #Music #Vibes #Photography

a nearly monochrome and very aggressively "mechanical" view through the metal bars of a keyboard instrument (in this case a vibraphone), brightly lit beneath and offering fleeting glimpses of other parts if the instrument's mechanism, including resonator tubes

Charlie and his mate lined up and eagerly awaiting breakfast (dog kibble) #Birds #BirdsOfMastodon #Crow #Crows #StreetPhotography

a vertical view against a gray cloudy sky, up a turned-off parking lot street light, on which are perched the silhouette of two very eager crows, who reside at my workplace and who have learned that I'm always happy to feed them on my way inside

if I were younger, 100% I'd be climbing this to the highest point I could, just to get the full experience of all it has to offer 😊 but even from ground level, still magnificent ❤️ #ThickTrunkTuesday #Trees #NaturePhotography

a zoomed-out fisheye view from ground level of a (maple? big leaf) tree sprawling in every direction right to left, its upper canopy golden from the bright sun behind it

and a Much Less Monochrome Monday, the same dock, after the fog had cleared >^..^< #Ocean #Fog #Birds

the same dock as before, but with fog mostly cleared, and sky and the not-too-distant island hills visible behind a last sliver of fog, with gulls still perched on the dock's roof, now sunning themselves

a dock in fog yesterday, no filter added, was just how it was in the AM #MonochromeMonday #Fog #Ocean #Birds #Monochrome #BlackAndWhite

a black & white view of a dock jutting out into the ocean, its legs reflecting highly rippled in the water, and the background completely blanketed by fog; a line of seagulls perches on top, one on a pole towering above the others

no idea if original or not, but gorgeous lamp at local venue regardless #InteriorDecor #Lamp #ArtDeco #Glass #ArtGlass

a massive Art Deco style (and era?) hanging stained glass lamp, with beams radiating outward from the center alternating blues yellows & whites, and some checkerboard trimming around the edges; vaguely in the background is a blase pub with some tiny strings of christmas lights

RE: mastodon.social/@AbandonedAmerica/1… I know that what I share is being stolen and abused, and it's a tragedy that certainly gives justified cause for despair. All I can do is keep sharing joy and beauty despite that. I will not let them take that away from me, I have […]

more from lake at sunset, some hypnotic ripples, a bit low rez since I had to zoom in quite a bit and phone camera doesn't do great with zooms, but it did give a glimpse of the magic, like an animated pastel painting, and somewhat reminiscent of Studio Ghibli's […] [Original post on meow.social]

the swanniest squash I've ever seen, love it or hate it (my friend HATES swans with a fiery passion) #MagicInTheMundane #Squash #Pumpkin #Swan

A curious squash found in the "mini pumpkins" bargain bin at Local Grocery Store, orange with an extremely long neck wrapped back around toward the base shaped EXACTLY like a swan's neck, reinforced by a patch of dark green on the end for eyes, and a bit of stalk resembling a beak. I honestly felt pretty bad looking at the rest of the bin; it looked like the results of hundreds of failed genetic experiments, lots of tortured Frankenstein souls.

a belated #SilentSunday I forgot to post last night, I didn't have the time to do a full-on hike this weekend, but I was able to get to Local Lake(tm) for a quick sunset visit, figured I might try to sprinkle a few #Sunset s into the evenings, seems like an […] [Original post on meow.social]

a lake at not-quite-horizon sunset, the sun behind the clouds still soft gold, not yet the pink/orange of low horizon, framed by the silhouette of some surrounding leafy foliage from overhanging trees

love the way it nearly seamlessly blends into its surroundings (by design) #FootpathFriday #Bridge #NaturePhotography #Hiking #PNW

A somewhat cluttered view (as there was no one 'perfect' angle to capture the intent) of a short, maybe 15 feet long or so, stone bridge running over a creek filled with moss-covered stones, hiding behind some bushy trees, and blending in remarkably well with the shape & color of the boulders behind it. This bridge will be completely buried in ten feet of snow three months from now, and has been documented in that state before, but for now, it's here, comfortably adapted to its environment.

#MagicInTheMundane #Pattern #Patterns

$a plain ol' boring plastic water bottle sitting on a wooden post in someone's back yard trailer, but if you zoom in to full resolution, the lower half is filled with flowing curves of the bottle's shape that refract and warp the image of the surrounding scene, with a few tiny air bubbles, while the top portion is coated on the inside with condensation in a pattern that resembles frost$

my second favorite coworker after Charlie the Crow. I wasn't sure what to name him, so I solicited the advice of a friend who wisely suggested "Boney Tony" X3 #Skeleton

some neat looking power lines in my neighborhood, that made the five mile walk from where I dropped my car off at the repair shop to home, worth the walk instead of ubering #UrbanPhotography #StreetPhotography #Cityscape #Silhouette

a close-up of some berries in near silhouette, with some out-of-focus overhead power lines in the background on a cloudy day

a gray & cloud-filled sky interrupted by a metal spear running through the scene left to right, absolutely bristling with stop lights pointing in every direction

a single telephone pole serving as a somewhat central hub for dozens of lines running every which way from it, beneath a cloudy sky with the slightest hint of sunset near the bottom

a straight-overhead view of some horizontal power lines, including some sort of attachment whose specific function someone who knows more about these things than I do can probably immediately articulate, but that to a layman resembles a hockey mask, Jason Voorhees style

Lone Pine (which I just realized is the name of a town not far off from where I grew up, but that's not where this is) #ThickTrunkTuesday #Trees #SIlhouette #Hiking #Mountains #PNW

a vast expansive cloudy blue sky serves as the backdrop for the silhouette of a distinctively-shaped single alpine tree, some high branches jagged and scraped clean by melting glacier, others with a few leaves still clinging, but an ideal spot for bird nesting (though not right now, as near as I can tell)

an unexpected ecosystem, or maybe an urban whale fall, or maybe my morbid fascination with even garbage leads to #MagicInTheMundane moments not shared by many, but still equally intriguing to me as the nature scenes #UrbanPhotography #StreetPhotography #Garbage #Snails

A close-up of a discarded plastic Haggen's Deli Sandwich box on the street. The half-eaten sandwich is vaguely visible inside, and while likely in a state of rot, is thankfully obscured by the condensation on the inside of the lid. The predictable scouting crew of exploratory ants has made their appearance, but (most interestingly to me) a SNAIL on the outside as well!
