I can't quite decide which angle shows off my "compost flower" best. (This happened completely accidentally a year or so ago when I worked in a farm-to-fork restaurant that composted everything, or fed it to the pigs and then used the pig manure as compost, or something.)

A compost bucket with a head-on view of an eggshell impaled on a stalk of green (a cilantro stem if I remember correctly) with a few eggshells and half a dozen cilantro stems in the background.

This dude and headline have been the landing image of the NHL app for awhile now and I keep thinking either he’s a great golfer or they call him “Shaggy.”

A scruffy looking hockey player walking into what seems to be the Boston Bruins player entrance wearing a droopy white tee shirt and a grey cardigan. He’s carrying a disposable cup of what could be a Dunkin Donuts iced coffee drink. The headline says “Players vote for best nickname, style, golfer in 2025-26 NHLPA [National Hockey League Players Association] ] poll.”

I'll give you three guesses who scored on this play and the first two don't count. If you need a hint, you probably don't watch much hockey, but if you want one anyway, I think the ALT text kinda gives it away. #iceHockey #NHL

Two ice hockey players wearing white near the net of the team wearing green. There are three players in green, including the goalie, and all are looking directly at the puck which is one the stick of the player in white directly in front of the goal. The other player in white is behind one of the green skaters, who is clearly paying no attention to him.

Did a (very little) bit of photo editing today. Time consuming but good for my soul. (Anyone who has ideas on how I can make it good for my pocketbook, too, I'm all ears.)

An image of a portion of a very large rock formation as seen through a fairly large hole in another rock formation. The foreground formation (the one with the hole) is out of focus and the background one is in focus. Colors are muted and primarily amber shades of beige, greys and blacks, with a tiny bit of green to the right of the background rock formation. The largest part of the hole in the foreground rock is shaped a bit like the upper peninsula of Michigan if viewed with the South shore at the top. To the left of that opening is a vertical mostly-rectangular opening.

A still living ponderosa pine tree leaning against other ponderosa pines. Some of the other trunks appear to belong to dead trees. The leaning tree is more vibrant in typical ponderosa coloring, a warm, almost red shade of brown. Foliage in the foreground is green.

Oh, this is too good not to post. I saw it on reddit with the caption "Congratulations ladies. Now get in the back" www.reddit.com/r/facepalm/comments/…

A picture of what seems to be a Women's Tennis team from Georgia (the state would be my guess) standing behind a line of 6 men with President Trump standing in the middle and on an elevated platform from the other men such that his head is at the same height as the tennis players. He is in front of and directly in the middle of the tennis players, thus making the picture's focus much more about him than the people he is allegedly honoring. Margo Martin with the handle @MargoMartin47 has posted this picture on another social media site with the words "Congratulations, Georgia Women's Tennis!" and an American Flag emoji.

OK, my mom just gave me a gift idea for my dad and this advertising for a towel with the slogan was even funnier than the aphorism.

A beach towel with the slogan "Built in the Forties. Original & Unrestored. Some parts still in working order." The towel is being held by a woman (possibly AI generated) facing away from the camera, seemingly wearing a bikini and covering her mid-back to her knees with the towel. The woman looks to have been born in the 21st century.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are walking. Blue listens intently as Green goes on talking as he talks, leading the way. Green: Once we get home, I'll read a book, weave two baskets, re-arrange the pantry, learn esperanto- Blue interrupts Green, who turns to listen. Blue: That's quite a list. Are you sure you're being completely realistic? Green takes a momentary pause from being cartoonish, being now depicted as a painstakingly detailed and shaded painting of a fox, with fur texture, whiskers and all. Extremely realistic Green: Of course. Returning back to normal, Green keeps walking. Blue follows, looking at Green with suspicion. Blue: How long did it take you to draw that gag? Green: A lot longer than I am willing to admit.
