Ok, so I did this on my iPhone. I have been playing the I love Hue Too game lately for what it’s worth. 😬 What's My JND? 0.0018 Can you beat it? www.keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd...

Your AEoK JND

Either you have superhuman cone cells or you got very lucky. I'm going with lucky. This is absurdly below the theoretical JND. Your monitor is doing something weird. Or both.

An open book the following on the page:

Don't Hesitate
by Mary Oliver

If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don't hesitate. Give in to it. There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be. We are not wise, and not very often kind. And much can never be redeemed.
Still, life has some possibility left. Perhaps this is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something happens better than all the riches or power in the world. It could be anything, but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins. Anyway, that's often the case. Anyway, whatever it is, don't be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.

Thank you once again for the reminders! And in appreciation of Max and sharing photos of good dogs, here is Izzy aka the Wizard (my pup) and her “cousin” Nic. Izzy of course is beautifully oblivious to our human problems, and while Nic seems concerned, he’s kind of like that all the time.

Two dogs sitting on a red floral patterned blanket covering a couch. The larger, a female chocolate lab with her head turned to the left and paws curled over the edge of the couch, appears to be sleeping; the smaller dog, a golden brown looking left with head raised and stacked white paws out in front, is squished between the chocolate lab and the arm of the couch.

Izzy aka the Wizard is the chocolate’s name and Nic is a Feist.

Dancing Bear - Guerschon Yabusele

From the gold medal men’s basketball game of the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics: Guerschon Yabusele in France white uniform reaches out with the basketball, which is just above the rim, to dunk it, while Lebron James, in USA dark blue uniform and far below Yabusele, is falling to the ground.

Live look at Bill Russell. #celtics

Thank you, thank you…I’m literally (not) 😭. Tap and all (of your image) will be revealed.

Izzy the chocolate lab, front paws bent and held high while contorted on her back, is lying on her beige and brown pillow bed. Showing off her mad sleeping skills. Yes, I’m jealous.

An antlion randomly fell onto me just as I had turned out the lights to sleep, ‘cept I thought it was a crane fly. 2 days later/last night, apparently after a sojourn in the kitchen bread box, it flew into my room as I was exiting. I said, wait a sec…that’s not a…after a brief chase, antlion in cup.

A grey Antlion rests on a flattened cardboard box (which says, Trusted since 1945, at the upper left), under a (partially visible) plastic cup.

It’s lunch time: a black swallowtail caterpillar (Papilio polyxenes) munching on some parsley. Which makes me think of taboolii…mmm.,.

A green caterpillar with yellow and black spots rests vertically on parsley stalk. Its legs are bunched together under its head, almost as if in prayer.

Bluesky, so good, you don’t need to give your friends cocaine or super powers. (And includes ALF! No extra charge!!)

Text conversation about Alf on Bluesky between two friends: Friend: What is happening
Friend: What
Friend: is
Friend: Happening
Me: Alf is apparently CEO emeritus of bsky. check my blooski
Friend: I saw it [my Alf flag] and I still have questions
Friend: A little sad by the lack of Alf in my feed, tbh
Friend: Skyline?

Second part of a conversation between two friends about Alf on Bluesky:
Friend: A little sad by the lack of Alf in my feed, tbh
Friend: Skyline?
Me: Skyline? Is that a feed? I haven't figured out feeds yet
Friend: I think your timeline is your skyline
Me: You should quote reskeet my blooski and ask if anyone can explain what's going on with
Alf
Friend: That text gave me a nosebleed

So…I’m not sure if anyone needs a flag like this for anything, but I hear this ALF guy is a big deal here…(funny enough I made these before I knew what a Bluesky or blooski or skeet even was). I probably should have went full creamsicle on the orange one.

This is a cuckoo bee, subfamily Nomadinae, which gets its name from the notorious(?) bird, because it does the, Here have some extra kids things! This photo is one of my better ones, I’d say. Please be kind to your bees.

A reddish-brown cuckoo bee clasps its yellow mandibles onto a purple-tinged end of a grass stalk, hanging at rest, over a soft green background.

Hello, BSky: I have (photos of) bugs to show you, those little workers and freaks and miracles. Probably some dog pics, too. And likely Boston Celtics nonsense, and maybe some woodworking, hopefully reading/writing stuff, maybe volunteerism, and — well, a mess, but with hope, a tidy, enjoyable mess.
