I like taking pictures. Sometimes it's birds, sometimes it's sunsets, sometimes something else entirely. Owner of CBCbot @scrubfire84.bsky.social. Happily married for 27 years.

My Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso mix, Oscar. Born without canines, his tongue hung out permanently. Loved people. As bright as a 5w light bulb. I miss him horribly. RIP Oscar. #dogs #shihtzu

Sorry about the CBC Bot. I was working on it just before I had to travel, and it had some issues with tags and duplicate posts. It was also running from my desktop, I'm moving it to a dedicated server later today, after I fix the above issues. @scrubfire84.bsky.social

I see people posting "wannabe photographer". Stop. If you are pointing a camera and capturing images, you*are* a photographer. My passion started when I was 9 and repaired my parents old Brownie Reflex, which they then gifted to me. #photography #vintage #camera

Every year there is a Feria in Chapala, Jalisco. They invite master craftsmen from the region to show their wares, and have a stage set up for entertainment. In 2019 they had Flamenco dancers. It was an incredible show. #chapala #jalisco #flamenco #mexico #photography
