she’s so fed up with me, lol
greta, an elderly mastiff, would have been enjoying a nice nap if i wasn’t making her try on her halloween costume 🧶

she’s wearing the beginnings of a hand-knit tiger-striped snood, which is currently trailing assorted bits of scrap yarn i’m using as stitch markers and lifelines

the birthday boy is 12! too excited to cooperate with photos, but still very cute
frank, a white dog, a little too close and a bit out of focus with his wavy little tongue sticking out a couple of inches. on a little table in front of him is a cupcake cup full of whipped cream with little carrot-chunk sprinkles. frank sits on the porch and delicately licks his lips. he's wearing a blue and black buffalo plaid "it's my birthday" bandana. not terribly in focus this time, either.

@awilddre.bsky.social @amyhoy.bsky.social Frankie had his mobility consultation yesterday. it was really informative! glad we did it. i have a much clearer understanding of how his illness will progress and what kinds of things we can do to help him.
frankie, a one-eyed white dog, is curled up on a couch. his tail is wagging (slightly blurred). he's wearing little boots on his back feet, but they're kinda hidden by a fold of the denim quilt under his hind end.

progress!
same lizard from the quoted photo, but now on the other side of the bike pump, next to a flat deli lid with a dollop of gecko food near the edge. there’s a little indentation in the top of the food where the lizard may have taken a little bite.

checking on a visitor sony dsc-h1 (5mp) #shittycamerachallenge found this little lizard looking dazed on our doorstep this morning and she's stayed in this corner all day. i left a bit of water and gecko food out. hopefully she perks up as it cools off.
tired-looking desert spiny lizard(?) lurking in a corner between a rake and a bike tire pump. it's night time, but she's illuminated with a flashlight.

the lizard is slightly spiky and tan with a line of dark dots down the back and a little dark crescent behind the head.

two budgies perched on top of a cabinet with korean mother of pearl inlay. they birds are facing towards each other but eyeing the camera, probably scheming against me. 

one bird, sitting on the edge, is blue, white, and black; the other is a bit further back from the edge and is a smaller, feistier bird in blue-green, yellow, and gray. behind the birds there's a textured ceramic vase and a warm yellow wall.

portrait of frank, a largish one-eyed white dog. his face is bright white with the light shining on his fur. his jowls and neck wrinkles droop a bit, and his pretty brown eye is ringed with darker skin so it looks like he's wearing eyeliner. he's laying on sofa with his delicate paws hanging over the edge.

our dogs are getting old 😭 frank’s starting to show signs of neurodegenerative problems so the vet wants us to work on maintaining his strength. He now gets shoes and little diy ankle weights for our nightly walks.

BELUGA WHALE? AI tools are so informative
screenshot of the apple photos app with AI identification mis-identifying a photo of a narrow crescent moon as a great egret (or, as a secondary possibility, a beluga whale)

The text from the egret info popup follows:
Great Egret (species of bird)
The great egret, also known as the common egret, large egret, great white egret, or great white heron, is a large, widely distributed egret. The four subspecies are found in Asia, Africa, the Americas, and southern Europe. Recently, it has also been spreading to more northern areas of Europe. Distributed across most of the tropical and warmer temperate regions of the world, it builds tree nests in colonies close to water.
Taxon Name: Ardea alba (Carl Linnaeus, 1758)

a tiny little lizard on an expanse of linoleum.
the lizard is a mottled brown color with darker spots around their neck, has long toes on their hind legs, and is 2-3” long including tail—maybe a juvenile spiny lizard? they seem unbothered both about being indoors and about being photographed

Palm trees as jagged, red-haloed silhouettes against a sunset. The sky is a gradient from peach at the top to a harsh yellow-white at the bottom.  the spiky top of a short palm tree erupts into  lower part of the frame, framed but not fully contained between the vertical trunks of taller palm trees and horizontal power lines.

nighttime scene. a large beer-brewing tank looms in front of an industrial building turned craft brewery. a streetlight casts an oversized, moon-like globe of light in the humid air (though light reflecting from the power lines and light post gives away its terrestrial origin). after a few drinks in the taproom, the white tank, with its pointed top and the red-painted struts supporting it could almost be a rocket waiting on its launch tower.

an “i voted” sticker next to my front door to ward off political canvassers. 

the sticker is on an index card slipped behind a horseshoe above the doorbell.
i love our early voting stickers—they say “i voted” at the top in english, then have a horizon with silhouettes of saguaros and other desert plants, followed by “i voted” in tohono o’odham (“a:ñi ‘ant wodalt”), and spanish (“yo voté”), and at the very bottom “pima county, az”

yeah, the hrv didn’t prove useful for me. it did collect the heart rate data i wanted, but i couldn’t export it from the app or manipulate it the way i'd like to. i’m not really their target audience, though. i’m probably a market segment of one when it comes to health-monitoring widgets, tbh.
Screenshot from visible app showing my heart rate over the course of a day. 70ish bpm until 6 am, a gap where a wasn’t wearing the monitor, really high (110-130bpm) for a couple of hours in the morning, gradually tapering off to 90ish at noon and 80ish in the evening.

a heron trifecta today! 🪶
 a green heron darts across a little patch of land towards the water, slightly blurred from its motion, with one foot lifted and its yellow eye catching the light.  a great blue heron stands tall in a shallow pond. the bird is looking to one side and seems purposeful and focused. In the background, a second great blue heron facing away from the camera stares idly off into the distance. 
 a black-crowned night heron stands facing towards the camera, orange eyes glaring in the general direction of the camera. the disgruntled-looking bird is surrounded by slightly hazy green and orange streaks from the out-of-focus reeds that were between me and the bird.

My ex went to Switzerland with me one time and refused to believe the fountains were safe to drink from. And yeah, if they were in the US, they’d have gross, chlorinated, recirculating water. I would never drink from one here. But it’s Switzerland, so the water’s good.

It has a painted/gilded pillar with statue of an ogre eating a baby. metal spout from the side of the pillar pours water into an octagonal stone basin.A piazza with a fountain. a metal spout sticks out of a stone pillar, pouring a stream of water into a wide, stone basin.

to be fair, sometimes this is the bottle :-/ people shouldn’t be asking chatgpt, but manufacturers really should put dosage info somewhere more prominent
2-panel image. first photo: OTC pill bottle label with warning text, manufacturers info, and then a little “peel here” arrow pointing at the label’s corner (circled in yellow). But the warning text on the outside of the label looks like it ends before the manufacturer info starts. It’s not obvious that critical info can only be found be peeling off the label


second photo: the pill bottle with the label mostly peeled open to show the warnings and drug info continuing on the back side. dosage info (circled in yellow) is at the very end of the text, where you can’t see it until you’ve peeled it all the way open.

i recently saw an apartment with this layout, and i’m still mad about it. it’s jarring to have a wall there as you enter, but forgivable if the closet opens towards the front door or even the living room—nice to have a coat closet, even if it’s awkwardly placed but this is NOT a coat closet!
sketch of floor plan with the BLANK BACK WALL OF A CLOSET (labeled “Not-Coat Closet (shelves!)”) right inside the front door, creating a claustrophobic, un-welcoming entryway with just enough space for the front door to open all the way. on entering, you have to immediately turn right into the living room.
the closet’s door doesn’t face the front door, nor the living room to the right of the front door. instead it faces towards the dining room table (which WOULD be straight ahead from the front door if the way wasn’t blocked by this ridiculous closet.
