Aficionado of low notes — bassoons, cellos, rolling thunder. Whipped cream on my unsweetened apple crumble. Workin’ the pith ‘n’ vinegar beat.

Black-crowned night heron perched on fence above dumpster, perhaps making sure recyclers behave or waiting for a snack to tumble in #bird #birdphotography #heron #nature #habitat
Against a dark blue night sky, Black-crowned night heron perches on a fence above a dumpster, perhaps making sure recycling goes in correct slots. Or maybe hoping for a snack to tumble in.  A sign on the fence reads « HEY YOU  Break Down the BOXES !!! «

Umarell action figures in the Bologna Museum of Modern Art shop.
Ten Umarelle action figures in the Bologna Museum of Modern Art shop on a shelf. About 5.5-inch tall 
figures in different colors - rose, bronze, red, silver, orange, pale green, purple, dark blue, ochre and white. They depict retired men, hands behind back, in a pose observing, perhaps about to comment on street construction work. A sign says price is €23.90. Another, in Italian and English, asks not to touch, rather ask shopkeeper to help. Who might be standing nearby.

Design treat on a cafe wall. NFS. I asked.
Large vintage gold-ringed wall clock, maybe 50 cim in diameter with teal blue neon inner ring illuminating the face and the large blue dot and word Blaupunkt at slight diagonal between 9 and 2. The Roman numbers also blue are sans serif. The silver hands register a minute or so past 8. There is no second hand. It is analog, so the hands move smoothly.   On a cafe wall.

Playing Letter Boxed in NYT: declares wordle « not a word » though I suppose at some point it will morph from a proper noun a la xerox or google into a generic verb.

Not sure I want a phone that boasts of being a burden. Like a more flippant and cheery one.
Ad for a phone that says get one on us, though it looks like onus, or a burden.
