Finished my furlough scarf project!
A pink and grey handwoven scarf draped over a chair. The scarf has a strong geometric pattern that alternates between diamonds and a strange circular patternA closeup on part of the scarf folded over, showing the grey end tassles A closeup on the geometric pattern

Didn't have a tape measure or coin handy, hopefully this pic of it in the yogurt container I used to capture it provides a sense of scale. This container is like 2.25x3" (~6x8 cm). Anyway, hopefully he's finding some even tinier insects to eat outside now
The same lizard, dwarfed by my tiny yogurt container. This thing is like three inches long max.

Check out the lil fella I found in my office this morning
A very tiny lizard standing very still on the concrete outside my building. It has a snakelike head, wrinkly body and a long tail. It is mostly brown, tapering towards yellow in the tail, and has a variety of stripes and spots along its body. It's very cute!

A few weeks back, I saw my first Burrowing Owl in the wild. I just happened to have a loaded film camera with me at the time, so here he is
A small brown owl with bright yellow eyes peering at me from behind a dirt mound. It is surrounded by dried desert brush. This was shot with a Zenit Photosniper on 800 speed film

Got a new lens for one of my cameras and it is LARGE
A Jupiter 9 lens mounted on a Kiev 4 35mm camera. It's very large relative to the size of the camera bodyA comparison shot with a more "normal" lens (I'm pretty sure it's a fake CZJ, it's probably a different Jupiter lens). The 9 is like twice as wideAnother comparison shot, the 9 looks gigantic

Don't speed you guys

Saw a hearse monster truck this morning and all i can say is hell yeah
A lifted, rat rod looking hearse with giant tires on the back of a trailer. There's also an old jeep up there but that's not nearly as cool

Found a baffling shirt at an estate sale and just had to have it
A beige long sleeve t shirt. On the front is a picture of a poblano pepper or something, wreathed in flames. In front is the word "Cowboy" and a pair of horseshoes

Had a lovely ride on my very janky tandem bike this weekend

Just climbed the outside (and also inside) of an old grain silo, it was spooky but so much fun!
A climber is like eighty feet up the side of a grain silo with a cool mural on the side. The climber is me!

Totally forgot to post about it at the time, but last week I redid the stitching on an old camera case. Turned out pretty nice imo!
The before shot. A central piece of leather has completely detached from the surrounding caseAfter shot, all back in one pieceClose up on the stitching. It is clear that i did this by hand and am not very practiced, but it still looks decentBonus shot of the camera in question, a Praktica  IV. I love it dearly, it is a joy to shoot!

Also check out my goofy ass dog
My dog found a patch of dirt in the middle of the wildflowers and started rolling like mad. She is covered in dust and happy as a clam

Took some friends out to see the desert wildflowers this morning and found a perfectly usable tripod and flashlight out there that had been abandoned or forgotten. Score! Usually the only thing I'm coming home with after a trip like this is a stuffy nose

You know I'm all about that garlic shit
Some old glass spice jars with labels painted on the front. They're worn down, and one which presumably used to say "garlic salt" now reads as "garlic shit"

Just went climbing inside a grain silo, it was v cool
The gap between two grain silos, partially painted yellow and sparsely covered with holds. The lighting is dark and moodyAnother view from a different part of the complex. A sketchy yellow rebar ladder goes up one wall, while a climbing route incorporating a 2 by 4 goes up a flat section of wall into the darkness

I'm visiting relatives in Oklahoma and we're staying in a hotel owned and operated by the post office. It's weird as hell but also super cool? Tempted to get some post office swag from the gift shop
The rooms have the postal service logo on them! Also this place is huge, well over a thousand roomsA map of the complex. There's a fucking ropes course??

Inside you there are two wolves
Two attack mailers for my local mayoral election, calling the current mayor a "maga Republican" in one and of having a "Communist agenda" in the other. They were sent by the same campaign.

Scanned some film

Also learned that they make split monoskis for backcountry monoskiing which is simply incredible

For the past month or two my dog has been spending a lot of time starting at one spot on the backyard fence, day and night. Not sure what it is, but my best bet is there's an extradimensional entity on the other side urging her to do dark deeds

Found some fine literature at the used book store today
A book titled "The Smack Man" with a shirtless cop holding a shotgun on the cover. The text underneath reads "In a world of junkies and whores, a killer's on the loose--and Sgt. Joe Ryker is on a rampage..."
