Running outside under an umbrella in a thunderstorm, rainbow seekers that we are, my wife and I, we scored a technical double. Not getting struck by lightning was a bonus, I guess, though that’s getting to be a tougher case to make every day since November, but still—rainbow!

A quick pick of a northern flicker was pretty blurry, ran it through some filters, tried not to lose the unhurried alertness, the still intent.

A northern flicker woodpecker perches on a blue metal feeder amidst lush green leaves.

Our tomtoc Slims have arrived! Bold Ocean Blue, understated Matcha Green, cases snug and rigid for our traveling Switch Ups (Switch 2). My wife chose the blue, so good I liked the green.

This was the line outside the DMV office at 05:30. Five hours later, I’m one of the lucky ones waiting inside. Others are outside where the heat index is 93°F/33.8°C.

Right on the tire track line, just sitting there, no movement, Turtle should be grateful I pay attention pulling into the garage. I put the oblivious reptile in the flower bed it was pointing towards. Make better choices, Turtle.

A small turtle is on a concrete driveway near the front of a parked car.

No joy thus far using Switch Sniper to remove a friction point between my wife and myself. I’m not saying sharing the Switch Up (I refuse to let go of the better moniker) could end 30 years of marriage, but I’m not not saying it, either.
