We're off to a great start, and I'm off in search of more summertime photos plus other miscellaneous adventures.  I hope to be able to check in from time-to-time but won't be solidly back home ...

No “Smellycat”?

Love them!  Where's the blue cheese? I make Buffalo wing chili.  It's what's for dinner tomorrow.

Let's keep the music going! Here's the song Traveller shared with one of his images https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=summer+in+the+city+lyrics And here's a new one from me:

Yes, I did take a picture of a squirrel.  He or she was at the river otter exhibit. Attention-getting yawn. That paw! Old and wise-looking. I know how you feel, buddy. Important life lesson? I ...

Thanks for posting Sue Anne's exhibition photos. I was slow on the draw. Here's my first for eligible:  https://pbase.com/image/171804812

The baby doesn't know how fortunate he or she is to have you advocating on their behalf.  Maybe someday.  I've watched too many divorces spin into ugliness but appreciated the ones that managed to ...

Jim, I think your toils deserved a win far more than my cellphone snapshot. I am once again humbled to be the top vote-getter in the presence of so many (and we did have good participation) ...

CIC 220: Summertime Very generic, I know. And maybe that's the point? Feel free to go wherever inspiration takes you. Meanwhile, for your listening enjoyment, here are a couple of musical ...

Me mental? Sure. But I try my best not to count my chickens prematurely. Good to know you haven't been swept away by the floods I've seen on the news. I'm guessing Mr. T is either swimming in the ...

Did you denoise the first shot?  Any particular reason you chose such a high shutter speed?

Two added to Eligible and one moved to Pending: https://pbase.com/image/171784690 https://pbase.com/image/171784752

Here's our house's service entrance.  Bit of a rat's nest, if you ask me.  Our last house was all underground.  Much cleaner!

The green is an extension cord for the Wi-Fi device that communicates with our generator and A/C compressor. Here's the old surge arrestor (SyCom) that got clobbered when a contractor working at ...

Did you notice it was taken with an iPhone? Here's a camera shot.  We nicknamed him 'Scar'.

Comfortable distance.  Sometimes they’re too close.

My incentive to purchase waned when I canceled a trip to Antarctica. There will be other occasions for which I will want this lens, so I will have opportunities to buy one.

Or you can rent in Africa and not pay for the lens while you're lugging it to and from there. That's what my son did in 2014 when we visited South Africa, and he was very happy with the results ...

Zing!  Even if unintentional.
