Tomorrow

What do I want to do tomorrow? Besides the 0.75% of a band practice. I don’t know.

Visit my mother? I could use a little of that. I saw dad today but it’s been a week since I’ve seen mom.

Work on the 50 songs in 90 days thing? Maybe. Probably not.

Get up at sunrise and mess around with cameras again? That would be fun, but where would I go? I’ve hit my favorite spots in town. Maybe downtown Lowell? Maybe the river walk in Lowell? Maybe the Shawsheen river in Tewksbury? I know a couple of good spots, but if the Shawsheen there is as dry as the Spicket here it might not be worth it. Boston? Too far away.

Stay in bed constantly refreshing eBay all day? I’m still the highest bidder but there are 22.5 hours remaining.

Pet the kitty all day?

Finish Umbrella Academy and start Stranger Things or Orville or Westworld or….

I don’t know. In the immortal words of Traffic, from their second record, Who Knows What Tomorrow May Bring?

No Edits Today

I was planning on spending some time on YouTube today learning about how to edit photos and all sorts of fun stuff like that. Instead I’m just hanging out with Jen watching the tube. I much prefer this.

I still snuck outside for a couple of random pics tonight. I am still hoping for some red sky and mother nature continues to let me down. Just like winter. Damn it.

Tomorrow. Before work. Walking through the woods. It’s happening. Maybe.

I used the Auto setting for this one because I couldn’t get the light meter to 0 without a 45 minute shutter speed (exaggerating).

Watermelon

We ordered groceries from Instacart today. We didn’t order this, but they brought it anyway.

Where did I put my sledgehammer?

Unrelated note: Patches has a new favorite spot.

I took this while walking up the stairs from the cellar. She was giving me the evil eye the whole way.

Random Stuff

If you’ve been reading this blog at any time over the past nearly 14 years then you know that I post a lot of random pictures that I take with my iPhone. Tons and Tons of them. Ever since taking possession of Dad’s film SLR though, I have wanted to transfer the random picture taking from my iPhone to my DSLR. I did a little of that today.

We rearranged Jen’s office a little so that Patches could have a way to sit in the sun when the curtains are open.

I was looking out the window just after taking that picture and I thought I saw one of the neighbor’s golf balls in the grass. I went outside to investigate but it was just a piece of plastic. I took the opportunity to take a couple of random pictures. On this one I used Sunny 16 and it more or less worked! Nice!

Every time I get a new iPhone I create a generic album on Flickr to hold random pics taken with that phone. I just created a similar album for my D90. Let’s see how long this lasts.
