It has been a while since I did one of these!

Todays sunrise. A minute before this it was all shades of pink.

A view of the sunrise with colors going from golden yellow on the horizon to bright orange to dark orange with the silhouette of a tree in the foreground.

Just noticed that my Obsidian notes folder was missing a lot of files. I use iCloud to sync it. According to Time Machine, the data loss happened almost two months ago. Restored from there to separate folder. About to work through identifying changes with git and restoring. Ugh.

All social activities happen in bubbles. Even IRL. As long as a platform allows me to manage that bubble, I’m fine with it.

When President Biden visited Portland recently, his motorcade went down the road that’s two blocks from our place. We were away at that time. So now, Mr. Momo, our indoor cat, who never leaves home, has been in closer proximity to POTUS than either of us will likely ever be 😐

My iPad was cold to the touch this morning. Then I started reading Viticci’s Stage Manager article, enabled it for the first time, and started to play with it. Five minutes later my iPad was nice and warm. I like this feature!

Happy Diwali 🪔

Yesterday I visited a couple of galleries after a long time.

I got this gorgeous 12" x 12" print by Alice Christine Walker at Blue Sky.

A colorful square photographic print enclosed in a clear plastic envelope.

There was an exhibition there of some amazing huge prints.

A gallery wall with three large photographic prints mounted on it.

I saw prints of the Gravestones project by my friend Isaac at Blue Sky. I had seen these online but prints are always so much better.

Two black and white matted prints enclosed in a clear plastic envelope.

I also went over to Blackfish Gallery where I saw these cyanotypes by my friend Kim. She is the featured artist this month.

A gallery window with several cyanotype prints mounted on a wall.

Foggy morning in the neighborhood.

Foggy street view with the top of a chimney silhouetted by the rising Sun directly behind it and a warm orange sky.
