That wasn’t the theme when I started this. I had a weekend photo to use, and a day’s post to pad out. What to do, what to do? There’s always a photo post waiting to happen.
And with three new photos and a slow Tuesday with few accomplishments to point to, I put a little branding tag on the pics. Time to try something new, I figured, and then I uploaded the photos.
And that works! Three photos! I can write around that! Look at the text layer! How over-done and gimmicky! I wonder how long that will last! Or how long it will be before I change the font? Or the size? Or I have to work around a picture with poor negative space.
Which was when I realized: I took all of these pictures in the backyard. And, if the backyard wasn’t somehow the height of adventure recently, that’d probably mean something. But, alas.
We have a little tree with a lot of character:
And we have other trees that are just casual foreground. This photo is really about how you can still see at almost 10 p.m. this time of year.
It’s my favorite part of the place, easy.
That was earlier this evening. And this was soon after. Darkness had fallen, we stood out in the yard to look up. The International Space Station was soaring overhead.
There are five people up there. I get to see it occasionally, and that never gets old. We are up there.
Space still excites people. Excites me, anyway, even if it is just from the backyard.
