I don't have any dogs that share my home but Baxter lives with my mom & sister. They adopted him after he was found living on the streets. These are old photos; he is now nearly blind but is still a happy …

Oh, I love this one! https://photos.smugmug.com/Photography/The-mushrooms-of-my-front-yard/i-dDWMGBW/0/b8df1744/250x250/mushrooms-0576-X2.jpg

I'm in awe! I couldn't imagine that the photo image on that video was actually cake!

It's wonderful that you were able to capture these with your phone at the same time that you were watching your grandchildren! Of the three, I like this one best. There is good detail in the butterfly's wing. Funny, I was just thinking I need …

What an awesome interview! I'm looking forward to the interview with your neighbor.

love this one! https://photos.smugmug.com/Family/Photos/2015-AprJun/i-4mrhvMS/0/6e74fff3/300x300/Paris%202015-04324-X4.jpg

Oh, what fun! This is my favorite of the batch. https://photos.smugmug.com/Photography/The-mushrooms-of-my-front-yard/i-Tc7ZvqT/0/139c5bf9/300x300/mushrooms-0552-X2.jpg

This is gorgeous @Joan! It's wonderful to see the same spot in different conditions.

I switched from paper to a Kindle many years ago. I love the availability of books (for Kindle) whenever I need something new to read. And I love that while I most often pay for the books that there are books available for free as well. I always …

Thanks Victoria! I'm still amazed at the quality of murals in our cities. And I really like to learn more about the artists, thanks for including the link.

Good points @Joan! I eat a mix of local produce and fruits & veggies from far away. During local harvesting season farmstands are the first place I explore. Local apples just off the tree are wonderful! That said, I also buy produce from far …

Thanks Chris! Love the tree...

Beautiful! How hard is it to get to this point (other than traversing the spiny bushes)? I can just imagine needing to walk back in the dark after sunset.

Thank you Joan! It's amazing how much the seascape changes in different tide cycles and different weather conditions.

I use the free version of Ghostery as well. One of my big annoyances is when a site where I am paying for access shows ads. Ghostery takes those away. I understand that some sites use the money from ads to suport the site but I don't understand …

Very interesting @Chris, thanks for sharing! This is one of my favorites from that article: https://static.boredpanda.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/aerial-photography-contest-2018-dronestagram-26-5c3c415431920__880.jpg

Thanks for sharing that, it is wonderful! I've been trying to get to both Salem and Lynn when the mural artists are working. I find it interesting to see the work in progress as well as the finished product. Sometimes there are surprises! Here's …

These are amazing @Chris!

I agree. It gives me a reason to keep returning to Salem to see new murals on the walls!

very cool! I look forward to seeing more.

I'm not Chris but I believe Cake is now open to everyone. If I'm not signed in I see a SIGN UP link in the center of the header and in the upper right corner of the browser.

I would both love to be that close to the water and worry that I am that close to the water!

The plums look to me like prune plums. They are a favorite of mine too. They seem to be available (here in the northeast) when apples start coming off of the trees. Sometimes I see them at local farmstands / orchards and sometimes I can pick them …

oh, I love fresh figs!

I've never had a golden kiwi but it sounds like I need to keep an eye out for them. Thanks for the recommendation!
