As you can see here I have composed this photograph with my bike computer clearly removed from its cradle on the race machine

This is from a period where seeing the stats of the ride is very important

It is also from a period when phones only have a yes no GSM and SMS capability

In the period when free bike computers could be run from Android systems, I stopped buying these excellent bike computers because most importantly I did not need to buy multiple copies of these bike computers

Reflection of a mountaintop in a lake's flat water surface on a sunny day.

Best friend sent me this photo of a hiking trip in the Alps, where he went with his nephews and a friend.

Saved it and made it my home screen ☺️

Beautiful scenery, isn't it?

Close-up of white wild cherry blossoms on a branch with fresh green leaves against a pale blue sky. Multiple delicate flowers with five petals each are visible, with prominent stamens in the center. The shallow depth of field creates a soft, blurred background.

A small white crab spider camouflaged among the petals of a white wild cherry flower. The spider is positioned on one of the lower hanging blooms, nearly blending in with the white petals. A small black insect (possibly a fly or bee) is visible nearby on the flower. Green leaves and additional blossoms surround the scene with a soft, out-of-focus grassy background.

A clear, shallow river curves through a forested landscape under a bright blue sky. The water reveals smooth stones and pebbles beneath its surface. Gravel banks line the river’s edge, flanked by tall evergreens and leafy deciduous trees in fresh spring green.

The summertime North Fork Calawah River is clear and beautiful 🩵💚

A square-cropped close-up of a mossy fallen log extending diagonally from the bottom left corner into a shallow creek. The tight framing emphasizes the texture of the bark and the clarity of the water below, creating an immersive perspective.

A wider, landscape-oriented version of the same scene. This crop includes more of the surrounding forest canopy and riverbanks, placing the fallen log within the broader context of the lush green woodland environment.

I like both versions of this scene from the creek out back, but the crop of a photo can really change the feel of a scene, yeah? I typically like wider crops more, but square crops tend to work better for small screens because you don't have to ask your audience to rotate orientation for proper viewing 😅

A cluster of unripe elderberries lies on smooth gray creek stones in bright sunlight. The berries are a mix of green, yellowish-orange, and red, attached to vivid magenta stems. A single blade of green grass crosses diagonally beside them; the rocky creek bed fills the sunlit background.

A close-up, ground-level view of an unripe elderberry cluster resting among rounded river rocks. Green and red-tinged berries branch from dark reddish-purple stems, with a few small green leaves nearby. Blurred sunlit foliage glows in the background under a strong, shallow depth of field.

Cyanocitta stelleri like to cut off bunches of Sambucus racemosa to eat the berries in private. Not all of them are great at picking ripe bunches 😅

Purple crocuses with orange stamens bloom through cardboard sheet mulch in bright sunlight.

I was impressed by these crocuses that grew through cardboard sheet mulch to reach the sun 🌷☀️

Looking up at a large maple tree beside a creek, its sprawling branches thickly covered in green moss, with bright sunlight filtering through the dense leafy canopy onto ferns and gravel along the bank.

Now testing a #littleFedi post scheduled 24+ hours ago with more magnificent Acer macrophyllum. I will never cease to be amazed by these organisms and their (many) symbiotes.

Deer gods 🦌🙏 I love these temperate rainforests 💚

A low-angle view of moss-covered trees in the Hoh Rainforest. Thick green moss coats the leaning trunk and arching branches of a bigleaf maple, with tall evergreens and patches of blue sky behind.

Let's test a near-future scheduled post from #littleFedi with this photo of a magnificently moss-laden Acer macrophyllum I came across on a short walk through the Hoh Rainforest to the banks of the Hoh River.

The macro photo makes a piece of wood like an abstract photo.

Close-up photo of a west coast lace weaver spider resting on a weathered wooden stake in a garden. The spider has glossy reddish-orange legs and head, and a large, rounded, silvery-grey abdomen held upright. Green foliage blurs softly in the background.

Spider season started early on the Olympic Peninsula this year. Walking into webs every which way I go isn't my favorite thing in the world, but I do love the opportunity to photograph some cool arachnids. This particular spider is Callobius severus. My partner saved her from drowning, and I captured a bazillion photos while she recovered in the sun.

"Image poisoning" with Nightshade - a handy tool for anyone, who publishes photos and graphics of their artworks online.

Description (excerpt):
"Nightshade works similarly as Glaze, but instead of a defense against style mimicry, it is designed as an offense tool to distort feature representations inside generative AI image models. Like Glaze, Nightshade is computed as a multi-objective optimization that minimizes visible changes to the original image. While human eyes see a shaded image that is largely unchanged from the original, the AI model sees a dramatically different composition in the image. For example, human eyes might see a shaded image of a cow in a green field largely unchanged, but an AI model might see a large leather purse lying in the grass. Trained on a sufficient number of shaded images that include a cow, a model will become increasingly convinced cows have nice brown leathery handles and smooth side pockets with a zipper, and perhaps a lovely brand logo.

As with Glaze, Nightshade effects are robust to normal changes one might apply to an image. You can crop it, resample it, compress it, smooth out pixels, or add noise, and the effects of the poison will remain. You can take screenshots, or even photos of an image displayed on a monitor, and the shade effects remain. Again, this is because it is not a watermark or hidden message (steganography), and it is not brittle. (...)"

"Global Photo Project 2026. One day, one world, many ways to see it.

On August 19th, 2026, people everywhere will take photos of daily life. We will all capture one day on Earth together. This is the birthday of photography, and I want to invite you to join.

The idea is very simple. Just take one photo on August 19th, wherever you are and of whatever you like. You do not need special gear or skills. You can use any camera, including your phone. Everyone can join, whether you are just starting or have been taking photos for years.

After August 19th, you can send your photo on the website. The submission link will be sent after the 19th of August 2026. You will have time to send the image until August 31st. All the photos will be shown together in a big gallery and also in a book. This project is not for profit. The money from the book will go to charity. You will always keep the copyright of your photo."
