#saturday

10 posts9 participants1 post today

Quite a relaxing Saturday, though still productive. Early morning work on a private cloud architecture for Gentoo VM hosts with Rocky 8/9 VMs, then a very pleasant nap, followed by two hours at the pool for the first time in years, real D3 from the sun!

Afternoon resumed a legacy effort to process RAW slide scans of old "Scala 200" and "Provia 400" photos from the 90s (always shot at 100 ISO, with exposure coefficient adjustment to get deeper contrast). So, yeah, here's late teenage me.

Sometimes you watch TV, and sometimes TV watches you. Sometimes Shylo does her impression of the girl from The Ring. Sometimes Shylo is on her TV, and it's almost time for me to be on YOUR TV tonight at 10!

Good #Saturday morning from #Asheville where it was 66F when I finally dragged myself out of bed.

My #crow friends were already loud, so grabbed coffee and peanuts and went out. The blue jays have figured this out, too, and they got a couple before the #corvids deigned to land, but still came several times to take the bulk.

Even the tufted titmouses (titmice?) try, although they REALLY avoid the crows. Funny to watch, the nuts in shell are about half their body size.

I hope sometime the crows get to the point they don't grab the peanuts and fly off.

Happy #Saturday.

We have some badly needed #rain, which is great.

Rain and #daylilies can be an interesting combination.

Here we have:
Piece of the Action (Owen. P) quite possibly the brightest bi-tone daylily that I know. Not the biggest of flowers or tallest of stems, but wow!

I Luv Lucy ( Wilkerson) close up. Amazing colour. Very twisty.

English Skies (Hensley. D) close up. Dreamy. 😊

Hold the Matches (Selman) hard to miss, even in the dark undergrowth. Guaranteed to cheer us up.
