Coyote or ugly dog?

A medium-small, skinny, mottled gray canine of some sort. Crossing a forested road from right to left, just about to walk over the center double yellow line.

There was an aerial commotion outside just now. Two crows took exception to a hawk hanging out in their tree, and were diving at it.

A hawk sitting in a fir tree against a lightly clouded blue sky, and a black crow has just swooped past it.

Crow, hawk, tree. This time the crow's wings and tail are fully spread, and you can see its big primary feathers.

"Christopher," you might ask, "did you buy a $1400 camera lens so you could take pictures of birds in your yard?" No, I bought it on eBay and got a decent deal.

I also gave my kiddo a camera and let him go nuts. Predictable results.

Did a little bit of light offroading with my son, my friend, and his dog this afternoon.

You guys the English team captain just dropped this, what could it mean?

Diagram labeled Black Buck Tanker Plan, demonstrating how ten Victor tankers could provide enough fuel to a Vulcan bomber to reach Stanley airport from RAF Ascension. I've added a soccer ball and the argentinian flag in photoshop

Old camera works ok. I even went out and bought a used macro lens from the camera store.

Close up of a boquet, featuring some tiny yellow flowers in the center, and a large red flower off to the side.

More focused closeup of the tiny yellow flowers. It's a cluster of a dozen or so flowers.

Computers have been generating perfectly good images of chrome spheres on checkerboards for decades, and I've gone and fucked it up by using a local image generation model rather than raytracing. Also it took like ten minutes

An image of a chrome sphere sitting on a gray and white checkerboard, only some of the squares are irregular and the pattern isn't pretty. The sphere is pretty good, but the reflection is wonky

Lol it is exceptionally large.

A Mamiya rb67 pro sd medium format camera with a 250mm lens on the front, attached to a tripod on my back porch. It looks like rocketry components

Sabrina was musing about whether our cat had lost weight. Conclusively, I am happy to report, he has not. Thanks, weird Home Assistant integration with my litter box!

Home Assistant history of "Panther Weight". Between May 17 and June 9, it has fluctuated between 12.7 and 13.2 lbs.

"I'm so excited to do the word search my tax preparer sent in her newsletter!!" (Seriously though if you need a tax preparer I can't recommend Toral enough)

A word find. 15 words to find. "As you work though the puzzle, you'll find key tax related terms that help reinforce everyday financial concepts, making the experience both fun and educational. Scan the grid slowly in all directions. Start by locating the first letter of reach word and mark each words as you find it."

Then there's a big grid of letters. The first three are TAX

What's the worst that happens? It doesn't come out right and you go try again. I still need to figure out why this roll of Portra came out brownish and with sprocket hole splorches
