I'm tabling at the (rural Oregon) county fair and the local Republicans are raffling off assault rifles and meat with AI slop posters. Whoo. America fuck yeah. But! We also have a working families party tent and a Sasquatch calling contest so balance in all things I guess.

A color photo of the side of a pop-up red white and blue tent at a fair, there are republican banners and a big sign with raffle information on it.

OK so I know its not #caturday but let me introduce Sushi, my grandcat, who has one pink toe bean, is extremely bouncy, has very sharp tiny feet, purrs mightily, and survived a little kid birthday party with aplomb (he slept the whole next day.) #kitten #blueskycats

4 photos in a grid of, starting at top left, a kittens toe beans - 3 are black but the 2nd from the left is pink; a black and white kitten looking regal in front of white blinds; the kitten looking a bit manic in a red and green felt bag and the kitten in a different grocery bag, ready to spring.

Yesterday's pelicans. #stunday #scape #photography #blueskyartshow #pelicans #oregoncoast

5 brown pelicans flying over the ocean. On the horizon is a cargo ship. The sky is cloudy and waves are breaking just below the pelicans..

Fireworks from the hill above the river. Beautiful! & fun! Cruelly abandoned my poor dog who is on more drugs than Hunter Thompson on a good night & ensconced in blankets, beds & white noise. No guilt. ok some guilt. #phoneography #fireworks #Oregon #oregoncoast #astoriaoregon

Fireworks exploding abovd the Columbia River in Astoria, Oregon. There are some big old houses and power lines in front.

Here's the fate of the clams. Dropped in boiling water until they opened, then cleaned, then cut up, dredged in flour, egg and bread crumbs and fried. Yum!

One razor clam out of its shell before it is cleaned

Fliss@flisswave· Jul 4

Got up early, went clamming. 😁 then Four and I cleaned them and cooked them for dinner. #oregoncoast #clouds #scape #phoneography #photography

A wide beach at low tide. There are clumps of people in the distance. The sky is very cloudy and is reflected in the water.

Mr. Binks is now anti vaxx and so mad at me. You took me somewhere horrible, he says, and they hurt me and now I feel like ass. Jail for 1000 years and also, I enjoyed biting you.

A black cat curled into a perfect sphere on two blankets, one pink and one blue.

Fliss@flisswave· Jun 26

Got to the drop in poor people vet with Binks and Harvey at 7:10, am 8th in line for the daily progression of vet visits which starts at 9. Its pouring. Poor Binks needs a litter box. I need coffee. But a block walk with Harvey yields this so, OK. #phoneography #photography #scape #westcoastkin

A very gray and foggy view of a huge river. There are pilings, a dilapidated building out on piers in the water and in the distance a huge cargo ship.

Happy Caturday from Mr. Binks, who has Opinions. #caturday #phoneography

A saturated color photo of a black cat sitting on top of a weathered fence. The cats mouth is wide open. In the background is a dark red car, a very blue sky with white clouds and some green trees. There's also a weird looking ceramic birdhouse hanging from the fence rail under the cat. The photographer made it and no birds have ever moved in, which is smart of them.

Yesterday's dragonfly. #summer #stunday #phoneography #dragonfly

A black dragonfly rests vertically on a blade of extremely tall grass

Some Ilford HP 5 black and white film and the fabulous Chaika II half frame Soviet camera. More on my blog (link in profile) #believeinfilm #halfframe #analogphotography #photography

Two black and white photos in a diptych; the photo on the left is a dead pelican in the sand and the one on the right is a tree growing directly behind a piled stone wall.

A grainy black and white photo of a truck next to a boat on a trailer. The boat has a sign reading Research 15. Both are parked in thick grass. It is foggy.

Beautiful morning for floating around in the sky #stunday #scape #photography #phoneography #oregoncoast

A color photo of a harbor on the Columbia River in Astoria Oregon. The water is very still, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds perfectly. There are ships and a tall bridge in the distant background.

Fliss@flisswave· May 2

Happy Caturday here is a Binkstych. He loves nothing more than a ride in the car or, failing that, just hanging out in it. #caturday #phoneography #blackcat #voidcat

Two photos of the same black cat. The one on the left is a closeup of the cat in a car with a neighborhood visible through the windshield. The one on the right is the cat stretched out on a pebbly concrete driveway in the sun.

Y'all i went yard saling

A record cover that says Polka Party in big red letters across the top of a photo of 2 young people in polka regalia but everything around them is psychedelically swirled and they seem to be having too much fun. Theres a label on the left that says Readers Digest Pleasure Programmed

Fliss@flisswave· Apr 26

Got a roll of film back, as always I love my early indestructible 80s Praktica East German camera so so much. No auto focus or similar modern conveniences here! 😆 #believeinfilm #stunday #scape #riverscape #staybrokeshootfilm #analog #photography #oregoncoast #astoriaor

A dreamy muted color photo of the Columbia River with cargo ships and hills in the distance

A color photo of the Astoria bridge between Oregon and Washington reflected in the river.

A somewhat unexpected pruning job on one of my azaleas and every time I walk outside . . . Here come old flattop . . . plays in my head. 😆 #bloomscrolling #azalea #gardening

A blooming pink azalea that has been pruned into some peculiar rectangle shape.

Y'all - asparagus soup with lemon creme fraiche and a grilled cheese. Damn. Recipe from Bon Appetit, I can't link it because then they'll tell you you've read your last free article but wow, very simple, just butter shallots asparagus veggie stock & interestingly, coriander.

A bowl of green soup with white cream artistically on top. Next to the soup is a grilled cheese sandwich.

I saw my favorite truck in all the world today. Is it not a thing of beauty and a joy forever? I really needed this visitation today too. Talk about a timeline cleanse!

A pickup truck with a meticulously painted trompe l'oeil portrait of a reclining Bigfoot petting a small racoon on the back gate.

Happy Easter y'all it is like 70 damn degrees here in the PNW and we're dying Easter eggs on the porch. Harvey had a lovely run on the beach this morning. #phoneography #easter

A large reddish brown dog bounding across a low tide beach with a big smile on his face.

A table outside covered with Easter eggs and the detritus of dying the eggs. There are also several purple margaritas cans.

Glorious day for it in Astoria! Most of my photos were film, so they'll be ready in a few months. But here's my sign - very local reference 😉 - and a picture that doesn't show much of the crowd. But we were there, lining Marine Drive for blocks! #nokings

A colorful protest sign reading No Kings But Custard

A photo of the march 28 No Kings protest showing only a few of the many protesters on Marine Drive in Astoria

My hyper local reference no kings sign next to local reference in question. #nokings #protestart

Good morning from this roadside elk. #phoneography #photography #oregoncoast #elk #wildlife

Although everything is still terrible, this morning at the beach was pretty great. #silentsunday #stunday #seascape #scape #phoneography #photography #straightouttathephone #oregoncoast #bluesky

A wide horizontal color photo of the beach at low tide. The blue sky and clouds are reflected in the wet sand.

Harvey amidst the mysterious daffodils this afternoon. #blueskydogs #phoneography #photography #astoriaor

A tall vertical color photograph of a big red dog on a green grassy trail with yellow daffodils lining the edges. In the background is a low tide bay and a very small city on a hill.

Last fall i bought a hideous 90s white chest of drawers off Facebook marketplace for $50. I have been transforming it - while using it, I bought it to put my clothes in - it's about done. 1 draw handle & 4 screws have gone missing & it needs more fish, but 😁🤣😄 it is terrible & wonderful. #myart

A color photo of six drawers in a chest of drawers. They have been painted with an inexpert and blotchy undersea scene. There is kelp. There are what started out to be holdfasts. The artist got distracted a lot and wandered off for months. There are jellyfish thanks to an Etsy stencil. There is an odd looking school of minnows. There is drippy paint. And best of all there are painted foam fish - combo of gelli plate and gyotaku, it seemed like a good idea at the time - tied to 3 of the handles.

A color photo of the same chest of drawers as the other photo, revealing a hutch of shelves on top, in all its cluttered glory. It was white when I got it, made of some weird laminate, and the interior of the hutch was an awful barn red.

At the Moda Center to see Brandi Carlile way the hell up in the nosebleed seats and how do people do this? In my defense the last stadium is was in was Atlanta to see Neil Young in like 1985 and we mostly snuck around the floor. This is terrifying.

Friday is #scape day and everything is still terrible so here is some eye candy from golden hour on Tuesday. Straight out of the phone. #blueskyartshow #photography #phoneography #oregoncoast #astoriaor #bridge #eastcoastkin

A color photo of a wide river at sunset with a tall bridge stretching across it. The sunset clouds and the bridge are reflected in the water. This is the Megler Bridge between Oregon and Washington in Astoria Oregon

#BirdoftheDay theme is #WideOpenWings and this American White Pelican fits the bill; wings so wide they aren't even all in the frame. 😃 also the alternate theme is perched on something other than a branch - in this case, air. Levitating! #photography #birding #pelicans #whitepelican #oregoncoast

A square color photo of 3 white pelicans in or just above the water. The one in front has outspread wings and seems to be landing on a piling.

Fliss@flisswave· Feb 20

At last #birdoftheday theme #wingsoverwater is something I have, uh, lots of. So many. 🤣 So here are three. Pelicans, geese and a murmuration of some small shorebirds that might be plovers might be. . I don't know. #photography #birds #scape #eastcoastkin #oregoncoast
