The last few weeks have been hot and busy so I have not been on Bluesky much. Here in Colorado we are dealing with lots of wildfires and the associated smoke. These are a few photos from a walk around the neighborhood a few days ago when the sun was very red along with the light from it. #ALTtxt

A very red sun from wildfires poking out from some clouds above an alleyway. A utility pole with wires is in the left side of the image.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekVforVocal "Feed me human, I want my dinner. It is five o clock." Ada knows "dinner", "evening meal" and "its five o clock" among other things. When it nears that time, she barks at us to be fed and trots over to her food tin to get our attention. #PhotographersUnited

Our Golden Retriever Ada begging for her dinner at five o clock. We have a paper sign with a magnet that we flip over if Ada has been fed a meal as she is known to beg for a second feeding and trick us.

The word vegetation highlighted on one of my photos in the ALT text screen on Bluesky as of today. This was not possible before when I made my original post a few days ago. I am happy to see this :)

The ALTtxt now shows everything on one page, and is nonselectable. ALTtxt was in larger text and scrollable before. This seems like a pretty bad bug and something that was broken instead of fixed. Screenshot of Robyn's weekly photo challenge ALT text.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekTforTime Ripples of time. The Poudre River was running fast today with water from lots of rain the past few days. It has been pretty dry and warm recently, so the rain is welcome. It was nice weather for taking the dog for an extended walk. #PhotographersUnited #ALTtxt

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekTforTime It was a relief to get some rain the past few days. Winter and Spring have been very dry without much moisture to speak of. We bought some plants for our garden outside hoping things will be safe from freeze warnings at this point. #PhotographersUnited

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekSforSongs The Stone Circle by Acoustic Alchemy What used to be an odd triangle shaped area at a four way stop has been turned into a "rain garden". Changing the flow of traffic and sidewalks seems good, though it will take some getting used to. #PhotographersUnited
