dahlias at the in-laws’
My external drives are crammed with image files, to the point where I’ve had to buy another drive and do some rearranging in order to keep it all organized and archived properly in case any of the drives fail. This is always the point where I ask myself why I couldn’t become a better writer so I could forgo all of this burdensome photography-related equipment (hardware, software, bulky cameras, storage), and instead carry around the smallest of computers and save my work to The Cloud. And then this is always the point where I go rummaging around the folders for edited photos I haven’t shown before, of ordinary yet happy pictures that don’t need any words or explanation. This is especially relaxing after a spate of events, for which I edit photos in large batches and then spend a lot of time researching the event on the internet to write the posts. Those posts take time, and I always write late at night; this particular combination typically results in major revisions the next day. (And you wonder why I don’t write a book?)
Sometimes it’s nice just to show you what’s on the menu at Mother-in-Law Restaurante, and what flowers are blooming in my in-laws’ backyard.
So where’s the fauna? Oh, he’s there, alright… where there’s food, there is Ice the Dog.
