Pre-school photo of me that has been filtered to make it more like a religious icon (had to do something to reduce the unbearable cuteness of the original photo)
Leo was sleeping on the back of the couch, so I got up to take a photo. By the time I got across the room he woke up and started wiggling around in different poses. Eventually, he wiggled a bit too much...
One would think that belly would keep him anchored in place.

This is our fuzziest boy, Gizmo, after he woke up while I was sneaking a photo (he usually sleeps in secluded spots so I rarely get good pics of him)
For #DoorsDay, here's a famous door (roll-up door) in the San Telmo area of Buenos Aires...
It seems to get reinterpreted every once in a while - the most recent version I recall seeing has a red background. This pic was from June 2023 (the graffiti is signed Naso 2021).

#FensterFreitag
Petey in his favorite place to catch the sun.
There's a wildflower garden outside the window that always has bees, birds, and butterflies to catch his attention...
The blinds are usually mostly closed because that is my home office and the glare from the east-facing window is too much in the morning.
For #FensterFreitag I shared a photo of a stained glass window taken through scaffolding in the Sagrada Familia...
This is a much better photo of the scaffolding in contrast with the organic shaped concrete.

Nobody knows how to enjoy a #SilentSunday quite like Petey.

@cmconseils@mastodon.social Would likely just get me slightly out of focus shots of cat noses...

Happy #DoorsDay
Here are some interesting doors that are not the usual building doors...
For #WildflowerWednesday here is an evening primrose; Oenothera elata (Hooker’s Evening Primrose).
This photo was from 2 years ago; I have at least a dozen new ones that should flower this summer. These flowers grow as a flat rosette of leaves for ~1 year and then send up a tall stalk (1-2 m) that has flowers growing from the stem. As the name suggests, they primarily bloom at night and wither in the morning.

Nighttime photo of some tall Sunflowers (and a little friend; moth at the bottom of the center disc of florets). Usually the sunflowers have several of those plain white moths in the center at night.
#MeerMittwoch (inland sea)
Lake Superior taken from Wisconsin Point in Superior, WI.
The #lighthouse is the Superior Entry Breakwater Lighthouse (entrance from #LakeSuperior to the harbor).
It looks like it is back on the market via the National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act if you are looking for a project. (the tech bro that bought it back in 2019 must have backed out)

@pekkatahkola I want to go there... I really do miss those very cold days where the snow squeaks and the trees crack and groan.

@pluralistic I recall an old time radio scifi story where folks would put on their "public face" before leaving the house... I assume they were dealing with this surveillance BS.

@ChaHarper@mastodon.scot Ah, so we will be safe later this summer... We have a bunch of Oenothera elata (Hooker’s Evening Primrose) that are in their second year where they flower.
They are still just a rosette of leaves.

@vees@jawns.club Just had to deal with that last week... (think some crud got in when I was gardening). Tried blasting it with electronic contact cleaner, but that didn't help (wasn't sure where my compressed air was).
My custom USB-C port cleaning kit (I just cut stiff plastic into slightly hook-shaped wedges). The caps of sprayer bottles have just the right stiffness and thickness for the task.

Is it a composite or were you able to find all stages at once?
I don't recall ever seeing buds/flowers when there was ripe fruit, but I wasn't looking either...

@Fakepivot@mastodon.social @dan@discuss.systems My niece's donkeys just went after one of her dogs when it went in their pasture.
In all fairness, that lil' terrier (terror) does give off coyote/dire-wolf vibes.

@unsafelyhotboots@sharkey.world @zwol@masto.hackers.town Many states now allow them on city streets, but not on freeways. You can find them anywhere you can find other vehicles online; autotrader, bring-a-trailer, etc.
Generally, they have to be over 25 yrs old to be imported.

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social There was an attempt to define Finns as Asian because they were often major forces behind organizing labor that Lumber Barons and Mining interests did not want.
