Astoria loves Lions.

A neighborhood flower.

A vibrant pink and white flower blooms among green foliage by a sidewalk, with cars and autumn-colored trees in the background.

I took a photo I only kind of liked. Something was missing. Turns out? Mirror.

Playing with desaturation.

This movie rules. Saw it in vista vision and only the front row was left. Had a great time but my neck hurts.

Retsina doesn’t always sit in the toy box, but when she does, she drinks Dos Equis. 🐈

A good rain.

A vibrant red rose blooms amidst lush green foliage, with a blurred park setting in the background.

Playing with hyper saturation at the intersection of industrial and green space, in Astoria.

I actually like a lot of the new Liquid Glass apple redesign, but the expected readability issues are very much present. 💽

A smartphone screen displays the time as 11:22 and shows battery, Wi-Fi, and cellular signal icons along with some text about layout positioning in the DOM. The time and battery icons overlay the content with a very light background behind it, creating small contrast. It’s hard to read.

Last week I completed Mental Health First Aid training. Good material, and a great group and instructor. I highly recommend it to anyone who’s interested.

Click, 2006 - ½

Why did I watch this? It’s some real dime store cats in the cradle shit, while being wrong minded sixteen different ways.

I love an overgrown, abandoned house. 📷

A two-story house with a balcony and wrought iron fencing is surrounded by greenery.

Another shot from Flushing Meadow Park I took of the World’s Fair Globe, this time, with some human scale. 📷🍦

A large metallic globe sculpture stands in an outdoor park setting under a clear blue sky. Next to it, in the midground, is an ice cream truck, with a short line of people waiting outside.

I visited Flushing Meadows Park this past weekend, biking from my apartment up 31st Ave. Lovely day. Snapped a few shots of some sculpture.

A large metal globe sculpture stands in a landscaped garden with flowers and greenery surrounding it. A sleek, futuristic rocket sculpture is displayed against a clear blue sky and greenery. A statue of a muscular figure reaches skyward, holding a sphere with stars, set against a backdrop of trees and a clear blue sky.
