I’m still not sick of these weird little seed pods. This time I photographed it sitting on the concrete sidewalk, then inverted the image, desaturated and darkened it, and ran it through a faux Tintype app.

Mani-Pedi Time
We hate nail trims, oh yes, we do. Hate them with the heat of a thousand suns. Peanut butter makes them tolerable, though.

Brush Pen Fix
If you use brush tip felt pens, this might be helpful. When the tip gets mushy or worn or frayed, but there’s still ink left in the pen, try pulling out the tip and reversing it. I used my bare hands, but if you don’t want to get ink on your fingers, you could use tweezers or needle-nose pliers to gently remove, flip, and reinsert the tip.
If you look closely, you can see that the tip on the right end is worn, but the tip on the left end is in pristine condition.
I remember doing this with cheap felt tip markers, when I was a kid. I don’t know why it never occurred to me to do it with “grown up” felt tip pens. (Via Roz Wound Up, a blog I a million percent recommend if you have any interest in arting.)

Hello, morning!
Ice Cream Emergency
Yes, dogs have them, too.
Leaves
I saw these while walking to my car after work. I love the mottled deep reds and greens.
Fire Alarm

Herman B Wells Library
As long as the construction in the library doesn’t end (and it never, ever, ever will), we will have periodic false fire alarms. This one only lasted a few minutes, which was a shame, because it’s a beautiful day.
Sun Reflecting Off Clouds in the West
I missed the sunrise this morning, but the view to the west, a little bit later, was spectacular.
