Hello!
Today’s photo is of some new fishing bait that I bought at the sporting goods store. These are used to catch bass, of which I have only caught a couple in my life. When I was growing up, my parents took us fishing a lot, but almost all of the freshwater fishing was done for trout. So, bass fishing is new and exciting! 🎣
There are a couple lakes nearby here, but the bass are not very aggressive and the closest lake has a reputation of being very difficult to catch fish in. But, fishing is not all about catching the fish. I enjoy being in the outdoors, seeing the water, and just relaxing. 😎
I bought a new fishing license tonight so I am set for the next year (for freshwater). There is a neighborhood pond just a minute drive from our house that people fish from so I am excited about giving that a go!

こんばんは！
I am very tired and falling asleep, but I wanted to post this photo, which is of my Pinky:St figurine, as seen through the viewfinder of my Fujifilm X100T camera, but backwards. As if she were the photographer. If you are on Instagram, feel free to follow me there!
I hope you had a nice Thursday. Can you believe it’s already September?

Today I worked from home, which is nice to do once in a while. I don’t know if I am more productive at home or in the office, but I can say that it is a different kind of productivity. At the office, there’s always a lot of urgent matters that come up and need my attention, but when I work from home, it’s usually pretty worry-free.
Of course, there are days that are just crazy, but the past few times I’ve worked from home, the email has been quiet and I can focus on my work. It’s nice!! But of course, it is kind of lonely too. And I like the coffee ☕, tea 🍵, and fizzy water at the office.
Today’s photo is of my work-space at home. I spent some time tidying up and throwing stuff out, and I think it made a big difference so I wanted to share with a picture! But when I saw the photo, I realized that I still had a lot to do so I cleaned up more, and now it is getting really nice. 😄
You can see my work laptop on the left side. I’ll do most of my work there, and when I face that direction, I can look out the window which is great. If it’s a sunny day, it brightens my mood and gives me energy.
If I need to work in InDesign, I’ll switch over to my desktop computer with large monitor and do the work, then transfer it back to the laptop via Dropbox or a USB stick. It’s a convenient set-up! But most of the time, the desktop computer is playing music while I work. 🎵

This morning I took my son to school early because of his band practice. I snapped this photo of the lovely sunrise and wanted to share. I hope you had a great day!

こんばんは！How’s it going?
I’m always amazed that the cats can be comfortable enough to sleep just about anywhere. In the photo above, Anko is taking a nap on top of Lani’s crate. Even though there is a thin blanket on top, the wire crate can’t be that comfortable, can it? 🐱
But the cats’ favorite place to lounge is on the handlebars of our exercise bike. Sometimes both of them get up there and take naps together. I guess that perch is in the prime location, right in the middle of the living room so they can have a view of the kitchen, the breakfast area, the aquarium, and their room. And maybe they feel safe up there since Lani cannot bother them! 🐶

こんばんは！How’s it going?
I read something the other day that I thought was cool. It went something like, “It’s not a setback, it’s a plot twist.” I haven’t had many setbacks in my life, but it’s fun to think of your life as a story, isn’t it?
I know that the quote is meant to help someone who is hurt or grieving, but even when a good thing happens to you, it is a major event in your own plot and it may be worthwhile to spend some time thinking about it.
Or find things to be thankful for.
Or building upon what happened and learning from it.
The protagonists in stories are affected by these major plot events and it shapes what they do and how they think. As protagonists in our own stories, it might be healthy to take a look at our own script as it is being written and evaluate it from time to time.
Maybe this is a naive way of thinking, but it’s fun to ponder these things sometimes.
Today’s photo is of the sunset as seen from our house. I really love the clouds around Austin these past several days.
I hope you had a refreshing weekend, and let’s have a great week, wherever the plot takes you.
Take care,
– B

My camera & photos
I use a Fujifilm X-series camera for most of the photos on this site and my Instagram. Why not pick one up for yourself?
