“Pretty Tea” Cedar Park, 2023

My oldest son and his girlfriend love bubble tea, and they often offer to bring Mariko and me some when they go out. Tonight, I tried a colorful tea that tasted more like lemonade, and I couldn’t resist taking a photo of it before I stirred it up. It was so pretty!

“Pen Holder” Cedar Park, 2023

My pen collection is getting smaller as I look to see what I haven’t used and will probably never use. I have gotten some as gifts or just picked them up in random places, which is not good for someone who wants to declutter. I need to get better at this. 😁

A Bit of Fishing

“Tiny Blue Gill” Cedar Park, 2023

I went fishing at the local lake this morning. I decided to target bluegill, which are a high-probability fish, instead of bass, which I have never caught before. I caught a small one right away, but I wasn’t able to catch any larger ones. The fishing spot got crowded pretty quickly after a boy scout troop arrived, so I packed up my gear and went for a ride before heading home. It was still a fun little trip, and I’m glad I got to catch a bluegill. 🎣
