“Creature” Cedar Park, 2023
I’m not sure what this is all about, but I like it.

Attention Seeker
“Attention Seeker” Cedar Park, 2023
Today I had a meeting and of course as soon as it got close to starting, both Lani and Yuzu needed my attention. It’s so strange how they “know” a meeting is coming (especially the dog) and start being loud and needy.
Yuzu contributed by walking on the laptop keyboard and getting in front of the camera. I don’t know how disruptive she was since I have self-view turned off in Zoom, but I’m sure she had a positive impact on the meeting. :)
I hope you had a great day.
Bicycle Photos
“Piplup at Night” Cedar Park, 2023
I’ve recently started following a several people on Twitter who ride and post cool photos of their Brompton (and other folding) bicycles and I thought I would give it a try too. Since I have a ginormous Borough bag for the front of Piplup, it’s easy to carry my tripod and a camera. So this evening I went for a ride around the neighborhood and took a night shot.
I think it came out okay – not the best of backgrounds, but not bad for the first shot. For these bicycle photos, I am going to use Mariko’s old Olympus E-PL9 camera since it has a wide-angle 9-16 mm (18-32 mm equiv.) lens. I am not familiar with the Olympus menu system so it’s a little frustrating to use but I love all cameras so it’s still fun.
I’m looking forward to taking more photos while bicycling! Follow me on Twitter if you’d like.

Valentines Fondue
“Fondue for Two” Cedar Park, 2023
One of our family traditions is a cheese fondue dinner for Valentines Day. I guess it’s somewhat popular here in the US, or at least it used to be. Anyway, this year it was just Mariko and I since both kids are away at school, so for the first time, we had mushrooms with our fondue. So yummy!
Earlier in the day, I went to pick up a bouquet of flowers, and the curbside delivery lady also gave me a single red rose (and a sparkling water). It’s maybe the first time I’ve ever received a rose from a girl! I mentioned this to my friend, and he said that he read that 95% of men only receive flowers at their funeral. I don’t know if that’s true, but it seem plausible. So it’s nice that I’ve joined the 5%. :)
Not 100%
“Anko Shadow” Cedar Park, 2023
Today I wasn’t feeling well, so I took the afternoon off from work. I was pretty tired and a little congested. Feels like allergies I think… Anyways, I am sure I’ll feel better tomorrow, and hopefully by this evening! I usually bounce back pretty quickly. :)
Here’s a cute photo of Anko and her shadow. Enjoy!
