daily slice-of-life photo blog of a Gen-X dad
Hello!
Today’s photo is of my PADI diving certification card, which I received waaaay back in 1996, while on our honeymoon in the South Pacific. I have the card with me because I am starting my vacation tomorrow in Miami! 🌴 Most of the time we’ll be cruising in the Caribbean, so I honestly doubt we’ll have the chance to scuba, but it’s good to be prepared, isn’t it?
Well, more from Miami if I can fit in the time to blog!
Take care,

Tonight’s photo is of our kitchen island, which doesn’t look too messy when everything is blurry!
Since my family is away, the island hasn’t been used for preparing food, but rather I’ve been using it as a chemistry lab. And by that, I mean that the island is where I have been testing the aquarium water. 😜 In the photo, you might be able to make out the 10 ml syringe, the colorful booklet to check the water quality, and the log book.
It’s almost vacation time for me. Just one more day of work and then I am outta here!
Talk to you later.

こんばんは！Hello, how’s it going?
Today, the clouds seemed to go on forever. I’m not sure if this year is any different as far as beautiful cloud days or if I am just looking for them more, but I’m definitely enjoying it! I hope it continues. ☁️
I hope you had a nice day.
おやすみなさい！

It’s only Wednesday, but we’re halfway there. Turn it up if you are able!
こんばんは！Hi all, how’s it going today?
Tonight’s photo is of the sunset taken from the window at home.
I wasn’t happy with the color that was captured, but I did like the shapes of the clouds, so I decided I would make it into a black and white image. I used Nik Silver Efex Pro to create it, and applied one of the fantastic presets that they have available (I think this one is “Film Noir 2”). I then tweaked the vignette a bit and voila!
Have a nice evening!
おやすみなさい！
