Got a shot of a great spotted woodpecker. Almost gave up getting a good shot of anything today.

A plane passing overhead I saw today while taking the dog out for a long afternoon walk. Much like me, flying into the weekend after an eventful week. The vignette effect in the picture was not intentional and I like how it came out naturally.

I walked the dog this morning, same as every day. The world feels caught between winter and spring right now. There’s still frost overnight, double digits by afternoon. How am I supposed to decide what jacket to wear?

Went for a walk in the woods with the neighbors and their dachshund, and Aika. Spotted a pheasant, a fox, a red kite, and a few deer.

No One Was Driving The Car Tour

Went to see La Dispute playing their No One Was Driving The Car Tour in Leipzig today. They played King Park and Adria which made me happy.

Did a late-afteroon trip with Tilian to the big bucket-wheel excavator. He was mesmerized by the size, unfortunately it stopped operating for the day.

Song Thrush

It’s not my intention to turn this website into an animal-focused photo blog, but here we go. Spotted a song thrush this morning. First thought it was a female blackbird.

Wild Horses

We drove to see wild horses. It’s a nature reserve one hour south-west of Leipzig. It’s called the Toten Täler (Death Valleys).

Upgrade

Upgraded from an iPad Air 13" and a Mac mini (M2) as my usage centered more and more around photo editing and agentic coding. The Mac mini feels too static and the iPad too limiting.

Moon

Nadine and I shot the half moon tonight. Otherwise an ordinary day, looking forward to a packed Friday and weekend. I asked her for a text for the post, she said: This is the moon. Sometimes you see it when it’s dark, sometimes even when it’s bright. Sometimes you see it never at all. (very SMRT)
