#pixel phone

Yesterday I wanted to try out my new lightweight tripod but there were more people out (hell yeah) than expected and I didn't want to make it awkward for anyone. So I just held my phone really still and took a bunch of short videos, focusing on sound and movement.

The crunching while walking on the frozen creek, flowing water gurgling below the ice, and the waterfalls, all amplified by the canyon walls.

Under US$450.

I had a garden last year. I don't always, but it's not unusual. Sometimes I excuse laizez-faire attention to other things if my attention's been diverted by amateur "botanical" curiosity, or anything else, actually...

But I did notice which of the lettuces were tastier, and later after fall and winter, I also learned which ones were hardier. In the spring, I elected one of them to go to seed, right in the center of the garden. It was a tasty lettuce, and it had survived the winter. I want it to reseed itself, and come back year after year. I've had some success with that sort of thing.

First thing I learned, is that lettuce going to seed can be TALL. I put this one at seven feet or so.

I also didn't know that some of them can have attractive bunches of flowers. (Kinda like fancy dandelions.)

And one last pic for detail...
