I love my balcony
alt text
It overlooks a medium-busy street in a neighborhood of Seattle, so I can still people watch. I love the oaks right in front of the building that make my view green and lush, (they do have cankerworm problems, but nothing's perfect) and even in the winter, give enough of a natural feel that the place doesn't feel sterile. It's a nice mix of urbanity and green space.
I'm on the second floor, and the balcony is this fun not-quite outside and not-quite inside in between space. Like, It's ambient temperature and noise, so I need to wear warm clothing in the winter, but I can leave things outside and not worry about them getting messed with. (within reason)
I've got a Sarracenia pitcher plant on the table. It deals perfectly well with this temperature zone, so it'll go dormant in winter and come back in the spring. There's (mostly unproductive) strawberry in one of the floor planters that gives me a few of the tastiest berries every year, and a bunch of shiso plants next to it, which are great for sushi. In the little hanging pot, there's a hens and chicks plant, and some native ferns (sword and deer ferns) in the planter on the railing. I have another planter sitting unused, and I want to hang it on the railing above the strawberries.
Any suggestions as to what I should put in there? More ferns?

I've been pretty happy with my dwarf cosmos. I did almost everything wrong and they're still putting out flowers this week.

A rural underpass in autumn with some graffiti on it saying "You are so loved"
It's true.
When I drive to work, one of the places I park has graffiti reading “I hope you heal”

When you park it's a great place to display all your knicknacks.

A space-tug sounds awesome until you see what they're going to use for the tugging. I wouldn't want that anywhere near my junk.

Paint Viking
alt text
Some idiot wearing goggles, a respirator, a headlamp, a full-body protective suit and a costume viking helmet, peering down toward the camera.
I've been deep in homeowner DIY-world the past few weeks, doing mold remediation work throughout the house, recently painting parts of our ancient basement. When I put on the full protective gear, I thought it would be funny to take a selfie for my family. I also noticed a costume viking helmet nearby, so added that to the gear. This snap was accidental, I was checking the timer settings when I got it. It makes me laugh, like I'm some demented Muppet Show character.
I've been in my atticand crawl space a ton lately while we're remodeling our kitchen so I clearly need to up my mask and eye pro game with some costume action!

Night Scene in Dreamland

"Postcard with a color picture of the Dreamland Amusement Park in Coney Island at night. hand painted over a photograph and then reproduced in color. the date is a guess; the park opened in 1905.
there is a canal with gondola on it and a bridge arching over it to give a Venetian feel. there is a pagoda building on the left for 'oriental' flavor, and I think and I think that might be a ferris wheel seen end on directly in front of us."
