Reskeet with a favorite picture of yourself.

This was yesterday at an art fair in Kernville. #howtoliveinkernville

Brought to mind from a post by Canadian author Charles de Lint (who rocks by the way). Little punk and bluegrass to go with the politics of the day.

This tiny rattlesnake made its way INSIDE the house. We took it for a relocation walk. I love the look on its face…
A tiny rattle snake is coiled on a long set of tongs called a snake stick. He has brown gray and black stripes and his little head is stretched out as if to say, “where are we going?” Green trees are in the right and yellow mountains are in the distance

Damn, this is fascinating. It's as much an indictment of a pervasive police interrogation technique (the Reid technique) as of GPT. Great read.

Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music

Several dozen folks did

Some even dubbed music over the original clip.

I haven't been able to get this out of my head.

So I give you

Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.
The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.

#nightmusic

“Blues Etude” was written for the 1966 album of the same name. It's from that realm where #jazz & #blues & #boogiewoogie mix.

Ray Charles said, "Oscar Peterson could play man. That motherfucker could play his ass off.”

We made it. It's Friday night.
