crab apple tree in bloom by the Chicago River and skyline
red leaf plum tree in bloom with white and pink flowers
Lilac bush absolutely ripping it
very pink spring day amplified by a great post-rain sunset in Chicago.
I can smell the laurel from here!
The Chicago skyline taken from an airplane about to land at O'Hare International Airport. It's a clear evening with very little haze.

View from an airplane on the ground of some taxiways against the evening sky, some wispy clouds, and a plane is shown in the distance taking off.
Chicago is looking pretty this evening.
I mostly wasn't looking at social media or the news today and so hadn't looked at the list of Hugo finalists until now. Nifty list of works! Happy to see so many people I know on the list. Congratulations to all.

For my own wellbeing, sometimes it's best to completely ignore harsh reality & focus exclusively on one or all of our 3 pets.
In this case it's our youngest, Trixie (a/k/a Bat-Mite, a/k/a Spawn of Satan), who I love dearly. ♥️ 🐶

"This is an important thing to think about."
Finally, the movie that the studio that’s starts with the letter W and B didn’t want us to see will be releasing their first trailer tomorrow. I can’t wait to talk about it soon.
We're thrilled to announce that @honorszombie.bsky.social and Tucker Johnson's #StubbornBeast, starring Paul F. Tompkins, Meredith Salenger, Sam Clifford, Bill Corbett, Lorelai Linklater, and Autumn Noel, is beginning production this month.
This one goes out to @jimgabrielmemorial.bsky.social love you buddy. Miss you terribly.

I kicked in a little extra to make sure @honorszombie.bsky.social gets a proper pair of pants to wear when he directs his new film. gofund.me/532b06e93
The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...
Poor Alfred passed away aged 14.
He was a brilliant family dog.
This morning’s pretty sky 🌞🩷
Paint what you love! ❤️ 🎨
My dad was a meteorologist and my mom was an artist. Not surprisingly I paint a lot of storms. 😊
music nerds: I'm trying to remember the name of a modern piano piece consisting of only (I think) root/fifth notes played loudly and continuously for an extended period, with the sustain pedal open. Anyone know what this is?
A forever thank you to Roger Ebert for everything.

From a high pass along the Möðrudalsleið in northern Iceland, a vast highland landscape unfolds — ash-toned hills rolling into an open plain, dotted with low volcanic ridges and distant peaks dissolving into a cool blue haze. Thin ribbons of green hint at hidden watercourses, while heavy, layered clouds drift low overhead, casting shifting light across the quiet, windswept expanse of the Icelandic Highlands.
The wind never settles here and your thoughts grow lighter with it — drifting, softening, gently losing themselves in the vast.

Blue sky with haze, filmy clouds, and some more solid clouds at lower left. The sun is out of the frame on the right.
Sunday's sky. Sunlit clouds and haze.
Found by our delighted son, not sure where.
Ed is correct. In fact Davy at first suggested "alumium" before switching to "aluminum". Anyway, nice to meet you too.
Ted Chiang once told our Clarion West class that our taste for stories would outstrip our talent for a good while, but that we would eventually catch up to it if we kept writing.
Just don’t give up. That’s all you have to do.

A hiking path up a mountain
I have been wanting to hike for YEARS but unable because of my spine injury.
It’s taken one year and four months of determination and working hard on my mobility, but today I DID IT.
I could cry. You people have no idea. I never, ever thought I’d be able to do anything like that ever again. ❤️
