These blue bubbles in my Dawn dishwashing liquid are mesmerizing. Am I the only one that finds this relaxing? Sorry for the slight wobble in the video, it’s hard sometimes to hold the phone still when recording in macro.

It felt like an earthquake but it was really a sonic boom FROM A METEOR! Felt all around northeast Ohio. The National Weather Service detected it on the GOES satellite lightning tracker. Note the green flash on this short video. Weird!

From my Duolingo Spanish lesson this morning - a really handy sentence! I’m sure it’s a phrase that I will use often, in fact, I’d like to learn it in as many languages as possible…

Here’s a segment of the weekly email from Rep Dave Joyce (OH 14) on his vote for “Save America”. He misrepresents what is expected of all voters in order to vote, and claims the process for women/people with “name discrepancies” will be made “seamless”. 1/2

This move brings the Washington Post closer to its demise, a downhill trajectory Bezos started by not endorsing Kamala Harris. But Bezos has tons of money for Trump’s vanity project. Sad day. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/b...

Frost on our garage door window this morning; it got to -9° last night!

What an embarrassment is Trump’s speech in Davos. Full of whining, false information, arrogance, grudges, lies, insults…and he’s not done yet. If he’s trying to alienate the US from the world he’s doing a good job.

I don’t recall ever getting both an “emergency alert” alarm and an “imminent threat alert” alarm for a snow storm but we got one today for a quickly formed snow squall that moved across NE Ohio right before noon. One minute we had sun, the next, it looked like a blizzard. We also heard thunder!

Very snowy and cold here today. Here’s a puffed-up cardinal taking a rest in my oak tree while the snow continues.

One more pic of big waves on Lake Erie on Monday. (It was so gray that day that this picture looks black and white. ) Have a Happy New Year everyone!

Snow, freezing cold, gale force winds, gray skies, a Lake Erie seiche pushing Lake Erie eastward, big waves - what better time to go to the beach ? Impossible to stay standing when out in the open - winds gusting to nearly 60 mph - but still got to photograph the turbulent lake.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas Law & Order and SVU fans – I posted pics on my website for the January 8. 2026 crossover event. Links are in the comments. Have a great holiday season everyone!

Going through old photo files, I found this one from 2015 that I forgot I’d taken. It’s a pier in Eastlake, Ohio by the old power plant, which I think was still operating at the time. Steam was rising from the warm water discharge, but everything else was icy. This photo made me shiver with cold.

Some winter scenes today - a layer of ice sparkled on tree branches; an eastern bluebird waits in a tree; a bare oak tree (black and white)

Double exposure - autumn leaves Happy Thanksgiving!

Any day now, I expect Gort and Klaatu to return to Washington DC to take control and lay down the law. Based on the message they delivered from their original visit, they won't take kindly to the current administration. (I colorized a still from "The Day The Earth Stood Still" - 1951 version.)

Wanted to check out the local fall color - it’s dismal this year so far. Here are some photos from Chagrin River park - at least for one photo we had some bright sun. Otherwise everything looks muted and dull.

And now for something completely different - an infrared photo of the pedestrian bridge over the Chagrin River, Lake County Ohio. Some normal fall photos to follow soon

Here’s the FULL speech from Ronald Reagan. Trump can have his tantrum, but Reagan’s own words prove Trump wrong.The Canadian ad may have shifted the order of some sentences, but if you hear the whole speech, the ad doesn’t change what Reagan said, and sounds worse for Trump. youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc
