Seattle looking a big smokey tonight.

Been a while since I've posted a cat photo. Here is Minnie allowing me to photograph her tonight. It was definitely a one-and-done situation, and I am blessed to have had this opportunity. 🐈😻

The smoke was heavy in Seattle today. Tough to breathe, but the colors at sunset were gorgeous. 📷 Fujifilm X-E5 + 7artisans 35mm f/1.2

Kind of obsessing over our monstera thai constellation. The newest leaf (top of the photo) came in with a little bit of funk, and it's that much cooler.

First September sunset in Seattle was a slightly smokey one.

Microsoft workers and community members are gathering in Redmond, WA for the third day in a row to protest the company’s ties to the Israeli military. They have set up a vigil to honor the 60,000+ Palestinians who have been killed by Israel in Gaza over the last 22 months.

Very happy with the progress of my cabinet plants!

I am (afaik) safe from the today's massive Microsoft layoffs, but several friends & colleagues were let go this morning. Let me know if you know of any job openings. I've been in this industry a long time, and I know that the only thing that keeps people going is support from the community.

Picked up this gorgeous alocasia polly at Urban Feed & Garden today. I know this is a relatively common alocasia, but I could not pass up this beauty. Bonus: I found 3 giant corms when I was checking the soil. Extra plants!

Loving this new leaf that just came in on my alocasia frydek variegata. This particular plant was grown from a corm, and it has consistently amazed me with its cool variegation patterns and it's ability to maintain at least 4-5 leaves at a time. My other alocasias need to catch up.

Tech and biz news have been reporting on more layoffs that will happen at Microsoft soon. Washington WARN confirms the numbers. I'm not a MSFT FTE, but I lead a team that works with an Xbox game studio. Not sure how this will affect our work. The next couple of weeks are going to suck.

I was photographing gay bingo and people asked if I needed some sparkles and I said why not and then my camera got decorated with rhinestones. I'm not complaining.

Three mirror selfies at Fremont Studios. Appreciate the words of encouragement.

It's so cool that the Wonder Bread sign is just down the hall from our apartment. Such a cool local landmark in the Central District. #seattle

We have a pretty spectacular view from our apartment. Very fortunate to live in #Seattle. 📷 Fujifilm X100VI

Grabbing a bag of @dicksdrivein.bsky.social during dinner break for tonight's freelance gig. Deluxe, fries, and a Coke hit just right. #seattle

I've been pretty good about not adding a ton of new plants lately, but I couldn't resist these two relatively rare plants I found at Swanson's Nursery in Seattle: Philodendron caramel pluto and monstera lechleriana variegated. They are so cool!

Had to drop off our car in Bellevue for repairs. Took the brand new 2 line from Bel-Red to South Bellevue then the 550 back into Seattle and then the street car and a bus home. It was so relaxing and easy. @sound-transit.bsky.social @kingcountymetro.bsky.social

The northeast jungle shelf is all setup for the summer. #plants

Minnie is so dang cute.

Lunchtime stop at Uwajimaya in Seattle.

Gorgeous day for a visit to Seattle Center.

New plant cabinet is all setup! Perfect for my more precious plants that need to be protected from the cats. Also, it looks cool.

Spring is springing in Seattle.

Just a little rain in Seattle. It wasn't the crazy storm that was forecasted, but it was still kind of nice. There was also lightning, though I wasn't able to capture anything.

Good morning Seattle! We’re ready for the storm!

It was unusually warm in Seattle today, and the forecast tomorrow calls for some volatile weather. Tonight's sunset might be the calm before the storm. Fujifilm X100VI

Back from another event gig. I got to hear some wonderful stories and poetry. I hung out with cool people. And I got a couple of shots of whisky and some cake at the end of the event. Not a bad way to spend a Friday night.
