That window with the yellow light. Go one floor down. That was my office window for two years. (at the Tribune Tower, Chicago) #photoftheday

That’s kinda crazy

Today starts the five-day microseason, "Hibernating insects surface" 蟄虫啓戸 Sugomori mushito o hiraku This winter stonefly emerges on the St. Louis Arch on March 28, 2019.

'Protrude' is @britannica.com's Word of the Day today. Here is an Ewok protruding from a wall at the Milwaukee Art Museum. I think this hole is part of the original museum architecture designed by Eero Saarinen, as a masterpiece of Brutalism.

The inside of Vader’s helmet is a lot like the inside of C3PO. Britannica’s Word of the Day yesterday was ‘intricate’. In my Google Photos, these two images appeared next to each other for a search of ‘intricate’. #photooftheday

If you float up 1 foot per second... After one billion years, you will have traveled about one light year.

Rothko inverted and darkened to show hues and tones.

I had a feeling something was going to happen in this Chicago alley while I was carrying around a eight-foot long print of the Carina Nebula. Read the story on my blog: www.spudart.org/blog... #blueskyartshow #photooftheday

The "First Wheat Cargo" plaque on the Wrigley Building in Chicago. I placed the sticky note on the plaque as part of my "I like" street art series. (In honor of 'Cargo' being Britannica's Word of the Day for today.)

Always looking up. (From my 2018 series, "Not the Tiffany Dome" at the Chicago Cultural Center. Five more photos at www.flickr.com/photos/spuda...)

Happy 189th birthday to Chicago!

I think I might revive this series in which I duct-tape a baseball card to my shoe and walk around with it. #blueskyartshow #photooftheday

'Aleatory' is an interesting word. "From accidental causes or chance" These are my images in Google Photos for 'aleatory' (@dictionarycom.bsky.social's Word of the Day for today)

Spirals around trees. Zen garden, a thumbprint, and a vinyl record. This one comes with a blog post www.spudart.org/blog... #blueskyartshow #photooftheday

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

Have you ever memorized pi beyond the first 20 digits? I suspect I know people who have done it, but they’ve just never mentioned it. Anyone here part of the "hidden 20+" club? #blueskyartshow #photooftheday (#PiDay for when it comes) π

Whenever I need to check my toner I print a full page picture of a Wade Guyton painting

Songs that contain "Hello" in the title are fun. Try searching Spotify for: Hello

That time I spun around a tree taking photos (outside the Western Brown Line train station in Chicago) #Blueskyartshow #Photooftheday

We got a watermelon with a scar in the shape of a heart! —that, or the shape of Brazil. maybe Bosnia and Herzegovina

I will always support pedestrians over automobiles. Researchers are breaking the "car algorithm" of city planning. For decades, "Traffic Impact Assessments" only cared about cars. Time to care more about pedestrians. So great to quantify pedestrian traffic to secure better funding for humans.

Sharpened sticks on the ground? When I made tiny snowmen last month, I sharpened the sticks with a pencil sharpener, so they would fit into the snowmen more easily. What would someone think when they encounter sharpened sticks lying randomly on the ground? #blueskyartshow #photooftheday

Celebrating Estonian Independence Day. 🇪🇪 We've had our Estonian flag flying ever since Henry Sildaru won the silver medal in the Winter Olympics Freestyle Halfpipe on Saturday. Of the top three runs, two were his. It was a solid silver. #blueskyartshow #photooftheday

Yeah, that black & blue dress again. Someone posted an illustration. I totally thought the white/gold dress was not the same as the black/blue. So I made this video animation to compare the dresses. #mindblown

Chicago pizzeria Candelite has a cool photo montage of their marquee sign. @me3dia.bsky.social captured their montage, and shared it at instagram.com/p/DVH7Z5DjB3Y/ I wanted an everyman's view, so I looked up all Google Streetview captures of their marquee over the years since 2007.

When the Olympic closing ceremony was over, I walked over to our front window, and turned off the Olympic lights on our roofline. Just like the Olympic caldron being shut off, now our Olympic lights are shut off. #photooftheday

I never really promoted my street art projects all that much. Searching the word of the day in my Google Photos brings all these photos back. 'Encapsulate' is the Word of the Day from @merriam-webster.com. #blueskyartshow

1/2 Every day I look up the Word of the Day from: - Merriam-Webster - Dictionary.com - NY Times - Vocabulary.com - Brittanica - Morning Brew And I search my Google Photos for each of these words to see if anything interesting comes up....

Today, I learned there is an official LEGO item called the LEGO net. Part #71155.

'Lunation' is @dictionarycom.bsky.social's Word of the Day. Google Photos thinks the commas in this artwork are moons. (this is a selfie in "Alighiero e Boetti", 1982 by Alighiero e Boetti at the Art Institute of Chicago) www.artic.edu/artworks/158...

I am so excited that I got DRINKOBIUS-999. (McDonald's Changeable Happy Meal Toy) A Transformer with alt-mode of a soda vending machine!

So amazing that there are life forms like this. (going through my archives. April 2025 at Shedd Aquarium)

This appeared side-by-side in my Google Photos for January 2025. Looks like two forms of snow.

Is there a site that shows just art on a daily basis? Instead of scrolling through Reddit in off-times, I'd like to replace that with looking at art. Not necessarily art history type of art. But good interesting visual art presented in a visual way. Like, Instagram but without all the Instagram.

If I were an Olympic athlete, I would roast marshmallows over the Olympic cauldron. #2026Olympics #Olympics #TeamUSA #WinterOlympics Here's a list of 15 more things I would do. www.spudart.org/blog/if-you-...

'Rapscallion' is Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day. (meaning "someone who causes trouble, often in a mischievous way") Ewok picking fruit from Paul Cezanne's “The Basket of Apples“ at the Art Institute of Chicago. #blueskyartshow #photooftheday #wordoftheday #chicago #ewok #starwars

We 100% need an option to mute the announcers during figure skating. The performances are SOO much more immensely powerful when all you hear is the skates on the ice and the music. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfwF...
