📷 Exploring the Capabilities of the Fujifilm X-E5 at Night
A bat hangs upside down, its wings wrapped around its body. It's illuminated by red lighting against a dark background, highlighting its fur and focused gaze.
I took my new Fujifilm X-E5 out for a spin last night. Not the best conditions for me since shooting lights in the dark is really hard and I’m terrible at it. I got some “okay” shots, but more importantly got to see what a difference a 40MP sensor makes compared with my earlieroriginal ↗

📷 Exploring the Columbus Zoo Lantern Festival
A red photo booth labeled "PHOTOS" stands outdoors near trees, offering prints in minutes. Next, a person smiles, taking a selfie outside near benches and rocky structures.
We went to the Columbus Zoo Lantern Festival tonight. Here are a couple of pics taken with my front-and-back shortcut (found a photo booth!) and one preview pic from my new Fujifilm X-E5. More of those pics to come soon!

📷 Tropical Spritzer Celebrates 50 Years of JAWS
A bottle with a red cap displays blue liquid and a shark image, with “JAWS” in bold red letters. It stands on a kitchen counter next to two wine glasses.
Stopped by World Market today to pick up a few things and stumbled on this “tropical-flavored” spritzer commemorating the 50th anniversary of the release of JAWS. Naturally, I grabbed a bottle. It tastes pretty good (although the spouse doesn’t agree) and it’s blue!

It’s 90°F and beautifully sunny.
I grab my hat and sunglasses and head out for my lunchtime walk.
I walk to Tropical Smoothie, put in my order, wait, then ready to go. All in pretty quick time.
I turn to face the door.
The skies have opened and it’s coming down in buckets.
So I’m sitting here enjoying my smoothie while I wait for the sunshine to return.

I wasn’t sure at first, but there’s definitely new growth since my tiny Giant Saguaro came home almost a year ago. So exciting!
It’s been nearly a year since this little guy came home with me from Arizona. I’ve been watering it once a month or so, but the Giant Saguaro grows so slowly it just pretty much always looks the same.
It’s a beautiful sunny day here, and it’s going to be a hot one today so I thought I should take it out to the patio foriginal ↗

During my walk along the Malecón in Puerto Vallarta’s Centro district, I stopped into Tierra Huichol, a shop that sells traditional Huichol (aka Wixárika) folk art, including some truly stunning beadwork pieces.
