Thank you for all the new views and likes from last week, it helps keep me inspired.

We were sitting around the cottage and saw this guy and his dog on a paddleboard. I thought it was interesting, so I took this photo with my phone. My phone does not take zoom photos in low light very well. I do not know of one that does. The phone that might is a Samsung or a newer Pixel phone. iPhones are not usually rated tops in taking photos by photographers and photography magazine reviews.

Camping out last night. I put my phone done on the dock just after dark, still in the blue hour, and took this photo. I used the astrophotography setting on my phone in which I controlled with my watch.

Just some nectarines I saw while shopping tonight. Needed a photo, took a photo.

Garlic supports cardiovascular health by lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, boosts the immune system to fight infections, protects cells from damage and inflammation, and aids digestive health by acting as a prebiotic.

This is a rose in our flower bed. It needs to be supported somehow since the stem seems very week.

Mushrooms on some old logs at our house.

Saturday, 09/06/2025: Post photo — Garter Snake.

I saw this guy when I was mowing the lawn today. I mowed early to get it done before all the rain. As I am typing this, we are having some much needed rain.

That is all for now. Until next week, be safe.
