“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.” — Ansel Adams

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

This is a week with little words. With work and going out every night to break up the ice dam on our roof, I did not have much time for commentary. I need to get into a better habit of writing every night.

Sunday, 02/08/2026: Posted photo — Unexplored.

The topic of this week’s photo project is unexplored. There are so many unexplored areas of space. I put my phone done and took an astrophotography shot. Too bad the clouds decided to come in when I was taking this photo.

Monday, 02/09/2026: Posted photo — Footprints in the Snow.

We received another three inches or so of snow last night. They plowed the parking lot at work so there was not much snow between the buildings. When I was walking from one shop to the other, I decided to take a photo of my footprints just in case it was too dark when I hiked later in the day.

Tuesday, 02/10/2026: Posted photo — Valentines Flowers.

I saw these while shopping tonight. It seems a little early to purchase flowers for Valentine’s Day. Why do we give flowers anyway. We give them because they symbolize deep, passionate love, beauty, and devotion, embodying the holiday’s essence. Strange because love lasts forever and not roses or flowers.

Wednesday, 02/11/2026: Posted photo — Starting to Wilt.

Case and point from yesterday. Saw these today and they are already starting to wilt with three days to go before Valentines Day.

Thursday, 02/12/2026: Posted photo — Lemons.

Some lemons that I saw while out shopping tonight. I do not know if anyone is waiting for a fruit photo from me every week or not. If you are, here it is.

Friday, 02/13/2026: Post photo — Sun through the Wood.

The sun was shining through some trees on our property tonight. I liked the shadows they were given off and their silhouettes.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Here is some AI information on Saint Valentine: “Saint Valentine, officially known as Saint Valentine of Rome, is a third-century Roman saint widely celebrated on February 14 and commonly associated with “courtly love.” Although not much of St. Valentine’s life is reliably known, and whether or not the stories involve two different saints by the same name is also not officially decided, it is highly agreed that St. Valentine was martyred and then buried on the Via Flaminia to the north of Rome.

In 1969, the Roman Catholic Church removed St. Valentine from the General Roman Calendar, because so little is known about him. However, the church still recognizes him as a saint, listing him in the February 14 spot of Roman Martyrolgy.”

By the way, I do not like using AI because it is like Wikipedia in my option, I cannot verify the source most of the time.

I had to get some wood this morning and had an inspiration to take this photo. It shows our wood cart and some paths that I snow blew in our yard. One path goes to our shed and the other path goes to our basement. The one to the basement is to give me access to our generator if I need to use it.

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