Unit circle and an example problem on determining the height of a tree on a Dogfish Head Inn note pad.

Kiddo was asking me what the trigonometric functions were on her calculator app, so I tried my best! #parenting #math #trigonometry

A full moon rises from behind the buildings of lower Manhattan, most notably One World Trade Center, as seen from New Jersey.

A beaver moon rises over Manhattan. #photography #NYC #NewYork (I still am annoyed that, for various reasons, I haven’t produced the shot of the moon that I want, but each time I fail in a new way, so I guess I’m learning.)

The sun illuminates about a dozen traditional New England gravestones. All are significantly off of plumb vertical. They contrast strongly with the dark evergreens in the background.

On the way back from the beach, I stopped at the burying ground to shoot some film with the Nikonos. The oldest engraved headstone is dated 1718, but there are plain field stones that mark graves from a time closer to Elizabeth Feake Hallet's purchase of the […]

A selfie from a roap hammock. A maple trunk holding one end of the hammock is in the background.

With the wind tousling its mane and tail, a white Icelandic horse walks along a black sand beach, the sea and sky serving as backdrop.

A close up photo of a green katydid on the outside of a screen door from the inside.

The sun illuminates the curve of the black sand of ⁨Reynisfjara Beach, while the cliffside to the left remains in shadow. The Reynisdrangar sea stacks stand in silhouette. Overhead, puffins and other sea birds shuttle between mainland and ocean.

Don’t clean your screen! Those specks in the sky are all sea birds. Okay, maybe clean your screen, too. Yeah, you’ve got some schmutz there. #photography #monochrome #Iceland #bird

A dark-haired child sitting at a walnut veneer dining table with a "portable" typewriter and a book turned to a page with an illustration of a typewriter in front of her. The photo is taken from behind the child.

A band playing on the porch of a kind of Dutch colonial style house.

We love our local Grateful Dead cover band! #WideSun #PorchFest #NewJersey #GratefulDead

A brick fireplace, painted white, with a banner hung above it that reads happy birthday and a collection of birthday cards on the mantel. Above that on a blue wall are some hexagonal shelves bearing various knickknacks.

I'm 40 years old today. My wife's and daughter's birthdays are also in August, so we leave a banner up above our fireplace all month long and collect the birthday cards on the mantel. #HBD #August

A macro shot of a sweat bee on a wooden window sill. It's carapace is metallic blue and green. Lots of sun glare.

This sweat bee is the second one to get stuck in my house today. At least I was able to get a decent close-up. Both bees were safely captured and released outdoors. #macro #bees #SweatBee #bugstodon #glare

A game of Inis set up on a walnut veneer table. One of the photographer's opponents uses a smartphone.

Inis to w-inis!

A broken ratcheting screwdriver in the left hand of the photographer. The black and red handle has a big crack. A blue trailer bike and a pop up soccer goal are out of focus in the background.

There I go again, ruining the cheap tools I've had for ages. #OafLife #HulkingOut #tools

A view from an escalator of a train departing one of the stations in the Washington DC metro.

I got to ride the DC metro for the first time this weekend. It was my daughter's first time riding any subway as well. I love the uplighting and the high, curved ceilings.

A close up of a big, fat fly resting on some worn, wooden patio furniture.

What type of fly is this? I don't think I like it.

A beautiful, iridescent jumping spider I found on my gate today. I had trouble getting a shot because it just wouldn't stay still. #macro #spider #spiders #arachnid

A firefly clinging to the outside of a window screen, as seen from the inside. It's day time so it's butt isn't lighting up. The leafy, grassy green background is out of focus.

My wife and kid did not have answers when I put this question to them. #macro #firefly #lightningbug #insect #bugstodon

A Hummer H2 painted and decaled like a classic Dixie Cup. The photo is taken from inside of a car on it's right. The photo is carelessly angled with the truck at the top left, pointing at the bottom right.

I do no respect the Hummer H2, especially a lifted one, but I absolutely do respect Dixie Cup livery. #cars #DixieCup #Hummer #NewYork #I287 #SeenOnMyDrive

The instrument cluster of a running 2017 VW Golf Alltrack showing 100,000 miles on the odometer.

Passed a big milestone for my Golf today! The repair I did a couple of months ago, replacing the PCV valve, seems to have cut the oil consumption in half. Hopefully, I can keep it going for at least another 100,000 miles.
