Followed this lightning bug for a bit while working on the backyard photo project. It flashed a few times to my delight.
At some point, I'll write the piece.

Petunia flower stem. Finally putting the Tokina 100mm macro to use on the Nikon N55. Autofocus not working, but I don't mind the slow pace.

A street directional sign is upside down with word 'only'. Adjacent to the sign pole is a streetlight with a portion of the lit lamp visible. The background is peppered with other lit street streetlamps and the W.W. Griest Building.

Eyeglass business sign on the side of a brick wall of a building.

Take a mental break or a mental break will take you. First develop in over a month. Felt good to get back to the lab. Albeit a bit clumsy.

Monochrome photo of a string of outdoor light bulbs with their shadow reflected on a wood fence.

Monochrome image of a Spanish food truck covered with graffiti sits near a payphone cubby. The truck's window shades are up with its title 'La Cherca Fritura". Behind the payphone lies a row of houses.

Discovered some new sights and streets during a drizzly walk. Also got to take a closer look at this food truck and notched another payphone find.
