I am so sorry. I hear you.

Love the speed.

Shoshone Falls February 6, 2026. Barely any water.

The last time I saw these, maybe 3 years ago, these falls were overflowing. Today, the middle of winter, and just a couple small falls

Tree branch caught in the soft light of the winter sun

I love the glow of the winter sun. It just hits differently...more gentle, more alert.

A.I. modified Wolf Moon

Wolf Moon last night
I thought to enhance it with A.I. I was expecting something more because of the hype. For this pic, it just sharpened and lightened it a
bit.

Santa decorations come back to life at night

Santa resurrected

Multiple Santa holiday inflatables lying face down on the ground.

Santa inflatable lying flat on the ground and not moving. Looks like a wipeout.

Santa graveyard
This always cracks me up. These inflatables come to life at night. But during the day, they look like you just walked into a Santa hit.

The midway of a county fair...always so colorful.

Bullriding at a County Fair. Young bulls just learning to buck are brought in to these events to practice. The risk to the riders is these bulls lose their balance alot and fall on the riders.

A Ferris wheel.
