Had jury duty yesterday. Fortunately, it was only about a block and a half from a location I had planned to be later that day anyway. (I wasn't called to sit on a trial, btw.) I did miss the first half of the protest event though. Figure 1. "San Diego morning glow." Leica 28mm Summicron-M...

Absolutely beautiful! :woot:

Nitrogen in soil. This video may provide some context for several previous posts.

... Continued from previous post. This pic is not part of the events directly, but I did take public transit to and from them. I snapped a pic on the way. 50mm Summilux-M ASPH. 35mm Summilux-M ASPH 35mm Summilux-M ASPH 35mm Summilux-M ASPH 35mm Summilux-M ASPH 35mm Summilux-M ASPH...

More puppies and stuff from the last couple of weeks of protests in San Diego. (It goes without saying that not all of my photos of the events are shown here.) 35mm Summilux-M ASPH 35mm Summilux-M ASPH 50mm Summilux-M ASPH 50mm Summilux-M ASPH 50mm Summilux-M ASPH To be continued ...

So I made it to my next destination which had a lot of people gathered together. I won't post most of my pictures here on PF due to the event's nature (it was inherently political -- maybe I'll post them on PF's sister site). But several people brought their puppies, so here's some pictures of...

'Took a new bus route to Balboa Park early in the morning. I missed my stop, requiring me to backtrack on foot an additional 1/2 mile (mostly) uphill to get to my planned destination. Figure 1. <Untitled> Leica Summilux-M ASPH 50mm. I blew some highlights on the puppy, dang it. -- I rarely...

Where's @zoobyshoe when you need him?

'More of an engineering joke, but we've all debugged stuff before.

Yes, it was (partially) illuminated with their red & green, holiday lighting. For other times of the year it wouldn't be quite so vibrant.

Mid December Balboa Park trip. I took the city bus again. Figure 1. Park Blvd. bus stop. I was waiting at the bus stop on the other side of the street when I took the picture. You can see my reflection in the window. Summilux-M 50mm ASPH. Figure 2. San Diego Zoo entrance. I didn't go into...

Figure 1. Emergency, makeshift "paper fortune teller," a.k.a. cootie catcher. Found in the wild. Leica Summilux-M 50mm ASPH.

Yep. I almost fell for one of these a few months ago. I clicked on a YouTube video (didn't recognize the author). The video was about some sort of modification made to the rear gunner sights of the B17 bomber in WWII. The YouTube video's graphics did not concentrate on the mechanism itself; it...

Figure 1. "All in a day's work." 50mm Summilux-M ASPH. No, that's not me. It's just somebody passing by. I'm not sure how the person is holding the guitar. I've had many acoustic guitars in my lifetime, but I've never carried one around quite like that. I suspect the person is gripping the...
