Photo & Diary

  • Beauties and Beasts

    They never stood a chance. The first few cactus flowers were devoured by ants and bees soon after they were opened. I captured this image an hour ago and am pretty sure these flowers would be gone by the end of the day. I didn’t dare to get too close as there were bees having their feast. Perhaps I should locate where my tele lens is..

  • Staying Focused

    Insanity is the only sane reaction to an insane society.

    My companion probably has noticed that I’ve been in a weird mood today. But even myself can’t say I know why.. It seems this world is full of contradictions and ultimately we are all just self-centered human beings.

  • What Happened Between Sunsets

    Today has been quite an interesting day. Lots of things happened and I’ve made progress on various tasks. Sometimes I wonder if all I’m doing has any purpose or value. I know I tend to overthink. So for now I’ll just enjoy yet another spectacular sunset..

  • Change is Going to Come..

    Today’s June 2nd, 2026. The forecast says that the weather would change later today. Guess they got it right this time..

  • First Sunset of Pride Month

    What a view to end the first day of June, the Pride Month. We know the world is far from perfect, but let’s not forget all the beautiful things around us. Have a peaceful, progressive Pride Month that celebrates love, everyone..

  • Let the Colors Shine Through

    Today is the last day of May, which means Pride Month starts tomorrow. I decorated my window with a Progress Pride flag, even though barely anyone else could see it. I display it because I’m proud of who I am, and definitely done with fear of being judged.

  • Life is Beautiful.

    Life could be is beautiful. You just have to learn how to find it..

  • Pine Cone Cactus

    Today I finally repotted the Pine Cone Cactus that were used to be in two small pots. I received them a few years ago in a small USPS padded envelope from a friend in California. They really looked like pine cones before they turned greener once I planted them in pots. Because of the low temperatures in Santa Fe, I always had them inside the house. But the reality is that they need direct sunlight, which is why they barely grew. Now they have been repotted in a larger pot, they will stay outside till the weather gets colder.

  • Singing Solo

    This is literally the only image I captured today. I was somewhat unsettled by what we saw on the way to my companion’s PT. I only wish everyone there was okay and it was all nothing..

  • The Beginning of the End

    This is our second agave that has reached its time.. While we are looking forward to seeing it bloom, it’s sad to witness the plant approaching the end of its life on earth.
