3/18 – SPELT
I wandered around the ‘hood to take a pic of flour, but I spelt it wrong. (BADUM, TSSS) 😀
Thank you Kelly and Serdar for your time, thought, and care you put into the Photo Scavenger Hunt again this year!
3/17 – Snort
Pollen – collected by the busy bees along the College Park Trolley Trail – makes me sneeze, sniffle, and snort!
Also, bees snort at flowers that don’t have much nectar, instead going to the ones that do 🙂
3/15 – ERUPT
Call me crazy, but methinks they should’ve closed this part of the Paint Branch Trail that goes underneath Route 1 to the University of Maryland because of the molten metal (from the bridge welding work), dropping onto the path and erupting into a thousand sparks.
3/14 – SINCE
Since Aaron Bikes is going to win with his beautiful pictures, I’m posting a pic of a water jug. 😉
3/11/24 – PESKY
The gusty wind today proved pesky, making it hard to ride, or even stay on your bike! 😉
3/7/24 – Clone
I bummed hard when I heard that someone already did the banana thing because I took a picture earlier on the ride but didn’t post it yet.
Another idea that came to mind was to clone myself. Doing it in Photoshop was easy but not allowed, so I had to figure out some other way where it was just one pic with no post-shot combining.
I tried propping my camera on my handlebars (with the help of my bar extensions), then taking a panoramic shot on my iPhone and rotating the camera by the front tire (since I had to take the picture myself with no assistance). After 10 unsuccessful tries (and singeing my eyeballs with my hyperbright headlight), none of it worked probably because it was too dark and I was too close.
I remembered that there are different ways to output a Live photo, so I took the photo in that mode with the self-timer, then after I heard it click, I shifted to the right. When saving it to my iPhone, I selected Long Exposure, and this is what the pic ends up like.
Not sure if it’s more ghost than clone though 😀
3/6/24 – TEARY
Although a different tribe (Pojoaque in New Mexico) is represented by this statue at the NMAI , I couldn’t help but think of the plight of the Cherokee and their Trail of Tears into Oklahoma.
3/5 – HUNCH
This tree is hunched over, possibly due to the occasional overflow water from the river.
3/4 – FLAME
I saw my first frog of the season on the bike trail, and it got me thinking about the “boiling frog” fable, flames, and global warming.
