A few days ago I posted a photo of my favorite room (sunroom) in the house. Today, I'm posting our family room. My wife, son, and I gather here every night for our evening meal, and to watch a show or two. Currently we are watching Anthony Bourdains - Parts Unknown(a wonderful cultural food show), and Boston Legal(one of my favorite dramedy's of all time). The sunroom entrance is to the right, and the kitchen is to the left. And oh yeah, that's Benjamin(Ben) on the couch.😊

Sure does , but it's not . It's in the Japanese Garden located in Balboa Park in San Diego . Really nicely done . Walking around I could easily imagine I was somewhere in Japan . Lack of crowds helped a lot , too.
Yesterday I posted a photo of a red-bellied sapsucker and mentioned the tendency for sapsuckers to create these tidy grids of holes. Here’s a photo of a yellow-bellied sapsucker:
This bird had been working in this tree in Eagan, MN outside my workplace for days. Look at all those holes!

No, he’s methodically searching for sap to drink.
Though that would be awesome if somehow it established a pecking order, like if female sapsuckers were more likely to breed with males that could show endurance in the search for food. Perhaps it serves both purposes.
Been playing around a bit with a borrowed Canon T4i. The little Lumix does such a good job rendering jpegs that I don't bother with RAW. The Canon is different. I can definitely get a better final image starting with the RAW. Even then I wound up having to apply a Gaussian blur to that blue sky.

what was the purpose for blurring the sky?
Got rid of a bit of digital noise. This despite not going to jpeg until I had completed all manipulations. The noise was perhaps introduced, or more likely slightly emphasized, when I did a soft-light overlay to boost the contrast a bit. Not reducing image size to exactly 25% of original may also have had some effect, but past experience with other cameras would suggest this was not the cause.
Wasn't really bad but I found it irritating.

B&W photo contest had me experimenting with lots of images and really enjoying it.

One last view of Siesta Key beach from June 2022 and time to move on to other photos ;-)
Coming home, I had our dog at the door and "him" on the branch both waiting for me to come back.
Yeah, my pantry doesn't look like that. I won't be posting a photo of mine.😊
my builder thought i was crazy when i asked him to put in narrow shelves there; it was otherwise going to be deadspace because of the window on the wall (not shown, but obviously how the light is coming into this photo). but the window prevented anything wider from fitting.
"but what can you put there??"
i could not live without those shelves.
