I’m alive! And In reasonable health too. Time just escaped me.
As an apology Here’s a bunch of pictures. I bought myself one of those little macro lenses that clips onto your phone. I’m not sure why, I mean, I have my good camera. But I wanted a treat for myself. So, $40 later I’m having a blast. Per reviews a lot of those lenses are crap, but this one had great reviews, and I’m delighted:

I was able to sneak up on the cat:
And discovered a new level of neurotic about my chainmaille closures:
I did plant a small garden this year. The only two things in it are peppers (both hot and sweet) and watermelons. I massively over planted watermelons. Unless the weather goes completely screwy I’m going to have SO MANY watermelons….if you’re going to be in/near Central/Upstate NY in August, and you like watermelons, give me a shout, if I really do have a ton I’m more than willing to share!
Nice macro pictures and I really like the closeup of your cat. The chainmail comes up with a whole ‘nother dimension viewed like that except that link part – I can see how that would create neurosis – LOL.
