I dug through my hard drive last weekend & realized I’d never publicly posted most of my photos form our trip ni Hoya de las Guaguas, in SLP, Mexico from 1995. Here’s the best of the bunch: Oscar rappelling the 666 foot entrance drop:

The rest of them are in this album on Flickr: https://flickr.com/photos/76711952@N00/sets/72157695570678571 https://octodon.social/media/FRa2tiKrhc3WdB_8SmA

I want to become the Johnny Appleseed of the bigtooth maple. They’re wonderful trees native to Texas that are very hardy & disease/pest resistant. Here’s mine last fall, this spring (it’s 4 this year)& a new one I bought for a friend. https://octodon.social/media/vMq4Zfh-BqJVYwrd87I https://octodon.social/media/O3JgjkPeO3kdUkk-u2M https://octodon.social/media/YeX8eQ6egaBwD7TCPHs

Cascadas de Tamul, Mexico, 1995. Believe it or not, there's a person in this for scale, just to the right of the river.

The rest of the album is here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/cvreeland/albums/72157696999229175

@Devils_Rancher A time was had: ( Me & Jeremy Burge of Emojipedia) https://octodon.social/media/BRpxMgjocE5r-DD8Pnk

"Found" (buried in Lightroom) a roll of film from 2012 that I'd never put on line. Here's the view from the McDonald observatory looking east, towards Fort Davis, Texas.

So I spent about 3 hours this afternoon making a somewhat amateurish but fun band poster: https://octodon.social/media/NrcpbDfQIxhIKAXRpQ8

@Devils_Rancher damn, I know I attached a pic to that... https://octodon.social/media/TLOHXV-0uNwpxZ4b2aE

Trying to turn my mind back towards photography- I have a backlog.

I haven't taken a picture of my workspace in quite some time. There's a distressing lack of artwork on my walls there & a distressingly large pile of unprinted shirts on the receiving dock outside my window. I don't use the PC for anything except one Pantone matching ink mixing formula system. https://octodon.social/media/EmD1bPViD9sS9PZWtOg

Been trying to take a picture every day -- some are film so I won't have something to post every day, but today I got lucky & spotted a red cockeaded woodpecker in the neighbor's tree & he was still there after I ran inside & grabbed the 300 mm lens. https://octodon.social/media/3dgLrgr-AkKmsApsVmQ

I haven’t gone away - work has just gone insane, so I don’t have much to report. Got home in time to finish up some CD inserts so I could make a few physical CDs of the last Carbon 7 album:

Made mods to the pedal bag. A & B inputs on the lower right are my Rick & My P Bass for fast switching between songs. Single out of that goes to the Radar 1-in, two out splitter that sends one signal clean to my TC 450 for clean low end. The other out from the Radar goes through my pedal chain & them to the Rockmaster tube head for the grind, bright tone & fx. I just need a 1-foot 1/4 to 1/4 cord with 1 straight & 1 90 deg. jack to compete the layout. https://octodon.social/media/GxsvKiRMqTTXzbDl5i8

Yes, I do tend to carry at least 2 cameras with me when I travel:

Oh, just dismembering a 15 yo G5 to get to the part number on the power supply, as one does on a Saturday night. https://octodon.social/media/Osr-CN1UU5gQXWaZmgM https://octodon.social/media/NNIhgubzB_4BjMn3nhY

Aha! Look what I found -- I thought there were lost to the mists of time: https://octodon.social/media/zx9Z_wyBDXwolqgRpZM

Here's the cover art: @joshmillard did the etching & photo -- I cropped it, tinkered with the color a bit & added the type. Decided to call it done before I could second-guess it. https://octodon.social/media/TyWZJj-SVbcAemG35_U
