A Week in Photos: 2025, Part 24
June 20, 2025
Monday, June 9: Stopped at the grocery store on my way home from the dentist and saw this product I hadn’t noticed before: Mayochup Saucy Sauce. Mayochup? We call that fry sauce around these parts. When the dispensers in the lodge aren’t empty, I mix my own fry sauce on the ski days I take a break to get fries.
Tuesday, June 10: Went to get the mail rather late in the day and caught the moon rising over the lake. Looked better in person than I could capture with my phone camera but this shot is good enough to refresh my memory.
Wednesday, June 11: Went down to the city for the first meeting of a new ladies group that I hope will become a regular thing for me since my old ladies group was disbanded due to the restaurant we met at closing and some community drama. Failed to take even one picture at the place the meeting was held at despite it having a cute logo of a hops flower wearing glasses, and the shot I took of the landscape when I was stopped at a intersection on the drive was nothing special, so I decided to use this abstract outtake that looks sort of like Neopolitan ice cream to represent the day.
Thursday, June 12: Quiet day at home, much of it doing stuff in my office/guest room, which is where I was near the end of the day when I realized I didn’t have a photo yet, so a closeup of the vintage 1970s blinds in the room got the spotlight.
Friday, June 13: Opening day of summer season on the mountain. Mr. Karen and I got our passes printed then rode the lift up to the top. I was delighted to find there were still some patches of snow high up in the back bowl that had pink in them—the watermelon snow I learned about on Wikipedia the other week)—so I was able to see that phenomenon up close.
Saturday, June 14: It’s time for these yellow wildflowers to bloom. They don’t seem to have agreed on a fixed number of petals or the spikiness thereof, so not all specimens look the same.
Sunday, June 15: I did not photograph any nature on this Nature Photography Day, but I did color this image in the Happy Color app.
On this date in 2023 & 2024: No journal entries
