Month: April 2022

Fog Out

It's drab and dreary outside right now. The weather reminds me of the drab grey days we had even in mid-March. I'm looking forward to some beach weather.

I captured this photograph while having breakfast muffin and a cappuccino at Sakrid Coffee Roasters in Princeton. There was a soft drizzle, and a fine mist hung. I focused the camera on catching the woman who was crossing the street. A truck pulled up and parked on the corner at about the same time that a woman sat down facing the window.

I think the photograph captures the mood I was in that morning.

March Brewer's Hour at Flounder Brewing

Each month, Flounder host a brewer's hours with head brewer Doug Duschl Jr. Doug Duschl Jr is unconventional and entertainning. The event is an opportunity to try new ales before they are released to the public, learn about Doug's approach to brewing, and drink before 11 AM.

Notes of orange zest. Slightly dank. Hop bitterness adds a nice bite. Mild malt sweetness.

Humourous Cat

This week's Lens-Artists Challenge topic is Humor. That got me thinking of some of the humourous antics of our cat, Sir Alphonso Mango. I have read that orange domestic tabby are voracious eaters. Alphie does his best to live up to those expectations. It seems he is always hungry. It is not uncommon that Alphie will attempt to stick his nose into anything you might be eating or drinking. Sometimes he enjoys the smell of my the local brewery's craft ale as much as I do.

And, of course, after the meal, Alphie wants to brush his teeth.

Alphie spends most of the day lounging around the house. Here he is practising one of his "human-like" poses.

Sometimes Alphie finds the strangest places to plop down to relax.
