Today WDPR began broadcasting from a new studio. Ludwig has moved from Main Street to Second Street. My new office has a floor to ceiling window (see June 30, 2026) which will help me tell the relative humidity. I`m able to see all sorts of things from my desk. She put the flower in her hair.

A look inside the new Charles D. Berry broadcast studio. The clock from the old studio didn`t survive one day (see March 31, 2025). The radio station is still a construction zone, but a contractor gave me a pretzel still hot from the bakery. The only interesting thing outside the window today was a bird fight. When it`s in the 90s outside, I try to stay inside.

Wegerzyn Garden upside down in a water droplet. I treat them with respect and they don`t bother me. On a hot day like this, it`s important to stay hydrated. There is always a chipmunk on this wall at Wegerzyn. I came home with many good photos and mosquito bites.

My fellow Americans. Ready for battle. The Mayor of Dayton led our neighborhood parade. I assume its tail was wagging with excitement. Are they the same dogs every year (see July 4, 2024)?

The creative neighbor. The annoying neighbor. Treat Averyone Kindly. Another shooting, another surveillance tower (see September 22, 2023). Two bees or not two bees, that is the question.

If I park in the right place, I can watch my car through my giant office window. I failed to park in the right place today, however. My new office is on the second floor, and I AM NOT going to take the elevator all the time. Walnut-nibbling squirrels make a mess of everything (see June 8, 2026). Pizza is still good on the second day.

Someone else`s car in the parking garage. Wanna buy a church? He`s worried about who the next owner might be. Discover Classical is still on the Jumbotron. Pastel evening.

Twenty years ago, I would have sat down and played. Today it`s just a prop for a photo. My workplace is still a construction zone. I`m thinkin thots about getting off the couch. The season is fluttering by. Pick yourself up, towel yourself off, and start all over again.

I was down on the farm this morning. There wasn`t much of a breeze. Have you met my friend Billy? Inside the barn: barn swallows. And in the barnyard: barnyard animals.

I guess it`s nacho lucky day. An underground fire here caused much disruption today. My final visit? I`ll need to turn in my key eventually. There`s a lot of history in this radio studio. But there`s now a newer and much better studio.

More goats (see July 9 above). More barn swallows, this time with muddy twigs to build a nest. There was a rooster crowing nearby as I took this. The finest in poultry portraiture. We occupy the same world, but very different realities.

There is always a chipmunk in this spot at Smith Garden. There is often a rabbit in this spot at Smith Garden. There is always a skipper on this plant at Smith Garden. There is never a construction project in the pond at Smith Garden. Sunday morning solitude.
