In my neighborhood, there are more photographers per square foot than there are in your neighborhood. Why don`t we have robot window cleaners yet? My route to work grows ever more complicated. Live music is back at Levitt Pavilion Dayton! And there`s a brand-new feature on the grounds.

I had an eye exam in the afternoon, so I went outside in the morning to take photos (while I could still see). It was quite wet, but I didn`t get rained on. These magnolia blossoms were frozen to death on the tree before they had a chance to fall. Each bubble has a tiny reflection of me and my camera. It wasn`t a good bug day, but I did the best I could.

Gem City Roller Derby had a double-header today. I sat where skaters were always coming toward me. Gem City had a large crowd cheering for them. The skaters knock each other down, but it`s all for fun. The home team lost both bouts, but they were all smiles.

Windows and walls. It has rained a lot lately. It`s the time of year that streets in my neighborhood are barricaded -- and it`s time for me to complain about it. The irises appreciate all the rain. I`ve had the worst spring allergies of my life, but one dose of this stuff changed my life.

There are lots of vacant buildings in downtown Dayton that need to be secured. Don`t roll your eyes at me! Between a rock and a wet place. It has rained a lot lately. Many layers of myself.

Rainy day democracy. I`m older than the cars at a classic car show. He`s a duet now (see September 12, 2014; July 13, 2015; July 1, 2016; January 16, 2020; September 15, 2021; and October 20, 2022). I think we did this before on May 3, 2024. I`m still working through the 1079-page manual to my new(est) camera.  Today I controlled it from my iPhone.

Tired out. I don`t like to work outside, but making fire is cool. Someone needs to move their crane (see May 1 above). Dignitaries from around the world are coming to Dayton later this month, and downtown is getting a facelift. About a zillion plants have appeared on Main Street.
