Crape Myrtles

The neighborhood where Bentley and I walk is full of Crape Myrtle trees, and they are blooming. I like these scarlet-red ones the best, but there are also white and pink varieties. While the blooms are lovely to view, they can be quite a mess if they grow over a sidewalk or patio.

Bonnie and I recently updated our cell phones. Switching phones has become incredibly easy these days. With no required store visits, eSIM support, and the convenience of cloud backups and restores, it’s a smooth transition. However, it can be somewhat emotionally disappointing once the restoration process is finished and your new phone looks and functions mostly like your old one.

This is the first cell phone I’ve owned that can capture the detailed shadows of the moon’s craters without overexposing the moon into an all-white blob. By the way, Bentley, who is constantly on the move, isn’t a reliable tripod or photographic partner. 😉
