I’ve been carrying the Ricoh GR III everywhere. It fits in a jacket pocket, which means it’s always there when something catches my eye. And once you start looking at a town through a lens — any lens, camera or legal — you can’t unsee the architecture.
Greenhouse season is here.

The Reapers are already looking aggressive. Two weeks ahead of the Ghosts, which is typical — Reapers germinate fast when you keep the heat mat at 85°F.
