About the blog

No generative AI has been knowingly used in the writing of this blog (in spite of WordPress’s insistent offers). The images were cropped, but I do not use filters or after image editing—just what my beloved iPhone 13 mini captures. The exception is the watercolor images, which were made from my photographs by an early version of the Waterlogue app on my iPad.
