Long day today battling the Winter weather, I’m beat.
Made it through MDW unscathed and ontime which still amazes me. The whole day was worth it because of some Pad Thai. I just gotta say, if you are ever in Berkeley, CA. You have to stop at IMM Thai Street Food. It was hands down the best Pad Thai I’ve ever had in my life. Fresh rolls were outstanding and look at that homemade thick peanut sauce. I’ve fallen in love with food.
Note: this is my first food post on 365Pixels, I’m generally not inclined to post food pics, but imm Thai Street Food deserves the shoutout and a rightful place on this blog.
The hard working, kind people at imm’s made my day. I so appreciate you.

I got to meet Lily today. I don’t know the first thing about horses, but it was a pleasure to meet and spend some time with Lily today. Lily really likes to lick your hands and arms. I was covered in saliva by the end of the meeting. She was getting some saddle training today, no riders, just getting used to the saddle.

Beautiful day in Seattle: crisp air, blue water, and the smell of freshly roasted coffee wafting from all the coffee shops.

I love it when I get my daily shot early. Got up in San Diego at 03:30, had a cup of coffee on the veranda and saw my shot for the day, just staring at me. I took about 13 shots trying different levels of Night Mode with the iPhone. All shots handheld. I’m always amazed at how well it does. See below for the color shot.

Clouds are scattered across a vast expanse of water, creating a dynamic aerial view.
I couldn’t decide between the two, so I’m posting both. I’m just a fan of the low-contrast ’70s-style look right now.

Stripped of color, wing, and fuselage, the wingtip becomes pure geometry. Every curve exists for a reason, yet, in black and white, to this photographer’s eye, the engineering reads as sculpture first, performance second.
Some technical info just because:
Typical numbers:
- Induced drag reduction: ~ 4–6%
- Fuel burn reduction: ~ 1.5–2.5% on average missions
- Range increase: ~ 100–200 NM
- Climb performance: Improved, especially hot-and-high
Key aerodynamic goals:
- Slow down the spanwise flow of air toward the tip
- Weaken the vortex
- Spread pressure recovery over distance instead of dumping it all at the tip

Welcome to 2026 (1/365)
Started the new year off right with a early morning hike. The sun rays coming through the clouds was most excellent. iPhone shot and processed.
2025 was my first year doing a 365 blog. It took a while to get into the swing; I missed 63 days. It has been a lot of fun, and I’m energized to start 2026 with new photography habits and flows to have a better year and reduce that missed-day count.
Take more pictures!
