Looks like I may have gotten some dust on my lens during this shoot. Makes for the perfect spooky vibe for UFO sightings. Now where did I put my lens cleaner?

Electric boxes at a kids baseball field in a small river town in Missouri. This covered panel may control all the lights for the field and it appears someone forgot to put the lock back on.

Time for a morning stroll through Rivers Edge.

This may be a bit of a sliding stretch to say this is a #NotBosch. Besides looking out for Teletubbies.

“Pastel Remorse”, September 29, 2026, Kinetic Park, Dardenne Prairie, Missouri, @ratkeydesigns.bsky.social.

Though it’s not part of a triptych, the color and whimsy of this photo is what keeps bringing me back to Hierobymus Bosch "The Garden of Earthly Delights", 1490-1510. Referring mostly to the center panel of the triptych.

Besides the extremely steep inclines of these slides, any small child to use them would definitely experience hell at the end of it.

A contender for the #BlueSkyArtShow + #3rdPlace.

This could have been a good shot if I would have been less stubborn about using shutter priority and actually looked at the histogram.

Remember: Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints, kill nothing but time.

But what to do and where to go? That may take some time to think about.

Saw this sign the last time I went to one of my favorite parks down a trial I normally don’t take. This trail is also usually inaccessible due to overgrowth. Would have been nice if this warning sign was posted anywhere else in the park near the stream that runs through the entire park. The sign reads as follows: “Possible Sewage Overflow
Exposure to Water May Cause Iliness
-LEASE REPORT FOUL ODORS. UNUSUAL PISCOLORATION.
FLOW FROM OUTFALL DURING ORY WEATHER”. Welcome to your local American city, safety is only a secondary concern.

I almost forgot about #FlyDay!
I saw what I think is a Monarch a few days ago at a local park. Though I have been fooled before by all the look a-likes out there.

“Absurd Vacancy”, July 18, 2026, St. Louis Galleria Parking Garage, @ratkeydesigns.bsky.social.

This photo shot through the window of the pedestrian foot path to the parking garage is almost too clear or too real. It seems surreal, as if the world is about to melt away as in Salvador Dalí “The Persistence of Memory” from 1931. Or maybe it’s just the summer heat.

It’s #FireHydrantFriday!

This one comes to you from Webster Groves, Missouri. Which to make it all the more confusing is still St. Louis.
