It doesn't matter how many people are using #Mastodon at this moment. It has reached enough of a level of critical mass that the idea will carry forward and be improved. That's enough gas to get to the next station.
I love moss and I love frogs and I just discovered the cutest thing in existence: the Vietnamese moss frog 🤗
Never forget, a 13-year study of a dozen cities found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

Anyhow. I present the evidence for your perusal. You're welcome.
Had to bimble back to the town square I photographed in the rain a week or so ago. Got a much better shot this time, partly due to me getting to grips with the camera, but mainly the sun was shining and the old church shines in the sunlight.
I spend a lot of time trying to think my way around such things, convinced there must be a clever solution to be found, but it's rare for it to pay off so directly
