I thought it would be fun to start posting the occasional photo as part of this journal in addition to my usual inarticulate ramblings, so here’s the first of them.

This is a squirrel I encountered on Loop Street, one of my favorite streets in San Marcos. I especially like the texture of the tree in this photo. Unfortunately, it also shows why fixed-focus lenses can be a bad thing: the depth of the composition is totally flattened out, making it harder to distinguish the subject from the background.

But I do like the tree.
