What’s Up in the Neighborhood, May 31 2025

Hey there, just hoping you’re having a good morning and are ready to handle the weekend. I’ve finally narrowed down my four entries for the 2025 Iowa State Fair Photography Salon (will blog about it another day), and tonight I’m going to Game 2 of the Albany Patroons / New York Phoenix TBL basketball league playoffs. So it’s a full day for me.

But not so full that I can’t take a second and share the great blog posts and photographs and thoughts of my fellow bloggers and writers and photographers that populate my personal blogroll. And there they are.
