An abstract gradient of green and blue tones with vertical bands.

Because I’ve now got a local database of my flickr photos it was easy to get all my tags of the year and make a wordcloud.

A word cloud with words like "fauna," "butterfly," and "kilpatrickbraes" in green on a black background.

And a slitscan (or a sort, given these are separate still images):

Abstract vertical striped pattern in green, brown, blue, and other colors

I’ve read over 50 books this year, the most since I started noting on this site. Retirement from full-time work is beginning to reap benefits. Looking through the whole list I find my scoring system does exactly relate to the ones that stick in my memory most. Here are the 5 stars anyway.

For the last 3 years I’ve tried to note one natural thing I saw each day. Here are 2025’s notes

I keep a yearly note in the drafts app and update the text file on my pi occasionally.

I’ve struggled to mange every day this year, perhaps because a lot of notes came from my commute?

I did write more in each note, which I decided on at the start of the year.
