Some misc fun from the last two weeks.
Proper voyaging will be had this weekend.
We seek a 2nd audience with a certain Mountain. Here's hoping the cloud cover is advantageous.

SURPRISE!
Here's a DAISY WALLPAPER! ❁
Wasn't on your agenda today, was it, to stumble across a daisy wallpaper?
What a monument to nature, peace and the tenacity of the wildflower, and all that.
Were my server not... in America, I may have the upload speed to supply a higher resolution of this image, however, yeah, nah. 1080p is God's chosen resolution for speed and efficiency so that's where we're at.

"There's a WHAT behind the trailer?"
----------
My landlord told me there was a creek about 1/4 of a mile behind the property and a trail that went all through the woods, at a peak of property lines owned by 3-4 different people and the state, collectively creating a general no-man's land of "forest" that no one really claims, but those able, curious or interested, wander around in, drive 4x4's through and, as I have, "vibe".
Areas like this exist all over North Carolina and it was common where I grew up for older folk to own a few acres of property, but then ignore the entire back half of it like it isn't there. That's all well and good, curious people, weird folk and kids on journeys to find themselves make good use of these areas throughout their lives.
The first four photos are of the creek area I found, actually, what part of it I walked... because there's actually far more I didn't have time or energy to deal with today, but I did walk a fair half mile of it.
You know, if a guy wanted to take a tent out there and go camping, he might just enjoy that. Hm... that's a fun thought.
Someone aught to do that.

Highpoint Lake Rematch* and The Busted Heel
----------
Yesterday night at work, I grabbed my toolbox to put it up and ran over the back of the heel of my foot. That night, I fantasized about the next morning, this past Thursday, a sunny, slightly-hazy spring day, where I could venture to places at the HighPoint lake trail I had missed previously... after being at work for 10 hours, awake for 14 hours, with a busted up heel. I am a stubborn person.
Even so, some part of me is entirely unaware that it's early spring and that there really isn't much in the way of things to take photos of at the moment other than fisherman taking advantage of the weather-changes as fish move from place to place, but even without a camera, I'd still be hiking, and there were a few good shots here and there... but really, I didn't consider this much of a win day photo-wise, I just had fun hiking lol. ow... yeah, my heel hurts.
I think this area will be a lot better in the mid-fall or late spring when flowers are everywhere, or possibly when it gets damp for mushroom hunting. There are deer here, although I'm not skilled enough, nor do I have the lens (you camera guys know "the lens") to get a deer reliably but there were a few running around.
For now, at least as far as hiking photos go, I need to let Spring bake a bit. There are some local targets to go after around my house tomorrow to get. Apparently our neighbor has a HUUUUGE redbud tree in their front yard that just bloomed all-magenta.
Next "big" trip will be Natural Bridge, but it's going to be an overnight stay at least and require some planning. I'm pushing the lighthouse trip off until late summer. With the war going on, I need to be conservative on money for my own safety for now.
Natural Bridge will also be an exercise in timing. Would you want to go with 200 tourists photo-bombing your shots every five seconds? lol, off-season or bust, yo. I gotta get it done before Spring Break at least.
Another one-off or two before Saturday, I'm taking my mom out to eat tomorrow and it'll be pretty tomorrow too and I'm sure I'll see something to hit the brakes for. Cya!

Early Spring - Muted Pastels and The Eastern Redbud
------
I woke up today mad at how it looked outside. I get one valid day a week to go out and do this hobby and today was a constant melancholic overcast suited for a Danny Boyle film, and here I am wanting to go take pretty pictures of the plants.
In some odd way, I feel like I made it work, but in the most... crowbar'd way. lol, I wanted some sun, but I'll make do with what I'm given so I went for trying to get the most out of the pastel look the entire day had, mute the contrast a bit, make it look dreamy and like someone's playing shoegaze in the background.
Also the area I went to, "High Point Lake" had a small spot with a bird feeder so... I wasted way more time on that than I thought I would and felt like I could almost make an entire day out of sitting there aimed at birds. Every time I walked away something new showed up and I had to stop myself lol. It's EARLY spring. We will birdwatch... but not right now. Let it get a little greener.
I started this thing this year with the Bradford Pear where I want to photograph, if not native plants, then at least plants "that are here" and whether or not they're invasive or not invasive. In two of these photos I have here is an Eastern Redbud.
"The pink to reddish-purple flowers emerge in early spring on old branches and trunks, before the leaves. After blooming, the heart-shaped leaves emerge and mature to a dark green, turning yellow to yellowish orange by fall. The trees produce clusters of green seed pods that look similar to snow peas, but brown when mature."
https://www.buncombemastergardener.org/garden-detective-purple-flowering-trees-native-redbud-invasive-paulownia/
The Eastern Redbud is Native to the Eastern US and North Carolina. When I got up on it, I thought something was kinda alien about the purple flowers growing on it, but so far, considering my roster of... 2, this is my favorite tree thusfar this year.
My only real issue with this tree so far is that finding good examples of it that are planted on purpose seems to be a bit rare. They're every 70th tree on the highway, but I've yet to see one alone. This one I literally had to park 1/4 from and find. They're really pretty, I mean, I'd plant one. The entire tree has these little clusters of buds on it. Apparently they change color through to fall.

I went back to Salem Lake, and had my way with it for the day, walked about 1/3 of the 7 mile trek, realized what I had signed up for without any water or provisions, and turned around at that moment. One day... I'm gonna actually come here with the idea of completing the journey around the perimeter.
There are 1-2 ways to "bail out" if one gets too tired. There's road exits along the trail where you could hail an Uber or Lyft if things get too dicey. For me and my knee right now, dicey is kind of a given, but I did way better today than I had been.
I found a Quantaray lens at Macay's off of Jonestown road for $35. It's a Full Frame, 70-300mm F4-5.6 lens, with macro, and autofocus. It's EF mount and quite fun. It gave photos taken with it a definite 90's-2000's DSLR look, but the simple ability to catch birds now without having to struggle, even if they are a little rough is better than no bird at all.
Here's the four for this trip. There's a few others that survived, and one in particular that will get posted alone that I'll let trickle in through the week. Happy Thanksgiving!
>hey, that fisherman guy is at Oak Hollow Lake! That's not Salem Lake!
OOF! You got me! I also went to Oak Hollow Lake today, but there weren't many trails to walk along. The water fowl there and the fisherman were from there. The fungus and the sky shot was Salem.
Anyway, more geese and woods later. These were my favorites this time, so they get special treatment.

Tanglewood Park - Clemmons, NC - 11/20/25
HORSES! I wasn't expecting horses. I hadn't been here in more than 20 years, though so, I'm not sure what I expected. As usual, on Thursdays, I have the timing advantage for sunrises due to working third shift, and as I was FINALLY gifted a cloudy day after an endless three-week sea of blankness every morning, I got a nice one.
The park itself is nice, Mallard Lake was coned off, but people were driving down there anyway. I didn't feel like I had the energy left after 10 hours of work and 3 hours of walking around this place to explore a lake so I left it for another day.
My leg still bothers me, and I had to fight to get around this place a bit. I'm taking Friday to rest before the next trip out Saturday. Enjoy these for now.

...This camera is sick. The overcast... eh.
Here's a kid from the park I went to popping a wheelie.
Muddy Creek Greenway, just off of Robinhood road. A lot of bicycles.
I wish our sky would make up its mind for a while. We had extreme cold with zero clouds for two weeks, and now it's overcast all the time. All of these were with the 50mm F1.8 at varying levels of Aperture depending on what I was shooting. I think I did the creek at F16 and the kid at F1.8 and F2 for the first and second. The flower is as low as it'd go. It is the only lens I have for the R8 right now aside from the cursed 90's lens, which is going on an S2000 in a week with some Kodak 400(tee-hee).
edit: Here this is again with 1920x1280 resizes. These actually load.

R8: Шакалья работа (уменьшение apk через правки R8)
По умолчанию для минификации имени класса в R8 используются цифры и английский алфавит. Но что будет если вместо трех символьных строк, которые будет занимать три байта, использовать один двухбайтовый символ?

Переход на Gradle 8 Android проекта
Всем привет, меня зовут Саша и я Android разработчик в Совкомбанк. Занимаюсь проектом по упрощению пользованием ДМС. На днях поступила моя любимая нетривиальная задача, перевести проект на 8ой градл, чтобы потренироваться на котиках на не большом проекте и столкнутся с основными проблемами. И конечно документация мне не помогла.
