In the six months I’ve lived in this apartment, there has been a regular thumping/clunking sound from upstairs. I joked it was a dog, playing with a cinder block. 🙉 Today he dropped the focus of his sport on my balcony. (Oct. Photoblogging Challenge, Day 20) /@challenges
Yesterday, the Oct. Photoblogging Challenge prompt was mirror, suggested by @amit. There are many cool photos, but somehow I neglected to add them to collection until just now: timeline | grid
Sorry! Oct. 20 is sports (thanks @greghiggins), Oct. 21 is space (thanks @dfj).
Who needs a mirror nowadays? (October Photoblogging Challenge, Day 19) /@challenges
Finished. A crash got me off track earlier, but it’s still Monday in Portland, so here is today’s Micro @monday episode with @pimoore. (Micro.blog October Photoblogging Challenge, Day 18)
The October Photoblogging prompt for Day 18 is finished.
But we are not finished with prompt suggestions! I need 9 more people to send ideas to jean@micro.blog to finish out the daily prompt calendar.
PS. I really like perusing the grid of challenge photos.
I don’t generally need a compass to find East. Or West. (Micro.blog October Photoblogging Challenge, Day 17)
Rotation (Micro.blog photoblogging challenge, Day 16)
Ethereal (Micro.blog photoblogging challenge, Day 15)
I replaced the wheels on my new IKEA desk chair, a brilliant mod suggested by my friend @Burk. I can zoom around the apartment. 🏎(Micro.blog photoblogging challenge, Day 14)
Nicholas Kristof resigns from the NYTimes and may run for Oregon governor
I am very interested to see what happens. I haven’t been enthusiastic about our state’s current governor, and I felt hugely let down by her predecessor, a once-great politician who had to resign.
Micro.blog challenge months seem to go by fast! Here’s the next week of photoblogging prompts:
Animals is a hard one for me right now. I miss my piggies.(Micro.blog October Photoblogging Challenge, Day 13.)

My grandmother. Born 1906 in Glasgow. Arrived with her mother and brother in the U.S. in 1912. Family legend says that my great grandfather was late sending money for their passage, and so they were unable to buy tickets on the Titanic.
Could be true. (Oct. challenge, Day 12.)
Hygge The coziest spot in my new apartment. Best couch ever, the throw is a gift from my late mother, plus other accessories with sentimental value. (Micro.blog October Photoblogging Challenge, Day 11.)
The bridge that leads to I-84 in Portland near 82nd Ave., taken from my brother’s car on our way to a family get-together. Not my best photo of a bridge but I’m trying to stick with photos taken that day. (October Photoblogging Challenge, Day 10)
Attention writers: @cheri and @pimoore are organizing a Micro.blog Writer’s Meetup. More details and a survey.
We did some impromptu special interest meetup groups during Micro.camp, and they really turned out well.
I’ve got my loaner dog Poppy for a one-night sleepover. It’s gratifying to see she feels safe with me, even though I’ve got a new place.(Micro.blog photoblogging challenge, Day 9)
I forgot I had access to the common terrace that faces west in our building. Here’s the view at civil twilight. (Micro.blog October Photoblogging Challenge, Day 8.)
Tried to food-style my spice photo, and now there is paprika all over my fingertips and iPhone screen. (Micro.blog photoblogging challenge, Day 7)
If it’s still October 7 for you, your Photoblogging Challenge prompt for the day is spice, suggested by @ronguest. If it’s already October 8, the new prompt is twilight, suggested by @rom.

Sometimes I wish I lived on a higher floor, but then I’d lose my front row seat to what’s happening on the street. (Micro.blog photoblogging challenge, Day 6)
If you follow @challenges, you’ll see reminders about the daily prompts for the October Photoblogging Challenge.
For example, October 6 is street, suggested by @ohBananaJoe. October 7 is spice, suggested by @ronguest.
That reminds me I need to generate another week’s worth!
@jamesdempsey: “To honor the memory of Steve Jobs on the tenth anniversary of his passing, I was joined by thirty-two members of the Apple tech community to record a song that has special meaning to us—and hope it will for you too.”
An epic collaboration.
Tiny music box with bonus soot sprites. My favorite toy. (Micro.blog photoblogging challenge, Day 5)
