The image has a swirling effect that probably happened from turning my phone while putting it back into my pocket. https://www.joy-ku.com/blog/thoughts-next-to-the-tub monthly 0.5 2021-02-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8e1e8a24aef1e5b8f66d6/1610629503303-CWD9T5233DHXD0F3HDBP/20210114_Leuchtturm+notebooks+20210114+IMG_0477.jpg Blog - Thoughts next to the Bath Tub A stack of Leuchtturm1917 Jott Notebooks in different colors - copper, berry, powder, aquamarine, sage, stone blue, Nordic blue - still shrinkwrapped, sitting in my office. https://www.joy-ku.com/blog/online-dialogues monthly 0.5 2021-02-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff8e1e8a24aef1e5b8f66d6/1610146442347-08OGEUCEDJTUYC3CPAIQ/TAMARI%7E1.JPG Blog - Online Dialogues Tama River in Musashi Province (Bushū Tamagawa), from the series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (Fugaku sanjūrokkei).
