Gold Shore, Blue Range - Lake Clearwater, Canterbury, NZ.

Ten minutes of light I hadn't seen at this lake before. An early morning storm was leaving the area. The tussock in full light, the mountain still in shadow, and the lake holding both. The mirrored island of trees anchors the frame.

One morning from several spent in the Ashburton Lakes. The full story is coming later this week.

Gold tussock hills and a stand of conifers on the shore of Lake Clearwater, Canterbury, reflected in still water beneath blue mountains under clearing storm light.

    Third cast: the lure got snagged on the bottom of the creek 😭

    A creek flows through the forest beneath a cloudy sky. A riffle in the background feeds into the broad, gently spreading section of the creek in the foreground, where the calm water reflects the surrounding landscape.

              Since the pandemic nyc has managed a lot more outdoor restaurant seating. With the summer in full bloom these umbrellas are necessary

              A color photo taken of Broadway between 25th and 26th St. several blocks around this area have been blocked off to cars. It makes the area much nicer. The bottom of the photo shows many tables with the traditional woven outside chairs that you often see in Europe. It's early so the tables are all still empty. In between the tables are four white and yellow striped umbrella/awnings. Behind that is a great number of bright green trees. The top half of the photo shows two thin giant skyscrapers shooting out from behind the trees on the left. A lower skyscraper is next to them in the middle of the photo. There's a very blue sky with a few white clouds lower down.

                      Another scorching day, so waited until the evening to go for my 48km ride – out before sunset, back after.

                      Of course, it wasn’t that much cooler even then, so it was a hot, sweaty one – it would have been much better to go out early in the day, soon after sunrise.

                      Watching the football last night was not compatible with that plan, however 🤷‍♂️

The sky is blue with orange near the horizon between the valley sides. There are street lights, houses, and cars on either side of the valley. The river is still and if you look carefully you can make out the reflection of Venus, also visible in the sky above.

The sun is a bright golden yellow blob starting to descend towards that horizon. From a fissured gray rock outcrop atop a mountain, we are looking out at a scene of mostly forest with a couple of clusters of buildings. A few tufts of tall grass grow through a few of the fissures in the rock. A forest of cedar and hardwoods rings the edge of the outcrop, but does not block the views. The flank of a nearby peak facing us has impressive rock cliffs. Beyond that is a narrow valley and several long, flattish-topped wooded ridges running along the horizon. A rounded knob to our left has a cluster of larger buildings on top.

Several shells and pebbles are scattered across the scene.

                                                                  In reality... it's not that simple. 😄

                                                                  A hashtag isn't just decoration. It's a way to categorize your post so that people following or searching for that topic can discover it.

                                                                  As the official Mastodon documentation explains:

                                                                  "You can use a hashtag to make your post discoverable to anyone searching for that hashtag."

                                                                  In other words, every hashtag should have a purpose.

                                                                  Here's a fun example:

                                                                  You post a photo of your cat sleeping peacefully on the couch.

                                                                  Do you really need something like this?

                                                                  🤯

                                                                  Probably not. 😅

                                                                  Instead, something as simple as:

                                                                  already describes your post perfectly and helps the right people find it.

                                                                  The goal isn't to use the most hashtags—it's to use the right ones.

                                                                  Hashtags are designed to connect people with shared interests, not to turn your post into a wall of keywords. 😉
