Day 121: Sprouting Luck

2026-06-07

Hello! I think I'm going to try and make this a cohesive series involving dice outside.

I used to make loads of pre-constructed photos with minimal effort just to be creative and unconventional. I've described that process a bit before, but I haven't published any of them to this site. I also haven't done many pre-constructed photos in a while, so I hope this multi-day series will suffice :-).

If yesterday's selected image was about the dice representing small seeds of good luck planted for the future, this is the first few summer signs of that luck appearing. Let's hope it's a sign of things to come in the real world, I could really use it about now...

Yesterday's image was lit by cool white light overhead. This time, I've let the golden hour sunlight show its true colors as a warm glow in the back. It doesn't distract from the subjects (dice and coins) too much, and I like the colors.

Speaking of sunlight, I put on an amount of sunscreen I consider sensible and others consider excessive. I watched this video by Hannah from Australia regarding sunscreen and how it's made and used around the world. Now if only I could keep those healthy habits with bug spray this summer...

Finally, a web game. Slime Rancher is a game that I never knew how to play, and I've only heard vague mentions of it online. This is my first time actually paying attention to it, and it seems fun? Not my style, but I'm sharing this to see if this is a type of game others might enjoy for free. You might have to switch browsers or experiment with your settings to get it loading; it's a full game, emulated in a browser tab.

Cheers,
David
