@W.carter: Happy New Year! Is that a friend of yours? — Rhododendrites ^talk |  21:52, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi! Unfortunately not. Since I'm very allergic, it's hard for me to have animals as friends. But I'm totally shameless when it comes to stealing short moments with dogs or cats I meet when I'm out and about with the camera. :-) The camera is a good way of striking up conversations and get a few moments of quality animal time. --Cart (talk) 21:59, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

@Aristeas: Happy New Year! Smart move making the card a template. That way you can wait until we've all archived it and forgotten and change it to something crazy. :) — Rhododendrites ^talk |  21:52, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi Rhododendrites, good idea. ;–) I was aware that normally such “cards” are either distributed via copy and paste or by inserting a template with {{subst:...}} – the result is the same. I also thought about the potential abuse of a template. But I am so used to avoid redundancy in anything related to coding that I cound not stand the idea to duplicate the same text so many times, therefore I opted for using a template. I hope this is tolerable. At least any subsequent changes can be tracked easily by looking at the template’s revision history. Best, --Aristeas (talk) 10:42, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Happy holidays and best wishes!

tree trunks

Hi Rhododendrites, Happy hollidays. Ottawahitech (talk) 16:43, 29 December 2023 (UTC) 16:52, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, Ottawahitech. [Belatedly] same to you! Glad you like that photo -- first time I'd ever seen that "UFO" style of architecture, I think. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  21:35, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Actually, it is not the architecture that drew my uneducated attention. It was the trees framing the buildings. I have studied many of your photos, and I love the look of the trees, mainly the tree trunks. But as I said I have a totally untrained eye. Cheers, Ottawahitech (talk) 19:46, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

@Ottawahitech: At some point while fellow WikiNYC folks were working on en:Trees of New York City I had a thought to make portraits of trees. I set up User:Rhododendrites/trees for past photos, but I guess I forgot about it until now... — Rhododendrites ^talk |  20:18, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

QI nomination

Hi! Just letting you know that I nominated File:Flaco (86944).jpg for QI. It's a great picture :D Suntooooth (talk) 12:13, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, Suntooooth. I like the Flaco picture, too (reminds me of Totoro), but though it's cute I suspect it will not pass QIC. QIC reviewers don't take kindly to chromatic aberration (the blue fringes along the edges of trees in the background) and noise reduction removed some detail on Flaco himself. I'll be pleasantly surprised if it passes, though. :) — Rhododendrites ^talk |  15:39, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

@Suntooooth: well, color me pleasantly surprised. :) — Rhododendrites ^talk |  15:23, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

A request

Hi Rhododendrites, hope you're well! If you have a few minutes at some point - and no rush at all, can totally appreciate if you have much better things to be doing - could you maybe have a look at this picture of yours and see if you can correct the tiny stitching error I have noted on the image page? I would like to nominate it for FP - it's a superb shot, I know the presentation is straightforward but it's a great iconic motif that IMO deserves an FP - but obviously will not do with this obvious flaw. All best, Cmao20 (talk) 01:45, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
