I've never focused much, so to speak, on moths and butterflies, so not much to contribute to this challenge. However, I did find this hanging out on the side of my SUV's tire one day and snapped a photo with my iPhone. I'm pretty sure it's a luna moth caterpillar, so I guess it counts.

I’m sure tech support told you to unplug the main power cord, wait a bit then plug it back in and try again?
Yep. Tried that. Also removed the cartridges and tried it, but still the same issue. I think because it happened during the initial setup, the printer refuses to move on until it completes that step. That’s why I’m hoping a factory reset will take care of it, but I haven’t found a way to do that yet, and HP doesn’t publish the procedure for that.

I just purchased an HP OfficeJet Pro 8025 and upon the initial set up, the printer is stuck on "Printing alignment page". The screen just sits there with no error and doesn't print the page. I've ensured that the cartridges are placed correctly and the paper is loaded. I also tried various versions of a hard reset, but no luck - it always tries to print an alignment page after turning on and gets stuck.
Oddly enough, I can print from a phone or laptop while the message is up, but cannot access the touch screen on the printer, since the message will not go away and it will not print the alignment page.
I chatted with HP tech support and they thought it might be an ink cartridge issue, so I swapped the cartridges that came with it for a set of brand new HP cartridges, tried all the same tricks, and it still gets stuck at the same point.
They came to the conclusion that I should go back to Best Buy and swap it for a new one, or they could ship a replacement. However, before I go through that hassle, I’d like to find a way to do a full reset to factory settings, since I’ll bet that will do the trick. Has anyone ever encountered this? Anyone know if there is a way of bypassing this part of the set up?
Thanks.
(FYI, this was a printer purchased to help with virtual school for the kids so they can print from their Chromebooks. My main printer is a Canon that’s always performed flawlessly.)

Pg 13 - C.E., all your images continue to impress me
with their composition, detail, insight and "viewability."
I'm so glad I did a "double" download of that first image,
or I would have missed the GBH!!!

Much appreciated. When I grabbed that image from the archives, I had initially forgotten about the heron that decided to fly through the frame that day!

I posted a few on the first day, so here are a few more on the last day of the challenge. Other than a few tweaks using Camera+, these are straight out of my iPhone 8. All look best in download.

You are well above the "standard I phone photographer" level. Great work.
Much appreciated. It is nice that the phone cameras have evolved so much, as it makes it easier to always have a camera with you.

Here's a little bit of everything ranging from close-ups to landscapes. All were shot on an iPhone 8, and the only processing was some minor tweaking using either the native Photos app or Camera+. I continue to be amazed by the iPhone cameras, especially considering mine is a few generations old and not even a multi-lens system like the newer models.

P.17 - the Virgin Gorda Baths are so distinctive. As soon as I saw it in Newest Pictures, I knew where it was shot.
Thanks. It is a pretty amazing area.
So where in VA are you located?

Didn't make it to the beach this year, so I had to dig through the archives for today's collection. Wasn't sure I'd have time for this week's challenge, but I guess I just made it...

One last bridge for the week. Just an iPhone shot, but a nice area on one of the nearby trails.

Great idea on the Piazza shot. Did you wait for a passerby on the line? All well done.
I did have to sit there a while, waiting for the crowds to part and for someone to walk by at the same time. Luckily, it’s not one of the more crowded plazas in Rome.
