Glitch
For whatever reason, subscription e-mails seem not to have gone out this morning, and my WordPress notifications don’t include the usual confirmation that this morning’s post got published (which it did). To see whether the glitch has been fixed, I’m following up with this post that includes another picture from the Grand Canyon on October 19th.

that has happened several times to my posts, and much later the notification arrived.

It had happened to me once or twice as well. As I recall, the e-mails never did show up. The first time it happened, I sent out the same post again. This time I figured it’s better to send a different picture as a follow-up.

Maybe in this post I should’ve included a link to the post whose e-mails didn’t get sent out. Here it is:

Probably as a reminder I should include the link again in the next post as well.

You found a good solution to the WP glitch. The email for this post did arrive in my mailbox.
I’m not sure why, but the more I look at this, the more pleased I am that you left the naked branch at the far right. Cropping it out might have made the image “prettier,” but that one slight branch adds solidity: a sense that what we’re seeing is real.

I have other pictures in which a dead pine tree is the primary subject. I toyed with showing one of those images here but settled on this one, with its live pine tree. Not sure why I chose the way I did, but I needed to pick something quickly so I could see if e-mails were back up.

Glitch? Looks more like a Gulch!

Well and euphoniously said.
The glitch was in not automatically sending out the e-mail version of the previous post, called “A subspecies,” which had two contrasting photographs in it:
