I have a feeling the week after that will also have been stressful.
Landscape of yellows and browns with a tree with an eagle nest dominating the image. Painted in an expressionist style. No songs birds were hurt at this spot in real life.
Eagles' nest
There are a number of eagles' nests one can see, walk near, in the #trempealeaunationalwildliferefuge .
Winter provides clear viewing and less chance of upsetting the inhabitants.

@bengoldfarb.bsky.social got any advise to share?
There must be a lot of bad stuff in the Epstein Files if this 34 count felon draft dodger has illegally started a war while negotiations were under way to end their nuclear weapons program, which BTFW Pres. Obama had already negotiated some years ago.
This won't change the regime, just the top dog.
and again
Weird they dragged in Hillary Clinton when there's another First Lady right there in the White House who actually knew Jeffrey Epstein.
A few large lotus leaves in light green in the foreground in blue water. Middle ground are smaller, more distant leaves w white flowers floating on the dark surface. In the far background a line of brown bluffs.
Sketch of Pool C with lotus and lily pads.
From a photo I took a few years and seasons ago.

Abstract art. Seems to be a human figure turned away from the viewer looking towards a scene inside a scene.

Loose brush showing scrub trees and golden grasses in the foreground. Bluffs of the Driftless region in the background with a blue sky. The blackbirds, tiny specks, gather to the right of the image in trees and the grasses.
Gathering of blackbirds.
Informed by a photo from September, 2022.
Every year blackbirds gather for their migration to somewhere hopefully warmer.
A scene from the Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge.

I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN.
No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated.
Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here?
No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.
NEW: ProPublica went inside the detention center for immigrant families in Dilley, Texas.
Children held there told us about the anguish of being ripped from their lives in the United States and the fear of what comes next.
Perhaps you could do a follow up article on: "Medications to regulate the heart or thin the blood to reduce stroke risk can have problematic side effects." as the long term effects are not clearly articulated in the medical literature.

Going out again today to walk with a crowd holding up signs and talking of a different path.

This piece is in "Driftless" exhibit at the Winona County History Center til Feb 28, 10-4. TU-FRI. Pulled together by the River Arts Alliance.
Feels weird to be promoting my work now.
To make up for that, there is a march, SAT 1-3 in Winona, MN.

Must be nice. Not certain my insurance would cover “in an abundance of caution” .

@hcrichardson.bsky.social mentioned today that there is probably more to the Epstein Files than pedophilia. Follow the money. It's the only other thing he cares about.
Lots of money flowed through E's banks.
Friday would be a good day to release the Epstein Files.
Thin, crooked lines span between two groupings of blues colored messy clouds. On a painted yellow sheet of paper with some red-brown clouds.
Tendrils between us, 2026
Visited by anger, sadness, and finally hope.
I'll do better tomorrow finding those tendrils.

I saw that it had been 38 days past the date the Epstein Files were legally required to be released.
The 34 count felon seems concerned about their release.
Huh, who woulda thought?
The Epstein Files have not been released.
They are executing American citizens in broad daylight and people are videoing them doing it but we will not be distracted.
Release the Epstein Files.
Ah, they still haven't released the Files, meanwhile the madman rants and proves he had lost his marbles somewhere in Florida.
Let's reorder the international political, economic, social fabric so a demented old man can avoid spending the rest of his life in jail.

A series of stylized fish swim above a pool of water that shifts color from orange in the upper right corner to a dark shade of purple blue on the lower right.
Even with the fact that my friends and families are being terrorized every day in the Twin Cities, I do occasionally try to make art.
There is a spot in the #trempealeaunationalwildliferefuge where fish go to mate.
