It is a beautiful day for a bike ride in Ottawa.

Better late than never…

Down in the hen house
On my knees
I thought I heard a chicken sneeze
Nothin’ but the rooster
Sayin’ his prayers
Thankin’ God
For the hens upstairs

A dear friend gifted me a dozen VERY fresh eggs! And it turns out that the hens are opinionated!

May he suffer greatly.

The voices of sanity (and democracy) must rise quickly before the would-be emperor has good control of the military.

Signed.

Thanks for the encouragement. I definitely am experiencing a learning curve here, as I wrote a reply to you and somehow lost it in the ether…

I’m definitely going to give this place a try.

Okay, FB has become SO ANNOYING that I’m ready to leave it. Will BlueSky with its word limit satisfy? I doubt it (and I do know about using multiple posts as a work/around).

Hoping that smaller EVs will become available and affordable for the masses.

Some photographic phun with oil and water:

The physical evidence seems to add up completely, but - if this man IS the shooter, what doesn't seem to add up (so far) is how and WHY a kid with seemingly everything going for him (an Ivy League degree and the talent for organizing something positive) chose to kill. He must have had a reason.

WizenedEye The artist who draws, paints or sculpts may use imagination to create a reality; the photographer must take her art from the absolute reality of her surroundings.   My work is not so much the work of the hands, but rather the work of the eye finding a small piece of that reality, seeing it from a unique point of view which tells a story otherwise missed, and capturing it at one instant in time. It is an eye wizened with age and experience and sharpened with humor, passion or respect. I hope to make the viewer think, sometimes smile, and always feel that he or she is seeing something exceptional or extraordinary found close at hand in the everyday. Welcome to my online gallery. I hope you enjoy the things my Wizened Eye has seen.

I’m brand new to Bluesky and still trying to figure it out…🤪. Thanks for your good words. I completely agree with you on AI as well as the overuse of saturation. I will be posting more old and recent photos, but you can see more at www.WizenedEye.com. Thank you again!

I’m so glad that you didn’t take offense at my critique. Your photo is a lovely capture.

Ugh. We Dem's have a couple of good choices to run for that seat. This guy sounds like a first-class turkey.

It would be a better photo if it weren't so oversaturated. The reality of these fungi is red enough and the greens aren't quite so green in nature.

I love your banner pic. 😍

Solar collectors on our roof and two EVs has been a great choice for us, and we live north of the Adirondack Mountains and just south of Canada. Questions welcomed.

'Tis the season!

Hi, Kate! I came over here to get away from politics, LOL!
Thanks for connecting with me!

I'm a photo artist (now retired), trying to figure out whether to have a presence here on BlueSky. This is a photo of fisher tracks in my woods.
