Time to bring in the courtroom sketch artists??

The sky is struggling to decide the fate of the day.. could there be a storm, could the Sun win … The cloud activity is overhead a very still waterway surrounded by golden grasses.

The clouds are draping and deciding atop the landscape 📷🕊️ …

Tried to keep my distance. The duck pond had other ideas. Mallard, golden hour, zero regrets.

American Pygmy Kingfisher with Fish
(Chloroceryle aenea)
La Fortuna, Costa Rica

Never seen a kingfisher catch a fish, barely saw this one dive it was so quick. Got lucky when it landed for a second before taking off with its meal. #kingfisher #birds #lafortuna #americanpygmykingfisher #photography

A portrait of a red horse with blonde mane standing in the sun, looking straight at me. His mane is slightly off to one side in the wind. There is some frosty water droplets in his beard hairs.

Of course there were horses :)

Wanna see the greatest tweet of all time

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

I set up in a river for this one.

I was sooo cynical and yet somehow not even close to cynical enough

I was surprised to see this -- not only because I recognized it, but to realize it was still there! Beautiful.

A quaint cream cottage with a brown tiled roof, by a river. The cottage is surrounded by trees and reflected in the water. A compacted stoney driveway along the left side. Sky is cloudy and grey.

Good morning and Happy Saturday, I hope you have a lovely day and weekend.. 💚🌳☀️

Wisdom from Jesse Jackson’s service yesterday: “You don’t forgive because they deserve mercy. You forgive because you deserve peace. Forgiveness is an emancipation.”

Random Googleage reports 1/128 Cherokee. Cherokee Nation does not require a minimum blood quantum. I guess it's OK as long as you're not Elizabeth Warren??

From my archives for #SCAPE day.

I got to travel to Iceland for the first time in 2021 right after vaccinations were available. The national parks were very empty. This is a fall morning in #Thingevellir National Park. #UNESCO world Heritage site.

I’ve never felt more detached from the country I’ve lived in for over 60 years since birth.

We want this too!!! 💙

A photo of several blooms on a phalaenopsis orchid. The blooms are in hues of yellow, speckled red, and magenta pink, with a white center. The background is black.

Your daily flower. #photography #flowers
I've never purchased an orchid before, but this one captured me. Hope I can keep it going.
I now return you to the real world ...

One bee stopped for long enough on a flowering currant for a photo yesterday. The 100-400mm has good close focus - and this straight out of camera. #bee #insects #naturephotography #flowers #photography

1/7 George Orwell wrote 1984 in 1949 as a warning about how gov't's destroy truth, erase history, & silence dissent. He imagined a dystopia so extreme it felt impossible. 75 years later, a leaked gov't database just described it almost word for word. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

This is gorgeous

A wild turkey walks among my garden. This is cropped to show the head and neck area.

A flock of Wild Turkeys rolled through the yard yesterday, with one coming close to the house for its detailed portrait.

A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔

A brown and white/grey mottled songbird is perching on a dead branch, facing the camera. The bird has its beak open as it sings loudly and proudly.

For today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #ShoutItOut (birds calling out) we have a very exuberant Song Sparrow loudly living up to its name.
