Not just dead last in Presidential rankings, but a truly loathsome "human" being in his own right & the worst thing that ever happened to this country. Someone should post this on "Truth" Social or Fox "News" so he would actually see it. #Embarrassment_In_Chief

Another pic of a Gray Moon Sponge, said to grow as big as a couch. One specimen was found to contain 17,128 animals living inside ("mostly shrimp"). Of course the billions or trillions of bacteria living inside would have objected to missing their input, but they remained silent.

A Pacific Wren one nanosecond before taking off. As soon as the focus-assist beam goes off, then he's gone. #birds

Granddaddy made a lot of money in the Market just before the Crash. That's him 2nd from the left on the Arkansas Cadillac, taken in 1894. His motto was "when the little guy get's in, it's time to get out". The AI Bubble is going to crash, if not sooner then after Nov 03. The Market is gonna follow.

Sooo, when the Reflecting Pool gets coated with epoxy again then somebody slips and breaks a leg or cracks their skull open will they be able to sue the culprit? He'll pardon himself so no. Thanks, Supreme Court for foisting an idiot on us. We won't forget it!

Purple Nightshade Berries & Flowers. Historians think that the "alleged poisoning of Emperor Augustus by his wife Livia using the juice. Plus, the use of belladonna-tipped arrows on enemies during battles." Not that I'm recommending it. More photos available by following a link on my Profile's page

A Bee leaving a Daisy with its load of pollen. Mt Baker WA two days ago. More photos available by following the link on my Profiles page here on Blue Sky. Macrophoto of a bee landed with pollen.

I have dozens of relatives in Lake Charles La. They used to have a dairy farm there. I doubt if they're self-sufficient now, but all residents of Louisiana should know this: your corrupt leadership, pedophile priests, & racist politics means I will never visit, buy, or endorse anything from you.

The Dobie Gillis Show was one I remembered as humorous. I like shows, now, that have conclusions to their plots instead of trying to stay on air all the time. The Expanse, Orphan Black. Well developed plots with a generous use of science based inputs.

Lloyd was the bespectacled milquetoast who was the model for Clark Kent.

Every time you see a headline about how Trump is pushing for drilling on public lands, remember that he promised Big Oil whatever they wanted if they spent $1 billion to get him elected. Save our public lands. Put America above Big Oil. 🇺🇸🏞️

When I see posts asking "how & why does Trump still have support from 30% of the voters"? It's because they want their cut. Govt jobs are being given away to political patrons regardless of their skills. We need a list of businesses, people, and places supporting Trump so we can boycott them!

HA! HA! HAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaa…….! 🤣 SpaceX stock tumbles 23% from its high, as average investors see most of their gains wiped out

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security on 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security on less than 1% of their income. Instead of raising the retirement age, we should scrap the Social Security tax cap.

Elon Musk Wants Me in Prison. I Want Him Under Oath. The richest man in the world announced that he plans to sue me and called for my arrest. I will not be intimidated. Read more: rokhannausa.substack.com/p/elon-musk-...

That's another photo of Koma Kulshan, also known as Mt Baker, WA.This one was taken at 6-20-26 at 6:20 AM. This area was almost always cold & wet in the Spring. Not this year, nor last year. It's been hot & dry for weeks. More than a decade in WA since wildfires became the biggest threat to forests

Some kelp & sunlight. These stands of kelp are stringy and fast-growing but unlikely to survive the first big waves that come when summer is over: they're in shallow waters. Still, there's something about kelp and sunlight. In spite of the cold water it seems enticing and safe.

phys.org/news/2026-06... Raw milk is a major source of the H5N1 virus. Why are adults drinking a product they can't digest? Most people lose lactose digestive enzymes by the time they reach ten years old. I don't care if RFK Jr drinks bleach or raw milk. Go for RFK Jr! The suckers are asking for it

A couple of weeks ago I watched while a pair of crows tag-teamed this lone Mourning Dove. The Mourning Dove left the nest to chase one crow then the 2nd crow would raid the nest. The drama was over the next day. When the crows weren't getting chased they had noisy sex while waiting. #birds

Has anyone tested the liner installed in The Reflecting Pool to see if it added limiting nutrients to the water thus stimulating a larger bloom? Or the binder? +H2O2? Increasing temps increases metabolism/chemical rates of rxns itself so just the higher temp may have that. Trump is the cause of it.

www.cnn.com/2026/06/20/p... Will they arrest the culprit! Don't hold your breath

A White Admiral Butterfly hanging out near Baker Lake WA. A pair kept my dog busy. She decided to try & eat one after I paid them attention.

Crowded unsanitary places like concentration warehouses are the perfect places for breeding diseases. The flu that wiped out most of the troops in WW1 was probably from pig farms in Kansas, then incubated in crowded trains, ships, then in transport in Europe. Trump & Co are massive idiots.

I took some pic of this Anna's Hummingbird around April 11 a few years back when it was still cold and the cherry blossoms hadn't yet opened but this hummingbird was determined to stay on the site & claim it for himself. He's puffed up his feather for warmth. #birds

Three Navanax inermis preparing to mate. This predatory sea slug doesn't have visual perception but uses chemoreceptors to find food and mates. I kinda like their pinstripe suits.

Here's another image I used for my coloring book, a 2-spot Octopus trying to blend in next to a Gray Moon Sponge & a sea urchin. In the coloring book I extracted the octopus turning it into a drawing. It's a way to introduce the oceans to kids and show how kelp beds create habitats as well as food.

I'm reposting this pic to mention that the natives called this mountain Koma Kulshan. TheLummi tribe called it the "Great White Watcher".

A Tube Anemone, Pachycerianthus fimbriatus, are said to live on soft-bottoms. Biologists often have a fixation on soft-bottomed communities. This one is found on sand too, so it's no slouch. These anemones are faster than you'd suspect.

View of Mt Baker this morning from Baker Lake Hydropower Dam.

Mt Baker earlier this morning. NWS predicts nearly 90 F weather in a few days.

Here's one of the pages from my coloring book. Connecting Kelp Beds to the animals that live in them teaches kids that habitats have enormous impacts on what lives there. More examples later.

Trump thinks he's going to bomb Iran back to the stone age. Just where the Iranian mullahs want to be.

Another page of my Seaweed Coloring Book. Navanax inermis didn't have a common name when I was kid so I gave it one. The California Aglaja just isn't as much fun. I still have a few signed proofs for available & I can accept payments via Venmo.

I tried to read the news this morning but CNN & NYT are not worth wasting elections on.

Trump claims we took 100 million barrels of Iranian oil. "Transporting 100 million barrels of oil would require between approximately 33 and 1,250 tankers, depending on the size of the vessels used." So Trump got all those ships thru the Straits? Magic, I guess. So it the savings!

The Screw worm controversy bothers me. Not because I eat beef, I don't eat it. But there's an iceberg-sized problem beneath the DOGE stupidity, and Trump's revenge presidency. And please, no more cat videos using Amazon boxes. Have some respect for your cat! Tear it all down when goes.

My dog is ambidextrous. She jumps on me every morning at 5:45 with Both Paws if I don't get up by 5:30. More photos available by following the link on my Profile's page here at Blue Sky.

WHO PUTS THEIR MONEY IN A COMPANY THAT THINKS IT'S GOING TO MARS? Who invests in a bubble. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/o...

Senator Mike Lee has introduced a last-minute amendment to the Wildfire Prevention Act that would eliminate the 2001 Roadless Rule, stripping protections from roughly 60 million acres of national forest land. This is an attempt to sneak a major public lands policy change through before most

I found a thick chunk of abalone on a remote cove that was once used as a small natural harbor here on the southern Oregon coast. I don't know if abalone was ever harvested in these waters but it's easy to imagine the shell came from a cargo vessel that unloaded there.

Yes, we only found these guys by following their calls. Too much space, too many sagebrushes, and too few #birds

Abalone buttons. Years after the abalone population crashed people made buttons out of the piles of the shells left on the coast by fishing parties. So I made some to remember the great gone days of plenty.

Interesting @urchinartdesigns.bsky.social ! These #birds seemed mostly interested in hiding from the camera! We only got a couple #lucky #photographs

Thanks. While working on it I watched a couple of kids pulling in sea grass with sticks near Deception Pass crying "seaweed, seaweed". I didn't tell them it was a flowering plant, not seaweed.

Here's another page of my coloring book about Giant Kelp Communities, the animals living in and around kelp beds. I hope introducing kids to the non-charismatic animals in the seas will spark their curiosity about life in the oceans.
