Recognizing that today, March 10th, is #InternationalBagpipeDay I'm posting this photo of my grandfather's late cousin Jimmy Kirkpatrick, proprietor of Thistle Bagpipe Works (also long gone) in Luss, Loch Lomond, Dunbartonshire. #Scotland #bagpipe

AntiTrump poster in Vancouver Canada. Toque Off Eh! #AntiTrump #protest #Canada #NotThe51stState #CBCNews

My husband travelled to southern Cuba recently (since we are boycotting U.S. travel) where he met many warm, kind people. As a break from our current gloomy political news, you may enjoy reading his uplifting travel story. #Cuba #streetphotography michaelwilliammccarthy.medium.com/slowing-down...

With apologies to fellow Canadians ... I'm in California on a trip planned last year and the only photos I'm posting are of today's protest by National Park Service employees in Joshua Tree. @altnps.bsky.social
