Enjoying our morning wander to the beach and breakwater.

My old fishing buddy Jack - I miss him so. #dogs

Had a walk along the prom today, from Seacombe to New Brighton. Glowering clouds over Liverpool City centre, and the climb up the hill to the 'Dome from Home' feels like it is getting steeper as I get older 😬😁

Back to the beautiful colours of home

It's been a treat watching Ron Wotus as third base coach for a few days. Wish he could stay.

Venus and Jupiter in the night sky over White Bay, NL.

Jupiter (left) and Venus (right) are inching closer to each other every night. They will be closest on the evening of June 9th. It is quite striking when 2 bright objects get so close in the night sky. 🔭🧪

Logan Webb is here to remind you that he can also throw a gem in Milwaukee.

"Mariana", a single mother, is harvesting strawberries in Oxnard CA. "I'm worried. The strawberry season is winding down early. I barely make enough to pay the rent. By this late stage of the season, my back aches with exhaustion as I try to make every last dollar." #WeFeedYou

Dual century plants in Sedona. Have a good evening.

Looking forward to seeing our old friend Kyle Harrison tonight. Buster broke my heart and traded him away as part of the Devers deal. I felt it was a mistake, and in Milwaukee, in about an hour, this amazing kid is going to prove it.

South of Carmel and north of Big Sur is Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, “the crown jewel of the California State Park System.” It is truly scenic, with short, easy trails and an amazing view around every bend. Learn more: www.parks.ca.gov?page_id=571

Sentimental Sunday. 12 years ago this month. Playing en plein air at Pont Neuf, Paris.

Shropshire longhouse for sale by public auction. Once the home of the Ruralists painters, Ann and Graham Arnold, now in need of love, care, and cash. It’s a tranquil and beautiful place. Link in my linktree in my profile.

A little bit of morning drama across Loch Nevis

My admiration for Craig Ferguson led me to watch American on Purpose. What a fine fellow he is! He has produced a very thoughtful and inspiring examination of this nation and its immigrants.

Lovely to see bee orchids in bloom (a Peig photobomb for scale)

Last view before we left this morning. It actually snowed last night! This might be my last trip to Yosemite—too many other amazing places to see—but it’s a spectacle to behold.

In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt, guided by naturalist John Muir, embarked on a three-day camping trip in Yosemite, which became a pivotal moment in the conservation movement, inspiring Roosevelt to expand federal protection of national parks and land. See less

John's Life Springs: Long drive down West, clouds filling an oft darkened skies with raging clouds. Quickly changing sunsets, turbulent sea. Sent son off to his home! Back to cool morning, slowly clearing! Birds hiding in full leaf! 51ºF headed to 60. Ya'll be careful out there!

No squat pen for Kavanagh.

This spring, the wildflower bloom in the reach of the former Iron Gate and Copco reservoirs is even more prolific than previous years, painting the banks of the Klamath River in swaths of gold, yellow and green.

This, always and every day and no matter what, THIS. Right now many things are terrible, they would be a lot more so were there not so many people doing so many things in in hope, in defiance, in solidarity.

#WethePeople hold leaders of the Civil Rights Movement like MLK Jr. & John Lewis in the highest regard. But have we forgotten what Civil Rights icons risked & sacrificed to advance their cause? Good TROUBLE. Trouble challenges unjust authority. Often by disobeying it. Our moment is now. Join us.

There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance; pray you, love, remember. And there is pansies, that’s for thoughts.

Lovely morning light, and a bit of warmth in the air

Columbine - survivor of heat, snow, wind.

Not a big lupine year in the sierra foothills. From last year.

Francis admiring the poppies along the river. I tried to fish but he needed too much attention. #dogs #poppies #wildflowers

I spent last week singing "Band on the Run". Today it's "Hello, Goodbye". Goddess bless Paul McCartney for coming to the aid of the colonies in our hour of need.

"We will not win our rights by staying quietly in our closets." "How can people change their minds about us if they don't know who we are?" Happy Birthday to Harvey Milk, whose example is still teaching me to be brave.🏳️‍🌈

Today, we honor Harvey Milk, who fiercely fought against injustice and who reminds us that "hope will never be silent." California stands with the LGBTQ community and all who face hate and inequality. We will never back away from the fight for freedom and acceptance for all.

Paul McCartney turning out the lights on the Late Show was pretty effective/full circle in communicating the history they’re turning the lights out on. ❤️ Stephen Colbert way to tell it like it is. America’s first mainstream obviously successful show shut down by authoritarianism- what a day
