The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

The wizard is snuggled into his bed, reading a poem about the quiet of snow. The little cat is curled up above the covers, by his feet.

Despite some clouds the family and I got a good look at tonight’s aurora from Edmonds, Washington, including some faint reds visible with the naked eye. These three photos are five-second exposures with a wide angle lens on my Nikon DSLR. #wawx

No auroras where I live, but here’s a gorgeous shot from my brother-in-law up in Alberta, with a flock of geese adding some extraterrestrial vibes

So this happened an hour ago. I don’t think I’ve seen red this deep in a long time. You could see it quite clearly with the naked eye. #aurora

Happy birthday, Mr. Vonnegut

This little brown mushroom is growing a beard 🤔 #MushroomMonday #FungiFriends

Delightful detail from the Roman “unswept floor” mosaic by Heraclitus, showing a mouse nibbling a walnut. Superb use of darker tiles for subtle shadow effect! 2nd century AD. Vatican Museums www.museivaticani.va/content/muse... #MosaicMonday #Archaeology

Jackalope Totem 🐇✨🦌✨ This piece was an experiment to try out not just a new flower motif (Prairie Fire), but a new way of playing with colour! I also wanted an excuse to sculpt a big jackalope as well 😛 SOLD #art #pottery

I’ve been surprised by how many of my mushroom photos have a secret slug in them that I didn’t even notice at the time This one isn’t hiding #MushroomMonday

a foggy start this morning the red berries and birds popped. Good Morning! #littlethings

A few weeks ago I zoomed with a group of high school students and their adult mentor to discuss taking social action. I am thrilled to report that this group of 10 students raised $10,000 in two weeks to support their local food pantry. They sent me a photo and it has them all jumping and I tear up.

So many good dogs.

There's a story in ‘Intervals of Darkness’ about a couple who meet, marry, have kids, give up on having hairdos, get scarred and worn down by industrial work, and then slowly decay into oil and rust. It's QUITE PERSONAL. Do give it a read.

Dignity? Reserve? Not as good as tummy rubs tbh #StreetPet #dog

i wish i could blast this image to every tv in america like the emergency alert system tests
