The beginning of the 200+ stone steps on the trail to the summit of Spencer's Butte. I love this trail so much because it's only 20 minutes from my house, and beautiful in any weather. #fog #photography #autumn #oregon

My dad. He served in the Merchant Marines in Alaska during WW2 #veteran

Col. Myron Weldon Tupper, was my first cousin, twice removed. (My great grandfather's brother's son). Served in WWI, and retired in 1939. #veteran

I love this zany photo. Not sure, but I think it's from one of my relatives. #veteransday #ww1

Foggy day on the Butte.

Calm down, Kim!

"If your abductor is an ICE agent, you must obey, comply and submit. If your abductor abductor is a criminal kidnapper, you are free to fight for your life." It makes me wonder how the court would rule if an unidentifiable, masked ICE agent was shot while trying to kidnap an innocent victim.

At least there is SOME good news today. Supreme Court rejects challenge to legalisation of same-sex marriage - BBC News share.google/xg57wSjivmLO...

"A million seconds: About 11.6 days A billion seconds: About 31.7 years A trillion seconds: Roughly 31,688 to 31,710 years"

Poisoned garbage? Anyone?

The last apple, way up high, determined to hang on.

A sweet little spring filled with autumn leaves. #photography #nature #autumn

ANNOUNCEMENT: I am on some of those lists that promise if you follow "these people", they will follow you back. I'm not one of "those people", so I won't blindly follow everyone back. Just sayin'.

Cute mushoes on a mossy log. Maple leaves tossed in for good measure. #mosslovers #oregon #mushrooms #friendsoffungi #photography

The fall colors yesterday were awesome. #autumn #hikinginOregon

These two managed to stand in just the right spot for me yesterday. #photography #clouds

This is a contender for "Horses with Threatening Auras". It was actually Winnie, coming to shake me down for treats. 😜 #horses #shadows #photography

Finding fungi to photograph during colder weather is like taking pictures of flowers in the summer. They add color. #mushrooms #friendsoffungi #photography

These teeny tiny mushrooms growing among pinecones are everywhere right now. #mushrooms #friendsoffungi #photography

Red leaves and yellow shrooms. It's Fall, y'all! #mushrooms #friendsoffungi #photography #autumn

Dewdrops on a dandelion. #photography #nature

I love this.

Nurse logs have always fascinated me, and since @keyserlauze.bsky.social announced that it's #stumpday, I'm sharing this pic I took in 2019 on the Sweet Creek Falls trail in Oregon. #photography #Forest #oregon

Right?

Check out this faerie ring around the base of a tree. #mushrooms #friendsoffungi #photography #faeries

I found a coral fungus, which I believe is a Ramaria decurrens. Anyway, I thought it was photo-worthy. #mushrooms #friendsoffungi #photography

At a ceremony on Sunday, Oak Lawn United Methodist Church leaders said the steps are a symbol that God's love will not be silenced or painted over. > cbsloc.al/438Uq50

If MAGA can’t win, they’ll try to cheat. In New Jersey, Democratic strongholds are being targeted with bomb threats at polling places across Bergen, Essex, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Passaic counties, forcing brief closures. Do not let this stop you from voting.

Best second hand find ever. Bought in 2018 for $5. The propeller even spins when the wind blows. #gardenart #2ndhand

My Great-Grandfather's advertisement in the Onawa, IA newspaper in 1894:

OMG! I got *yet another* text message, asking for money for a cause I do NOT support. Out of frustration, I responded with my true feelings. Turns out, you don't always need to reply "STOP" to unsubscribe. 🤣🤣🤣

Seen on Rachel Maddow tonight. NBC poll shows 43% of Americans support the No Kings movement, while 30% support MAGA, a.k.a. the cult. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 #NoKings #hope

Nice! ❤️

Also, I've never heard of a child of liberal parents being involved in a school shooting. Practicing gun safety is common sense, something many conservative gun owners apparently lack.

Wild rosehips. #photography #nativeplants

The UPS man was out there. #dogsofbluesky #upsdogs #australianshepherd

Moonrise.

Yeah. What's up with that?
