oh I almost forgot, the swans hatched

My happy place! #BearLake #RockyMountainNationalPark

The tech bros gave us crypto currency that isn’t currency, artificial intelligence that isn’t intelligence, and prediction markets that are inside-trader scams. On the other hand, they have given us gigantic data centers that employ no one and destroy communities. So there’s that.

Almost died on a hike today, but hey at least the views were killer too

Happy Saturday! We have overcast skies today on Cape Cod but there was just enough light peering through pre-sunrise clouds to create a dramatic sky on Nauset Beach. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

Yesterday felt like the start of Mount Rainier season again. With Cayuse Pass and Chinook Pass both open, I was able to drive all the way around the mountain, and Reflection Lake was one of the highlights. The blue sky, the puffy white clouds made it a beautiful day to be out with my camera.

Stephen Colbert ended his final episode of The Late Show while singing "Hello, Goodbye" with Paul McCartney on the Ed Sullivan stage that made The Beatles mega stars.

Peacock Spider (genus Maratus), a group of tiny Australian jumping spiders famous for their vibrant colours and elaborate courtship dances to attract its mate. They are very tiny in size only between 2-5 millimetres ( the size of a pea)

I sat along the bank of the brook during the twilight hours. I focused my mind on the sound of the water crashing against the rocks. The warblers called to each other and the crickets began to sing their song. Just for a moment I found some inner peace. #nature #landscape #photography ✌️💚🍵

So let me get this straight: Chevron can afford to spend $500K to elect Xavier Becerra, but can’t afford to lower gas prices?

@chrislhayes.bsky.social honors Stephen Colbert as the last episode of “The Late Show” airs tonight: “One of the greatest broadcasters of our era.”

@ellinidata.bsky.social Goodnight Angeliki. Sweet dreams.🩷

Imagine giving millions to a man who feeds starving victims of wars and disasters instead of to domestic terrorists who ransacked the Capitol and smeared their feces on its walls! Donald Trump *hates* Stephen Colbert but is the opposite of Colbert when it comes to kindness and intelligence.

I was serenaded today by this beautiful indigo bunting. #birds #photography #birdsofbluesky

The "Water Dragon": Japanese kanji for waterfall (滝) combines the characters for water (水) and dragon (竜). I must learn more about the legend of a carp that swims upstream and leaps over a waterfall to transform into a dragon, symbolizing perseverance, strength, and overcoming adversity #waterfall

This Tree Swallow is just about to devour a giant mayfly! They have glossy blue-green upperparts, with the exception of the blackish wings. They breed in the US & Canada. It winters along southern US coasts, Gulf Coast, to Panama & the northwestern coast of South America. 📷: @jonathantuba

Penultimate day in Parga. Stunning sunset over Corfu. The crappy iPhone and its equally crappy operator don’t do it justice but some things demand to be shared anyway. #Parga #Corfu

Why tie yourself into a lifelong relationship with expensive, dirty, blood-soaked fossil fuels if you don't have to?

Imagine being a Russian troll assigned to Bluesky: “Comrade, today you will destabilize Western democracy by arguing with poets, policy nerds, and a raccoon avatar with tenure.”

As the sun settles low behind the peak, The painted meadow whispers soft and meek. A silver crescent guards the fading light, And gently folds the mountain into night. #bluesky #love

She wore her party dress. I finally planted this dahlia into a bigger pot before the plant dries up in the 1 gallon pot. I couldn't decide where to put it in the garden so I planted it in a 14 in pot yesterday afternoon. #Dahlia #pinkflowers #perennials #mygarden

Rosa 'La France' is a historic, fragrant, light silvery-pink rose, famous as the first Hybrid Tea rose, introduced in 1867 by Guillot & fils. It features large, high-centered, full blooms with a strong damask fragrance and it best suited for warmer climates or collectors.

Ohio’s state sales tax exemption for data centers cost $1.6 BILLION in 2025 — 11x more than its original estimate. That’s $1.6 billion that could have gone to public schools and healthcare instead of Big Tech CEOs’ pockets. Is it any wonder communities are organizing against data centers?

Good morning from me and these beautiful white lilac blossoms!🪻
