Beneath the high mound two trees lean with quiet grace— no wind yet they bow, teaching me to stand gently as silence forms the mountain. #japan #zen #photography #zengarden

The artist, Yayoi Kusama has a long-standing personal and artistic connection to pumpkins, which she describes as comforting, humorous, and spiritual. The second photo is my attempt at “art” and it’s called “Woman with Pumpkin”. #photography #photo #japan

This area was part of the Tōkaidō, the ancient highway connecting Tokyo (then Edo) with Kyoto during the Edo period. Hundreds of towering cryptomeria (Japanese cedar) trees, were planted to protect travellers, over 400 years ago. It was truly humbling. #photo #japan

This is what we are allowing to happen. This is beyond shameful. This is beyond criminal. This is beyond un-American.

Happy Monday, Bluesky. What fresh hells await us this week?

If Zelensky disrespected the oval office by not wearing a suit, then what in the Kentucky fried, meth lab, redneck, shit kicking fuck is THIS nonsense?!

These are lotus lanterns, commonly found in Buddhist temples. They are often hung from the ceiling and are associated with prayers and wishes for blessings. #photography #korea #lotuslanterns

Will there be an investigation? Will there be any consequences? Will anyone lose their job? Will anyone go to jail? Sure. Probably right around the time when gas prices go down to a dollar per gallon and eggs are 10 cents a dozen. 🙄

I'm embarrassed to be an American right now. I hate knowing that the rest of the world thinks Americans are pieces of shit. I do not stand with this administration. These horrific, nazi ghouls do not represent me or what I think America should be. I stand with Zelensky and the people of Ukraine. 🇺🇦

It's not good to stereotype. 🤷‍♂️

I think we can all see clearly the trajectory that this country is heading in...

Pelicans of the Panama Canal unite! #pelican #birds #panama #photo #birdphotography #travel

Some colour and authenticity on the streeta of Panama today. She was so gracious when I asked to take her photo. She is dressed in a Pollera, a traditional dress from Panama, often worn for cultural celebrations and festivals.

I wonder what it would have been like to live in a generation with boundless optimism about the future. How do we find personal peace and growth in a society in decline? I've always turned to wilderness for solace, but is that just temporary escapism? Perhaps, but it's still mandatory for my sanity.

Steve Bannon spoke at CPAC. He called for a 3rd term for FOTUS and then, unambiguously, threw up a nazi salute to the crowd. Just know, it can, and in all likelihood, will get a hell of a lot worse if we don't do something immediately.
