Master sculptors from the island of São Miguel woodcarved an important portion of the Jesuit College Church (circa 1750). Craftsmen were supervised by some monks, the Coadjutor Brothers, to ensure that the #wood carvings followed Jesuit theological messages. #BlueskyArtShow #Photography #Azores

WORD SALAD.

Going to look at some of the #BirdOfTheDay entries shortly to help Rob out, after answering what looks to be 100 comments. 😂 Hope everyone has been behaving. You know who you are. Here’s a Litte Egret fishing today, splish splash. 💦 #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

A #SnowyEgret found a bit of #PeacefulSolitude tucked into a nook on the muddy bank of a #marsh creek at #lowtide. A shaft of sunlight enters from the left to enhance the scene I like both in color and #classicmono. Which do you prefer? Why do you like it better? #BirdOfTheDay #EastCoastKin

Hmmmm… No bueno.

Here are a couple of #birds with some #grey for today’s #BirdOfTheDay On the left is a Clapper Rail. They are very shy, but this one froze when it saw me. Lucky shot. On the right is a classic shot of a beautiful Ring-billed # Gull.

In the days after 9/11, when pollsters asked Americans who they thought had carried out the 9/11 attacks, only 3% of respondents suggested Iraq or Saddam Hussein as culprits But by February 2003, 72 percent of Americans believed that Hussein was “personally involved in the September 11 attacks

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day 😊 This TCH took this advice to heart!

A little something late is better than nothing ever. If Bush wants a legacy (don’t all powerful old men), this could be his moment — to do more. Much more.

RFK’s confirmation by Bill Cassidy, Lisa Murkowski, Thom Tillis, and Susan Collins - all of whom knew better - is one of the most craven and indefensible confirmation votes in our nation’s history.

Sunset viewed from Lighthouse Point, West Cliff Dr., Santa Cruz, CA. 02-01-2026. Nicest sunset we've seen this year. For those who observe, don't forget to order Valentine's flowers! #Photography #Sunset #SantaCruz #WestCliff

For #Stunday, a handsome male Wood Duck and his reflection! #birds #photography #PhotographersUnited #EastCoastKin

The ‘bel’ in ‘decibel’ is for Alexander Graham Bell. Since the ‘B’ in 'dB' is a name-derived unit, it is capitalized when abbreviated.

And what other major news organizations and international intelligence agencies knew what and when, and chose to maintain silence?

OK. Then what ICE is doing should never happen. Simple.

Senator #JonOssoff sees things they are and has the courage to stand up to the big lies and the big liers We need to re-elect him to continue representing Georgia so the people can take back the Senate to return it to being the constitutional body it’s supposed to be #GAsenate #GAsen #OathOfOffice

Come on, Catherine! These sorts of things just happen all the time 😉😉😉 Oh. Thank you for “coinkydink” 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Good morning from Arizona! ☀️☕️✌️😊

Whut??? #Palantir CEO is in a dark place. Of course he is — he lives in #PeterThiel ‘s shadow (probably as dark as any place on earth)! #oligarchs

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #WinterSurvivors - birds that remain throughout your winter season. The alternative is #corvids - birds from the Corvidae family. I really wanted to post some arctic terns - but it would be so wrong. So I'll go with the corvids instead

🪶 One of my favorite #WinterSurvivors is the pine warbler. This one seems to be looking hard for signs of spring. #BirdoftheDay #birds #photography

Here’s a #WinterSurvivor (actually, a year-a-rounder) from the salt marshes of #coastalgeorgia. This Tricolored #Heron is ducking into the shadows and #marsh grass — probably due to my attention See ALT for a bit more on the #bird and photo. #BirdOfTheDay #EastCoastKin #naturephotography

Thought I do the alt of #corvids for #BirdOfTheDay too. Here’s a Rook. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Sophie Carr shares epic, fierce beauty from Iceland (and her archives). I think the tiny human figure in the mid-ground makes this incredible photo. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

Something stunning from Amy Gann! #BeautyPersists

Feature, not a bug! Agree, MMB!

Massie: "Donald Trump told us that even though he had dinner with these people in NYC and West Palm Beach, that he would be transparent. But he's not. He's still in with the Epstein class. This is the Epstein administration."

One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrianization pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000. So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000. Lemme do a expla-youtube-nation www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYL5...

Good f-ing riddance!!! Don’t let the door hit ya on the way out!!!

During our four years living abroad ( such an amazing experience), my wife and I had the opportunity to visit some of southern Europe’s stunning places In honor of #Stunday and the Olympics, here’s a view of the epic facade of the #Duomo of #Milano I took some liberty to emphasize its “epicness”

A couple of “Hoodies” (Hooded Mergansers) swim away down a small tidal creek. The more subtly attired female leads the way A gaudy male follows, looking a bit clownish with its large white “cone-head” Both hopefully qualify for today’s #BirdButt prompt #BirdOfTheDay #ducks #birds #EastCoastKin

Thirty years of concern. Never enough courage.

Does this have anything to do with the new Trump resort in Riyadh?

And how did I miss the obvious connection to #ValentinesDay? Love seems to be in the air for these smitten Ibises ❤️❤️❤️

From the archives… A favorite #bird #portrait for today’s #BirdOfTheDay It’s sort of a “bird boudoir” shot. I imagine the White Ibises as being romantically involved. What do you think? Maybe I’ve been too focused on birds… 😊😉😆🤣🙁 #birding #Ibis #waders #naturephotography #EastCoastKin

Here’s a postcard with a partial wooden frame for our friends in Europe, who have been suffering from cold, rainy, dreary, and sometimes snowy weather. This is a reminder that the sun will reappear and summer will come again. #BlueSkyArtShow #wood #seascape #skyscape

Let us remain proud and upright. Loving life to the fullest ✨ #BlueskyArtShow #Wood #Scape #Classicmono #Photography #EastCoastKin

Yeah it went really well✅ It sealed her legacy. #PamBondi

Another way of saying it: When you think you are powerless, you are… you guessed it, powerless.

Are you one of nearly 70 million American women who changed their names when they got married? 🙋‍♀️ Republicans in Congress want to make it harder for you to vote. Tell your senator to oppose the SAVE Act. indivisible.org/actions/stop...

Great news from the amazing @marcelias.bsky.social !!! Virginia’s new congressional map will go to the voters. On a personal note, I would hate if Ben Cline loses his seat in November (not).
