It took me more than 4 years to capture a scene I could only dream of. A magnificent Condor soars above the peaks of Argentina's Mount Fitz Roy, as they are spot lit in beautiful morning light. 🪶 #bluesky #photography #landscape #birds #nature #landscapephotography #naturephotography #travel #scape

Word of day is ‘unasinous’ (17th century): united in stupidity. A riff on ‘unanimous’: which comes from the Latin for ‘one mind’. ‘Unasinous’ means ‘one ass’.

I don’t worry my teen and young adult kids will open the door to a stranger. If the doorbell rings it does not occur to them to think about answering or looking, even if they are the only ones in the house, unless they are expecting DoorDash.

Not political in any way. My daughter's dog, Cassie. About 39kg of relaxed(very) muscle and terror (I'm sure in her mind). She's actually a very good guard because she makes a lot of noise when anyone comes near the house.
