We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE. In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

How does a guy who calls himself "birdman" not post a photo of a bird? LOL. Common Crow. November 1st.

I'm very grateful that folks are enjoying the photos I'm sharing. I've struggled with depression and anxiety my whole adult life. My very supportive wife encouraged me to find a hobby I could get lost in. Take me out of myself and my worries for a time. I found it. So again, I thank you. ❤️

Mt. Tabor Park. Portland, Oregon. Reservoir # 6. September 26, 2024. I love this place. ❤️
