#Birding in #sax-zim-bog was just what I needed. Being surrounded by beauty and kind people sharing what they saw and of course the wonderment of #birds.

I remember those mornings when I woke with dread each day reading the news. I remember January 21, 2020 waking without dread in the mornin. That lasted for 4 years. Now I wake with dread each morning again and yes I am tired, but I am also pissed.

This brown pelican shows off its ability to fly low. Such an ancient looking species. #birds

I kind of feel like these Ibises. Looking around for lifeboats amongst the mayhem and cruelty.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Getting a lot of "people" following who have no posts and are pictures of women barely clad? Block, block, block

Saw this fella the other day while visiting tropical climes. Could not get all of him in a frame- 4+ feet long. Impressive dude. #iguana

Frequently the word apocalyptic is over used. But what is happening in the LA area is just that. Holding hope for my family and friends.

Gisele Pelicot. What an incredibly courageous woman. In a year of incredible women, she stands out the most.

Sunset on the flight home somewhere over Wyoming. Even when it is not so beautiful on the ground there is beauty somewhere. Perspective is always helpful. #photography #blurryphoto #intentionalcameramovement #abstract #sunset

From this summer. (It is cold and gray here, so I am pulling from the archives) This green heron was impressively focused on its next meal. 🪶📷

From this summer when the sun was bright and warm. Double-crested cormorants and trumpeter swans hanging out peacefully together. Sigh. 🪶📷

When I took this water photo I did not see what the camera saw. I love this kind of surprise. To me it looks like it could be a telescope photo of some nebula or something. What does it look like to you? 📷 #abstractphotography
