Good morning Blue Ridge Mountains. Good morning sunsrise. Good morning to you too singing little birds.

MacGyvering my old DSLR camera battery compartment door shut (latch broke away) with an old adjustable small camera strap cord. I use to use thick rubber bands, but those break eventually.

If you could use a little brightness in your day, I recommend spending some time with sled dog MUPPY. I’m genuinely obsessed with her. She is an icon. She is a legend. Her legs are 4 inches long.

Timbeerrrrr!!! Large tree & live wire down! Windy & gusty cold front whipping those large canopies + rain soaked grounds the day before + previously weakened root system from hurricane Helene where the large tree next to it had uprooted. Be careful out there. #ncwx #wncwx West #asheville #weather

A cold rainy gloomy day, just what I needed to sop my warm tea and write about my dreams and what my heart wants. I don't know how or when. All I can think of are the next best steps. I guess it's more of a beautiful and contemplative subdued shade of gray. Full of wonder, mystery, and inspiration.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

What NIH funding cuts mean for universities : NPR | "The easy way to think about it is that the institutions and the government have been splitting roughly 50/50 the costs of building the research enterprise in the U.S." since World War 2

Outside asked me to write about why survival shows are so popular. Here's my theory about it, which is unfortunately feeling more relevant than ever.

Went to my little local organic grocery store to get eggs. I saw them yesterday and didn't know about the shortage. Thinking my local grocer sources locally, I could pick a few up since I'm down to one precious egg. Well they are out, nothing, nada, zilch, rien, zero. 😳

Spring is coming! 2 days ago I noticed a large flock of starlings bubbly and enthusiastically chirping and singing over each other as all birds dutifully do joining the morning chorus to happily greet the morning light. #birds #spring #migration 🧵

He’s still just as cute! 🧡 #BabyMarm #ThenAndMeow #FlashbackFriday

I give you a few moments of peaceful trickling snowy creek in the Blue Ridge Mountains from some days ago.

Yesterday, the Center and our allies launched a legal intervention to protect Florida scrub jays whose Endangered Species Act protections have been threatened by a national private property group. Learn more: biodiv.us/4jE8tWA

l love handwritting! Cursive, print or a mix of both. I have pencils of different thicknesses, gel pens of different colors, felt pens, I even own a calligraphy fountain pen. Happy Handwriting Day!

The fear of the past reapeating in the future has told my mind to hold on to patterns that haven't served me well lately. Hey mind! You only know the past. Snap out of it. Work with me. Your not listening to the heart's dreams. BE MY FRIEND. Lets all work together to make things happen.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research. Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

The Trump admin has cancelled the panels that approve NIH grants, & is also banning scientists from communicating with the public, attending conferences, and hiring. NIH is the largest funder of biomedical research in the world. This will severely halt the development of many lifesaving treatments.

Let the dynamo energy of the sun illuminate our imagination during our waking hours. Let us daydream, what else is possible? And with that energy take our daily steps towards our dreams.

My old friend Tree. She stood at the confluence for a century. Finally fell just a few years ago. I tried so hard to do her justice and always tried for a good shot. Never quite sure I actually got it. I'm going to miss that old tree, she challenged me to be a better photographer.

Just a wee bit of snow accumulation this morning, a 1/4" / 6mm in W Asheville in the North Carolina Blue Ridge mountains. Heading back inside to warm my feet, it's cold outside.
