I should probably introduce myself! I’ve been on bsky for a while.
🌵🏜️
I’m from Arizona but lived in Canada growing up. I love nature, photography, hiking, reading, working hard, & democracy. My hubby & I have 2 rescue tuxedo kitties who are wild things! 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

Posting samples of some of my work below

A grid of nine nature photos. A beach in Tulum, Mesa arch sunrise, a white datura flower, a sunset in the desert with a saguaro, a yellow monsoon sunset with 3 saguaros, a saguaro against a starry night sky, white dunes of white sands nm, a sunset with hoodoos, a green white and red elegant trogon

A photo grid with photos of
a rainbow in the desert, a green hummingbird, picture rocks petroglyphs at sunset, a pair of phainopepla birds, petroglyphs in moonlight, a mountain valley layered with yellow and orange flowers, elephant head peak at sunset, a cactus with a crown of pink and white flowers, a saguaro with a southern caracara flying in to its nest

A photo grid of four photos with elephant head peak with a cloudy blue sky and yellow flowers, a mountain ridge silhouetted by a bright orange sunset, a saguaro with storm clouds and a rainbow at sunset, and mirror lake with snowy mount rainier reflected in it

A photo grid of 9 photos
Baboquivari peak with yellow plants in front and cloudy blue skies with ravens flying, a Tucson house and door with peach stucco and a cactus, a snowy finger rock peak and saguaro at sunset, a bright red and black vermilion flycatcher bird with a yellow background, a red cliff in Kolob Canyon Utah with a pine tree in front, a tent lit from within with city lights and a starry sky between mountain peaks, a white lined sphinx moth on a bright fuschia Arizona willow flower, a huge rock and cliff in the river of the narrows hike in Zion National Park Utah, a javelina in a golden desert morning

We saw a couple of thru hikers while we were there. The water there is fresh and cold unlike so many dirty cow ponds along the trail haha

Arizona mountain waterfall runs over a rock face into a pool of water while pine trees and blue skies round out the scene

Droplet precautions for airborne virus…I suppose it will reduce chances of passing things on slightly but why not follow the actual science and mask with respirators in shared spaces *all the time*?

Adrienne M @adriennemac.bsky.social · 16d

Environmental disaster for the wild animals in the area, a huge waste of taxpayer money likely going to some pal for shoddy work, and almost completely ineffective for its stated purpose, but sure let’s do that instead of what the American people want: healthcare.

“just under half support the party demanding this if it extends the government shutdown.” I’m not sure why people think the republicans would make any concessions in any other case, they already removed the funding.

This is nuts!

AND here’s the Hatch Act 👇

"The Hatch Act generally prohibits federal employees
from engaging in partisan political activity while on
duty, in a federal facility, or using federal property."

🚨 For those in power: yes, it applies to you. 🚨
