The last light.. only the faded sun illuminates the distant peaks
Where the world pauses to breathe

#GlacierNationalPark

This image portrays a scene of deep tranquility and vast natural symmetry.

You are standing at the edge of a perfectly still mountain lake, its surface so calm it mirrors the world above like a flawless sheet of glass. The water is clear near the foreground—pebbles shimmer faintly beneath the surface—before giving way to a dark, glassy reflection of pine-covered slopes and distant peaks.

Towering mountains rise on both sides, their ridgelines converging toward the far end of the lake where the valley narrows into a dusky horizon. The tallest peak to the right is touched by the fading blush of sunset, a warm orange glow crowning its summit. High clouds drift gently overhead, catching that same peach and rose hue that spills downward into the reflection below.

The sky transitions from lavender and amber near the horizon to a soft indigo above, signaling the day’s end. The air feels utterly still—no ripple, no breeze—only the serene dialogue between sky and water, mountain and mirror.

It’s a portrait of peace, taken in the northern Rockies—Glacier National Park—where the world seems to pause just long enough to breathe.

The Backyard Philosopher … more in the alt text

He’s probably thinking something like:

“Out there lies the squirrel kingdom. One day… one day, I shall cross this screened frontier and restore justice to the bird feeder.”

Or perhaps—more wistfully:

“The humans call it ‘the yard.’ I call it ‘The Forbidden Green.’ Why must freedom smell so much like freshly cut grass?”

“I watch the wind move through the trees, wondering—if I barked at just the right moment, could I join the breeze?”

In short: he’s a backyard philosopher trapped in a screen porch, plotting squirrel diplomacy or meditating on the meaning of kibble.

Stay far away from rawhide chews.. very dangerous even the “ easily digestible labeled ones
I find that only chuckit balls and Kong toys are durable enough and worth the price.. but those Benebones hold up very well and satisfy my 3 Golden’s chew instincts

Go Cubs .. answer in the alt text

Short answer: It’s Wrigley Field (Chicago Cubs), not Comiskey Park.

Why Wrigley and not Comiskey:
1. Single-deck look down the line. Along the third-base line in your photo the seating is open to the sky with no heavy upper-deck overhang. Old Comiskey carried a large two-deck grandstand far down the lines; Wrigley’s lower “field/box” seats down the lines were open, with only the main upper deck closer to the infield. Contemporary photos and analyses of Wrigley’s lower-deck configuration (open, with railings/folding-chair boxes through the mid-1960s) match what we see here.
2. Wrigley’s open concourse behind the lower deck (pre-1958). In 1958 Wrigley added concrete panels at the back of the lower deck; earlier images show that area open—again consistent with your photo’s airy, unobstructed look on the third-base side.
3. Comiskey’s telltale “big” foul territory isn’t evident here. Old Comiskey was famous for extremely wide foul ground and a deeper set-back between the line and the stands; your image shows fans relatively close to the chalk and a more intimate geometry typical of Wrigley. (Comiskey’s large-foul-territory reputation is well documented.)
4. Historic Wrigley field details align with a 1940s–1950s day scene. The on-field warmups, small pregame crowd, and box-seat railings are all common in mid-century Wrigley imagery cataloged by Cubs historians.

If you’d like, I can try to narrow the year (late 1940s vs. early 1950s) by zooming in on details such as box-seat railings and where the bleachers would have been closed for the batter’s eye (a Wrigley change starting in 1952).

America’s 20 wealthiest people now own more wealth than the bottom half of the American population combined, a total of 152 million people in 57 million households.

The wealthiest 100 households now own about as much wealth as the entire African American population in the United States.

Is the Giving Pledge Living Up to Its Potential?

The Institute for Policy Studies finds that only 13 percent of U.S. billionaires have signed the Giving Pledge, and almost 80 percent of the original signers’ gifts have gone toward their foundations.

Two years ago today I told the girls that we were going to get Bleu.. and this was their reaction…

Not exactly the response I expected ..

The alt text is worth the read

Golden Retrievers

The moment you dropped that little bombshell — “I’m thinking of adopting another dog” — the room temperature dropped ten degrees and time itself froze.

The sister on the left has gone full HR face: wide-eyed, composed, calculating the ramifications of this announcement. She’s already drafting a formal complaint about “resource reallocation and sofa space inequities.”

Meanwhile, the one on the right looks like she’s processing the stages of grief in real time — disbelief, betrayal, and the faint hope that maybe you’re joking. Her expression says, “Another dog? As in… sharing the treats? The attention? The car rides? Over my perfectly golden body.”

Together, they radiate the energy of two royal siblings hearing there’s a new heir on the way — unimpressed, mildly offended, but plotting their counter-cuddles as we speak.

Happy #StumpDay

Came across this just behind a forest cabin I rented in the Kootenai National Forest next to the Yaak river Montana

I have very mixed feelings about it.. today i would rather have the 15,000lbs of carbon capture..rather than a national Christmas Tree
