Thanks for the follow.
My last decent post was back in 2012.

The most interesting person at any party is the one standing alone, not because they're shy, but because they're internally narrating the event in Morgan Freeman voice.

Ok, hear me out.. trees, but covered in snow. 😉

After this long on SM, I rarely feel slighted, but occasionally mystified if anything.

DB 🇨🇦 @rebelliousdb.bsky.social · 9h

Of course I get blocked regularly. My tree photos are apparently very controversial.

I'm actually impressed with autocorrect sometimes.
Not because it corrected my spelling error, but because it had absolutely no idea what I was attempting to spell, but gave it a wild guess anyway.

You're thinking "Oh great, he's posting another tree pic."

Hey, there will probably be more.
It won't be long and the Autumn leaves will have fallen, leaving the trees bare and cold, but for now..
#Photography

A vertical photograph depicts a cluster of aspen trees in an autumnal forest setting.

The trees have pale, almost white bark with dark markings, and their leaves are predominantly a vibrant golden yellow with some hints of orange.
The ground is covered in a thick layer of dry, fallen leaves and grass, also in shades of brown and yellow.
The trees are closely grouped together, creating a dense canopy overhead, and a dark green backdrop of other trees is visible in the distance.

The overall impression is one of a peaceful and colorful autumn scene.

The think tank is widely known for creating Project 2025.

And this isn’t the first meeting Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has had with allies of the U.S. president.

Autumn textures of light.
#Photography

A dense stand of thin, white-barked trees fills the frame, viewed from a low angle looking upward.
The trees are closely packed together, with their branches intertwining overhead and creating a canopy of golden and yellow leaves.
The forest floor is covered in dry, brown grasses and fallen leaves.
The light filters through the branches, illuminating the trunks and creating a dappled effect on the ground. Some trees have lost most of their leaves, revealing more of their slender, white bark, while others are still full with autumnal foliage.

"I think it's wrong to have the highest rate of funding for private schools in a province where we have the lowest rate of funding for public schools," the Calgary teacher said in an interview on Tuesday.
I agree.
