Opinions were divided on whether to take flight or not.

Multiples of gulls at the edge of the ocean on a smoky day, half taking flight with breaking waves behind, half standing in wet sand, mostly looking towards the waves.

About time! Excellent changes being made by new artistic director, Iain Mackay.

Oooh, maybe the president will honor his VP by initiating 'Fake Hillbilly Day.'

Anna Herrington🌱🌿🌺🍀 @annaherrington.bsky.social · 1d

Exactly.

Is it time to post a bunch of American WWII soldiers under both the tags antifa *and* antifascist?
I mean, the Allied forces were antifascists, fighting against the evil of fascism in WWII...

Surprise first dusting of snow on the hills this morning!
October 13th.
That's early for us... still no frost in valley, though, just a foggy, rainy autumn Monday.
(not a b/w photo, btw 🤍🖤)
Wishing you all a good week!

Too bad the work day was rough, but how sweet to come home to this handsome fella!

Mt. Shasta on a crisp, clear Autumn afternoon.
#MountainMonday #volcano #landscape #scape #nature #photography #CascadeRange #FarNorthernCalifornia

Volcano with light snow covering at peak, pale blue sky. Secondary cone visible to the right of the peak/main cone. Valley in middle ground, with forested hills in foreground rising to mountains out of frame. These are the older Klamath mountains, and not volcanic, as are Mt. Shasta and the Cascade Range.

A mini golden sunflower that flopped over on its too-skinny stem once the flower got heavier with seed... still radiating sunshine though!
#SundayYellow #sunflower #bloomscrolling #inthegarden #photography

Small sunflower in full bloom with more golden a tone than the traditional sunflower, some of the petals have light maroon streaking following along petal ridges. Dark brown center with 'fuzzy,' lightly domed look, various blurred greenery behind.

I cannot stress this strongly enough: Support your local theatre, café, bookstore, bakery, and library. We breathe life into these places when we support them. They need us, and more importantly, we need them.

This moonrise shot was taken facing east, within a couple minutes of the above shot of the sunset, facing west.
Was completely amazing, how different the sky looked, the colors, the feel.
Felt so grateful to be up there witnessing Nature's grandeur.

#moonrise #photography

Full moon rise over dark mountians in various tones of blue. Lavender to pink to apricot tones in the lower sky with the moon glowing bright as it rose.

Sunset on the mountain top making the whole world glow.
The concurrent full moon rise in the east is reflected on the left, there, in all the atmospheric haze.
A magical evening up top!

Sunset in glowing yellow on right, smaller moonrise reflection on left, both just above silhouettes of mountain ridges with various tones and crisp lines, below.
The crisp, screenprint look to the image was there in person, not a camera effect.
Gorgeous sight at 7500'.

Now through *November 10th*
To speak up for public land protection from mining, logging, other development...
Send to Regulations dot gov

Maybe you know already, but there is an open comment period now through Nov. 10th to speak out against the BLM's Public Lands Rule which will remove conservation protection, leaving public lands open to mining, logging, other development. The second effort in 2025 to gut public land protection...

Rosemary is blooming ~ bees are loving it! Not that I've had much success getting a clear shot of any... 🌱
#herbalmedicine #rosemary #bloomscrolling #inthegarden #photography

Lavender/blue tiny, odd-looking flowers I'm not sure how to describe blooming all over green rosemary stems, only front center flowers in focus.
