If you attend any protest out in neighborhoods it’s best to read up first on ways to try to protect yourself as much as possible, lots of information on OCAD and ICIRR’s websites and FB pages www.facebook.com/share/1CFmUS...

Downtown protests are WAY safer for most people, though, in addition to being more convenient for most people. They tend to be a lot bigger and there’s definitely strength in numbers, and, well, they’re downtown where even ICE might think twice about their aggressive responses.

They alert others in the area of the activity and send out teams to try to help people being detained as well as their families, and sometimes protests pop up organically on site.

Camping on the Keweenaw Peninsula a couple of weeks ago for some landscapes and dark skies, I LOVE it up north!

More great blue herons and one cranky red-winged blackbird

Red-winged blackbird dive-bombing/harassing a great blue heron… not sure what the problem was, it didn’t seem to be too close to the shore or any possible nesting areas? The heron didn’t seem to be terribly bothered by it, though.

Photographing herons is a salve for my ego after missing so many shots of skittering warblers this spring. They stand so still I can even slow down the shutter to blur rushing water! 😅 #birds #birdphotography #nature #wildlife #waterbirds #paddlebirding #kayaking

Two for one! I was tracking the sandpiper in my viewfinder as it worked its way along the muddy banks of the river, snapping a few shots here and there, and never saw the soft shell turtle it passed until the photos were on my computer 😆

Scoping out places to paddle near Bloomington/Normal and discovered the beautiful Lake Evergreen 🙂
