A painful time realizing our country is now controlled by greed, power, racism & misogyny with our citizens in support. To counter that, I am doubling down on fighting #foodinsecurity by volunteering, donating and community gardening. Please join in the fight in your own way #hunger #foodbanks

Saw this Great Blue Heron this afternoon at Berkeley Aquatic Park. From a distance I thought it was a piece of wood because it blended in so well with the old wooden retaining wall behind him. Always delighted to come across a heron.

Large shorebird standing along the shoreline of a large lagoon in Berkeley that is connected to San Francisco Bay. There is an old, wooden retaining wall behind him. Water is pale greenish, gray.

I just downloaded these from Canada Day parade. I like to see people from different countries sharing their traditions more than Spider-Man. But we have to keep the kids happy.

It’s the ‘Last Hurrah’ for dahlias at Manito Park. They’ll be harvesting the roots soon to store for next year.

Trump: "You have Canada. That's so great to have, in fact. The president called and he wanted to know if it's worth -- well he knew exactly what it is. He knew the importance. Where's Canada, by the way? Where are you? He knew the importance of this."

#BlueskyMonday #MountainMonday

Hikers arriving at the top of Cerro San Luis under a blue sky.

#EastCoastKin #Hiking #LandscapePhotography

A couple of hikers are on a wide trail that has just reached the top of Cerro San Luis in San Luis Obispo. On top of the mountain is a large clearing and a wooden deck (just the corner is visible). There is green shrubbery on the mountainside. In the distance, we see the valley and more hills and mountains. The sky is mostly blue with some scattered clouds. This view is looking towards Los Osos and the ocean (not discernible in this image).
