Feeling down? Go on a nature walk; you will feel 23% better. Be creative. Help someone else. (That's a good'n.) Talk to someone you can say anything to. Nothing stays the same forever, good or bad. You will get through it.

A superb fairy wren, exhibiting a light blue and black head and neck, white abdomen, and brown wings, is perched on a slender branch of a tree with spiny leaves. The background features orange, purple, and pink hues.

A Pacific black duck, exhibiting a striped face and predominantly brown plumage, is perched on the edge of a reflective pond, with a grassy bank and purple wildflowers in the background.

A white egret, displaying its characteristic fluffy wing plumage, is wading in a calm brown lagoon reflecting the submerged trees.

The scene depicts a beach at dusk, featuring dark brown sand to the left and a contrast between vibrant yellow clouds and a grey, blue-tinged sky which is reflected in the ocean.

Thanks, Olga. Yes, you can get some good photos without spending a fortune. Best of luck with it. There's YouTube videos for days on photography tutorials, and lightroom, photoshop also, so that's free as well to learn how to do it.

I don't think the US corporate media really has a grip on the massive global changes to trade with the US: countries on a huge scale walking away from the US and doing new deals with other countries. This means changing manufacturing protocols and shipping routes to avoid unreliable US trade.

Adorable little squishes. Looks like a nice day out too.

Hi, Olga. I use a Canon R5 with a Sigma 600 mm lens. I took up photography in 2021 and started with an entry-level camera and a $300 Canon 300 mm lens. I use Lightroom Classic to post-process them. All self-taught from YouTube videos. Below photo taken with the entry-level camera in 2021.
