Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.
The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

I have a hard telling the Tufted Titmice apart, but I can recognize this one. This bird has a bit of fluff on the left wing. This feather has been like this since last Fall. It'll eventually molt away but for now it's fun to tell when this particular little one is around.

Good Morning! Any one else love old barns?
I took this shot while in a walk in my neighborhood. Our early morning skies have been ethereal.

This one isn't as sharp as I would like but I still love this shot I got two years ago today! The vibrant reflection on the Puyallup River in Tacoma was caused by different colored shipping containers and I watched as this Common Merganser paddled right into the shot. #Birds #Nature #Photography

Despite what we are often told, this line from Mamdani’s inauguration speech is what true pragmatism actually looks like:
“Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”

As light fades, it sculpts our world, elevates it into the sublime. Namibia's dunes are transformed into a magical combination of shapes and textures and, wind, the final touch, lifts sand into the light.

He’s blocking the Epstein files from being released unredacted. And Jack Smith’s testimony from being released. Because he wants Americans to hear his lies instead of seeing the truth for themselves.

A Red-tailed Hawk that had just flown in to perch along the path. Check out the pupils! The pupil in the sunlight is smaller, while the pupil in the shade is larger. Most raptors can adjust their pupil size independently based on the amount of light that is reaching the eye, which optimizes vision.
