Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #NestBuilders. An adult Eurasian Blue Tit brings moss for the nest. Probably the female, details in the alt text.

An adult Eurasian Blue Tit with moss for the nest inside a nest box. One side of the nest is constructed with moss, the other side dry grass. Each adult had a preferred side of the nest. The male always stood on the right side when feeding the female during incubation.

On a hillside there are chalet houses and above them are the Julian mountains. The one on the right is tree covered and the others are grey in colour and a little misty. The sky is cloudy with just some pale blue showing through.

Happy #MountainMonday and #BlueskyMonday
From the heart of the Livingston #Mountains in Glacier National Park
A hike up to Lower Quartz Lake

#Nationalparks #EastCoastKin #Artyear #scape #landscape
The lake lies calm and brilliantly colored—its surface shifting from deep turquoise to a lighter, glassy blue as the shallows reveal smooth stones beneath the water. The clarity is striking: you can see the gradual fade of pebbles as the lake deepens, each layer of color giving way to the next. Along the left edge, a fallen tree extends into the water, its bleached limbs softened by time and weather, adding a quiet, natural marker that pulls the foreground into the wider scene. Across the lake, a dense wall of spruce and fir climbs the opposite slope in a solid sweep of green. The forest looks untouched—dark in its depths, brighter where sunlight catches the tips of individual trees. The ridge above forms a gentle, even silhouette against the sky. Overhead, the sky glows a clean alpine blue, with a large, slow-moving cloud drifting across the upper right corner—its shadow softening parts of the landscape while the sun keeps the water luminous. A narrow log footbridge, weathered to silver by years of sun and snow, stretches across the clear, fast-moving creek. Its handrails lean at handmade angles, supported by sturdy diagonal braces and anchored to old stone-and-wire abutments—remnants of practical trail craft that feel both humble and enduring. Beneath the bridge, a tangle of pale driftwood clings to the rocks, its roots polished smooth by the current. Quartz Creek itself runs bright and crystalline, the shallows revealing stones mottled in greens, browns, and amber tones. Sunlight dances across the surface, breaking into shifting patterns as the water threads past rocks and fallen branches. Beyond the bridge, the creek winds upstream toward a dense wall of evergreens—tall spruces and firs rising in a deep, shadowed sweep that frames the entire scene. Their tops catch the light, creating a layered contrast against the vivid alpine sky. A patch of cloud drifts in from the upper left, softening the brightness just enough to add texture without muting the day.

Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-NY) notes that Elon Musk's personal tax rate was only 3.3% and Jeff Bezos' was only 1%, because they are able to take out tax-free loans against their stock.

He has introduced a bill to TAX those loans…

It's time for billionaires to pay their fair share!

Yet trumps birthday become a free entry day? Unreal ⬇️
Please explain to me how only removing Juneteenth and Martin Luther King days from the free days at national parks is not racist. Thank You.

My little coworker has requested a one on one meeting with me. I think he may be about to ask for a raise, of additional treats and belly rubs. His request will be granted 😀

A small hummingbird sits on the end of a branch and turns towards the camera. Its body is covered in what appear to be reflected vibrant green scales, which are just small round-shaped feathers with a metallic appearance. Its wings and back have the same feathers but reflected green, yellow, orange, and blue.
