I’m back after a bit of a hiatus. This is from my recent trip to Pennsylvania.

Poconos Sunrise

#Photography #Sunrise #EastCoastKin
The silhouette of a naked post-autumn tree stands starkly against an explosive sunrise in the Poconos Mountains in Pennsylvania. Red, orange, yellow, magenta, and blue color the cloudy sky.

Yesterday I lit a candle for the surviving National Guard soldier and hope he survives, even though I disagree with his hateful assignment. Not every Afghan should be held responsible for the crimes of one, but that seems to be who we are today. Too bad for us. Too bad for the spirit of America.

Dracula (Christopher Lee) just killed Van Helsing (Peter Cushing). Somewhere in the hills of Northern CA, Van Helsing will disappear forever. Their long feud comes to an end just before the year does. Vampires everywhere can have a merry and a happy…

Ducks in trees?? What is the world coming to?!

Actually, black-bellied whistling ducks are tree nesters, so this one is right at home.

Pete Buttigieg on Indiana’s Redistricting:

“You know, a big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered — to make him feel inevitable — and yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable & you are not without power—”

Some Texas morning magic with this encounter because these guys usually don't hang around for me. Caught a Northern Harrier hunting in the fog and mist at first light and needed every bit of my Canon R5 and Canon RF400mm F2.8 to shoot him. #Birds #BlueSkyPhotography #NatureLovers #Wildlife #Canon

We’re supposed to be impressed by the U.S. military seizing a civilian tanker.

A CIVILIAN tanker.

Apparently we’ve established that if the US can seize the largest tanker off Venezuela, it can just as easily seize a small, alleged drug boat without murdering the occupants.

Maybe the best thing about carrots is that you can eat them in bed without making crumbs.

Misty Morning in the Poconos

A small white house surrounded by late autumn trees basks in the soft glow of the morning sunlight. Beyond, the rolling hills are shrouded in a mist. The tones of the scene are warm and earthy.

The front of an old New Orleans shotgun duplex house stands propped up by braces. The rest of the house is missing. The late ray sun blazes through a window in the gable. The two front doors have side lites with colorful stained panels.

A bit of wild meteorological and lighting shenanigans. A billowy cloud casting its shadow across a thinner wispy cloud.

#Photography #ClassicMono #Cloudsky #EastCoastKin
Billowy clouds at the bottom of the screen cast a shadow upon a veil of lighter cirrus clouds, creating a dramatic effect.
