Look at this handsome man @williamshatner.bsky.social. I came across this photo at Ottawa City Hall, wonder what the story behind the photo is (sorry for poor phone photo).
A black and white photo of a young and dapper William Shatner. He is wearing a light coloured shirt, a dark suit and a paisley print tie. He is sitting in chair that has a shiny silk or satin fabric draped on the back.

So, for the last few days, every day, I open my Brave Birds (bravebirdpaperart.com/brave-birds) book to a random page and use it as a sort of a one card Tarot reading to help guide my day; here is today's page:
Photograph of page 52 from Maude White's book Brave birds. Page is held open with a candle in a glass jar used as a paper weight. Left page is an inspirational blurb about the Hoopoe and right page is an image of a paper-cut of the Hoopoe bird.

Here's a photo of a wood duck for a momentary break from persisting in your resistance.
A male wood duck on forest floor. He is colourful - red, orange, black and white beak; red eye liner; green, purple, and teal head white stripes, burgundy breast with white polka dots, iridescent back and cream belly. And, he does know he's very pretty.

This call box knows what's up.
Photo of a street in Oxford, UK. Foreground is a bicycle with a Red British telephone booth or call box behind it. The nameplate reads "Nonsense" in stead of Telephone as it would in working call box. The booth is filled with shiny glass baubles. In the background is the street with yellow-ish three or four storey brick buildings and a few people walking on the street.

Also, here are some Ontario Trilliums to help.
A cluster of white Trillum flowers - three white petals with a yellow centre growing above three green leaves at the base of a tree trunk. They look very cheerful.

Keep your chin up. The sun will shine again.

Today, I wish for you the single-minded-focus of a sea gull going to nab some french fries.

In case anyone needs a dose of cute today, here are Mr. Marmie's most fabulous paws (he's considering starting his own "onlypaws" channel)!
two front feet of an orange cat with long between toes fluff sticking out on a black leather seat. Feet look very soft.

PSA as we start a new week...

Seems like a good day to remember Faiz Ahmad Faiz's words today... (screenshot from www.rekhta.org/nazms/bol-bo...)
