Good Morning Bluesky! Happy Autumn. #photography #sunrise
Today's visit to church takes us to the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist in Savannah, Georgia. Construction began in 1873 and ending 9n 1899 (because of a devastating fire in 1898). The church has 16 gargoyles among it's intricate decorations. #Photography #History #Savannah

What's happening today is far worse than the Red Scare. This comes with Orwellian surveillance and active disregard for the rule of law by the chief executive.
This is what authoritarianism looks like.
Good-night Bluesky! #photography #sunset

All hail VICTOR!!! He's a real-life hero whose selflessness & courage is an inspiration to us all. Wishing you a complete & speedy recovery. I salute you, sir! 🫡
For #MountainMonday, take a trip to the highlands of Scotland where you will find Stac Pollaidh. #photography #travel #Scotland
This morning's visit to church takes us to Glasgow Cathedral. Building began in 1135 and took 350 years. It became a pilgrimage site due to the tomb of St. Mungo being there. #photography #history #Scotland
Because the radical right believe in free speech.
Happy #Caturday! This is Zeuss. The second s is because my wife thinks he looks like a Dr. Seuss character. He began hanging around our house after Helene hit last year so we adopted him.
A touch of serenity for your #ForestFriday #photography #EastCoastKin
Yeah. You could have taken out 80-100 pages of landscape and geology and still have a long, captivating novel. I just started Green Mars today.

Rest in Peace, Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman. She was targeted and assassinated on June 14, 2025 between 2 am and 3:35 am CDT in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. Vance Boelter was targeting 70+ Democrats at the time of the incident.

Thank you. I live in Western North Carolina so most of the waterfalls and other nature pictures are from that area (including North Georgia, Upstate of SC, and Eastern TN). We also travel quite a bit and are usually exploring nature where we go.

Trump said Vietnam War was lost because of being "wokey." (Nixon woke?). The real reason was bone spurs. If Trump had been medically fit to serve, America would win every war bigly.
Good Morning Bluesky! May you feel the warmth and see the beauty of each moment. #photography #sunrise
Just what I'd expect

Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness. Desmond Tutu
The president is using the military to dismantle cities that didn't vote for him The president is using the military to distract from women speaking out against his and Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuses. We are not living in ordinary times. Extraordinary responses are called for.
Glen Falls near Highlands, NC is actually a mile long series of cascades and falls. The trail gives easy access to three main falls but there are others if you are adventurous. #photography #waterfalls #WaterfallWednesday.
A beautiful arche shaped iceberg that we found in Disko Bay early August during one of our late night sailing. To give you an idea the mast of the boat is around 30 meters high 😵💫⛵️🧊… This piece of ice was massive.
Happy #MountainMonday! Since I'm off today, I might just go hike in the mountains. #photography #GSMNP

Today's visit to church takes us to Greyfriar's Kirk in Edinburgh, Scotland. Originally built in 1620, it's had two renovations after explosion and fire. The grave yard is famous from the story of a dog (Bobby) that stayed at his owner's grave. A gift shop capitalizes on the story. #photography
Amazing that he keeps calling it the Rose Garden despite it being a paved patio.
Good picture lousy movie

Somebody did something similar on Substack recently. It's a great idea.
I didn't say that I don't resist and work towards preserving democracy. Nor did I mean that I ignore news. I still need a space where I can see beauty and be inspired. This is that place for me.
I've tried to keep Bluesky my happy place--pictures of nature, beauty, and, of course, cats. Sometimes news creeps in. I want to keep my chill vibes. So every time I get upset at the direction of my country, I will post a picture of a flower. Luckily, I am loaded with flower pictures.
Our visit to church today takes us to the Basilica of Notre Dame de Nice in Nice, France. #photography #travel

We are moving dangerously close to martial law. Trump openly said he intends to “go after” Chicago and New York in his next federal crackdown, saying he’s prepared to deploy U.S. troops against civilians.
Okay. I was only going off comments in the thread and wasn't aiming for factuality, but facetiousness.
The amazing part is he admitted it. I mean we all knew he prepped and promised her. And then she's quickly whisked off to minimum security awaiting her pardon.
Gigantic iceberg and golden sky reflection captured in Disko Bay early August during one of our photo tours. Beautiful Greenland 😍 #photography #adventure #nature
Well, it only applies to platforms of 5 million or more. I doubt Trump has that many real sycophants drooling over his incoherent, all-caps rants.
Finally!!! Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia has been released from TN custody and is on his way to reunite with his family in Maryland.
Some urges should be resisted and some should be given in to.

Well, they took away the cracker. Next thing you know they'll replace him with a black.

Good for her, and for Boston.
Our visit to church this morning takes us to Església de Sant Bartomeu in Valldemossa, Mallorca. The church originated in the 13th century with modifications in the 14th century. The facade and bell tower are from 1930. #photography #history #travel #Mallorca
This sunset was in Adams Cove, Newfoundland, a community that is being destroyed by a large wildfire.

Armed Trump administration agents wearing masks just showed up outside of Gavin Newsom’s press conference. This is what rising fascism looks like.
