Friday the 13th at the Hatch (Columbia River Gorge). Lucky day to get new glass - am pleased. Very minimal processing; crop & go. If you know someone who was out in the afternoon, I have loads more & am happy to share. @canonusa R6 MKII, RF100-500 @breakthroughfilters polarizer

I manage sailing clinics & races in the Pacific Northwest. Many come down from Canada and even Europe as we're a part of international fleet circuits. International registration is way down & most have chosen not to pay in advance (will incur a late fee)

It's required in the mosque. They have a bin full of them as you enter & by the looks of it, that's where she got hers

Women haven't been required to wear a hijab (headscarf) or abaya (cloak) since 2019. Very normal in public to see both or just an abaya (esp westerners, my pref, bring a scarf JIC). Wearing neither is uncommon in public, but norm for foreign dignitaries & private occasions. Burkas are rare

It's crazy. My hubs travels to the middle east for work. I go with when I can. Just 3 years ago my MAGA fam wouldn't even look at my Saudi pics, much less hear my stories. Now they have no prob w/ Saudi $ in our govt & the Jared thing was just business πŸ™„

Moments, not thinking, just seeing... I took this at Austin Music in Panama City Beach waiting for my airport ride. Packed for a week, stayed a month, helped my mom cross the 🌈bridge. Estate is settled. Time now to get back to me. Come out of the fog. #PhotographersUnited #SamsungGalaxy
