Grassy rocky area on the bank of Lake Michigan framed by bushes on each side. The sky is light gray and the water is choppy, several waves have sea foam. In between the bushes are yellow and white wildflowers growing among large gray boulders that are wet from waves hitting them.

"Hold Fast!" was recently suggested by #Indivisible as a motto for the Resist Fascism movement. The origin story cited for the motto involved sailors holding fast to the mast in rough seas. My ancestors selected that same motto, but our origin story involves defeating a wild bull:

Grippers engaged! The next photo in the series.

A photo of last night's sunset and a thought for you as you end your day. I need to remember to leave the past behind, especially my own "blunders and absurdities"! "Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could do. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense" Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Good evening, wherever you are 💙

Double Rainbow from 2011:
This was first time I noticed that order of colors in the arcs of a double rainbow are reversed. (Colors flip on reflection. Inner arc is from rays that only reflected once inside raindrop. Rays for outer arc got two bounces.)

..Darn power lines tic-tac-toed my rainbow.

It’s chilly and windy so let’s pretend it’s May 17th instead of November. Here’s some warm wetland goodness

10-Commandments for Resisting Fascism:
Written for Danes during German occupation in 1940, but as abuse-of-power grows, the list might be adapted for present day USA.

I love that the Danes also protested by singing patriotic songs.)

When I visited Fairy Glen on the Isle of Skye in 2014, it had a nifty rock spiral.
But in older photos of the glen, the "fairies" had made a pattern of concentric circles. Maybe they finished studying the physics of raindrops making waves on water, and they moved on to studying spiral galaxies.

"...So lovely was the loneliness
Of a wild lake, with black rock bound,
And the tall pines that tower'd around,

Quite a tumble! Glad you made it back home, hopefully still all in one piece.

Excerpt from Pope Leo speech that suggests human creativity adds value beyond the scope of an AI algorithm:

A Red Squirrel is leaning out from a tree trunk that they are holding onto upside down. The ground is covered with grass and colored leaves.

Hark!
What nuts from yonder branch doth fall?
