A raccoon skull on the forest floor with a single stalk of a plant growing up through a hole in the top of it.daled sunlight drenches the scene.

I forgot I had some shots of this former raccoon. Perfect for the #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #LightAndShadow this Saturday. Not just the dappled sunlight but the ray of life emerging from the shadow of death.

A small light brown bunny sits on a purple blanket with one paw on a bowl of hay.

I can't believe it's almost June. Time flies when you've lost all faith in humanity.

A gray bunny lounges comfortably with its head resting on a soft gray blanket. It stretches out on a yellow pillow.

Recently I've watched several documentaries about the 1960s & the Vietnam War -- lots that's relevant today

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.

Start every day with this reality:

EVERY HOUSE SEAT and 33 Senate seats are up for election in 2026. THAT must be the focus. Let’s get disciplined.

Sometimes, I look at someone and I can see the whole rotten system. They made boys into men and didn't bother to teach them to be human first.

I'm tired of getting notifications and immediately thinking: "Something stupid just happened."

If anyone throws their shoe at him tonight, I'll send them a new pair.

A tiny Goldcrest peers curiously from behind a twisting branch, its round black eyes locked on the viewer. A bold streak of yellow and black crowns its head, standing out against its soft olive and buff plumage. One foot clings to the bark, while its wings blur slightly, mid-motion. The blurred background gives a sense of depth, making the Goldcrest’s intense gaze feel all the more direct...like it’s checking in on you mid-scroll!

A tiny Goldcrest just popped into your morning scroll! Cute!

Tiny owl, Big eyes. Saw-whet Owl.
