A monarch butterfly against a rocky surface.

This monarch butterfly was just chilling on top of a 14,000 foot mountain.

How did you get way up here, friend?

Thank you so much, Robyn 💙

Thank you, Jaycee

Autumn scene in Colorado Rockies. Vivid Aspen gold with snowy high peak against a clear sky.

Spring views: sand dunes with high, snow covered jagged summit as a backdrop.

Black and white image of a snow-loaded mountain.

Summer scene of colorful mostly snow-free ridges under a sky made hazy from distant wildfires.

Happy Colorado Day

I’m a big fan of writing a snappy clapback and then not hitting “reply”.

Still not the best at maintaining my zen online, but it’s worth it.

It wasn’t long into Trump I that I essentially quit rage posting (I mean, sure, I still dabble) and got really into photography and trail running.

The pandemic ending my music career left a little room for posting again, so I got some work to do but I’m making progress.

I was majoring in philosophy but changed it to journalism to be practical and find a job.

Should have just stayed with philosophy and… I don’t know. Everything is stupid.

It’s always been insane to me that fringe woke scolds are somehow THE problem with the left but that right ring extremist control the GOP is met with a shrug.

Insane to be mad about kids at Oberlin when current admin is literally building concentration camps.

Alas.

Remember: when you do speak up the same people who are angry about your silence will find a way to be angry about what you said or how your phrased it.

They don’t care about the thing. They are just online to find thing to be angry about.

We don’t have to play this game!

The only bad thing about staying out of the take economy is the people who say stuff like “your silence is complicity”.

No, dawg. I’ve been online a long time. I know that my having an opinion is worthless and what matters isn’t my outrage but the outcomes of my actions.

Cheers, Luis 🙏🏼

Apparently we are so accustomed to our appearance as seen through a mirror that, due to subtle asymmetries, our non reflected appearance is an uncanny facsimile.

We may not be so welcoming.

Doubtful I would be very nice to my double. I hear he’s kinda a jerk anyway 🤷🏼‍♂️

A momma mountain goat and her kid standing on rocks. Blue sky with clouds in the sky.

Here’s a couple goats standing on a massive pile of rocks.

Very cool orb weaver 🙌🏼

I touched too much grass today.

It was too hot to have been outside as much as I was. Would have been better off doomscrolling and clapping back at online know-it-alls.

I’ll do better tomorrow 🤞🏼

I feel like I have fairly eclectic taste in music. I really enjoy krautrock, jammy country, electronic, lots of hip hop, you know, all the normal stuff.

It’s pretty great seeing the toddler getting into the music:

“Drip drip from the tap don’t slip”

🥰

Soon, real soon, my child starts preschool full time and I’m going to have a find a part time job.

My options:
• Burrito taxi driver
• Substitute teacher
• ???

Seriously have to have better options than this.

Thank you 🙏🏼

Cattle graze and a pickup truck kicks up dirt in the middle foreground of a dirt road winding through a treeless green hillside. In the distance mountains are layered against a hazy, almost colorless sunset sky.

South Park, Colorado.

This is my favorite photo from last summer. I want to use it as the cover of my country album “Slow Dirt Roads”.

Can we admit, plainly, that in our information saturated world that the “flood the zone” strategy works?

Who can keep track of it all? Paying even moderate attention is bad for your mental health.

So much of our country voices for him in spite of everything known because they hate the rest of us.

I did not expect the Murdoch-owned WSJ to be the one standing up to Trump but here we are.

Dad hailed as hero after mountain lion bites 4-year-old in Olympic National Park in Washington state The father of a 4-year-old is being hailed as a hero for getting his child away from a cougar attack on a popular trail in Olympic National Park in Washington state.

Big W for the dad here. Scant on details but sounds like the dad saved his child from a mountain lion.

Middle of a Sunday was surely a busy, inopportune time.

So busy. Anywhere I chose to study the selection was in the way of someone else in a Very Big Hurry.

I’m no city mouse 🤣

Somehow made it my entire life without going to a Trader Joe’s until today.

Extremely anxiety inducing. I don’t think I made it more than a few minutes.

😬

“Country Feedback” always gets me in my feels 😞

A city intersection under a cloud~heavy sky. Multiple traffic lights flash red against dark, textured clouds. Power lines, vehicles, and buildings line the frame, with no movement~just air ..

A twilight parking lot bathed in soft sunset hues. The sky shifts from purple to pink to orange, layered like quiet data. Streetlights flicker on against silhouetted power poles and stationary cars. The atmosphere feels held~neither day nor night, just transition behaving.

A nighttime scene featuring a dark blue sky above a small building with a triangular roof. One upper window glows with warm yellow light, while the rest of the structure remains dim. A sign reading “Amy’s Automotive” is visible below, along with business hours and a phone number. Trees frame the left side, and the quiet atmosphere gives you closure and solitude.

A close up of the moon in a dark night sky, captured in its waxing gibbous phase. The surface shows visible craters and textured shadows. One small star appears near the lower right, emphasizing the moon’s brightness and isolation. The scene feels quiet, precise, and suspended in orbital rhythm.

Snow-covered mountains reflected in perfectly smooth water with a bit of brown grass with patches of snow in the foreground. There's part of a little red cabin with a metal roof in the right corner. The sky is bright blue with thick clouds at the top.

Fjord reflections in Lyngenfjord, Norway. This was probably the most beautiful drive I've been on.
