The Oregon Table Rock. They are bizarre lava-capped mesa's that look like tree stumps that formed about 7 million years ago from Mt. Olsen eruptions. They don't make sense, but Mama Nature has her creative moods.

It is crucial to remember that America has a regime. The Trump regime. This is not a normal administration.

Every single person who is a member of his administration is there because they have one thing in common.

Lying to and for Trump. Sycophants.

This is the Trump regime.

It was cloudy in NW Indiana this morning, during peek viewing 😞. But I snapped this photo the day before. Visibility isn't in the cards for me tonight. Oh well. Your photo is amazing!

I’m an early bird. This was the moon I saw this morning. An eclipsed blood moon. It was amazing! I didn’t even know there would be one.

A cool gift from the cosmos!

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

A mushroom on a sunny day, among the green of dandelion and clover leaves. It has a smooth, tan coloured cap with an off white porous underside. The stipe is white with vertical brown striations.

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

Tonight's rising ex-Wolf Moon! Still very full but actually a 99.7% waning gibbous! A glorious deep orange glow at the moment but the colour will soon fade

There are two weeks until my election, and AIPAC has spent $150,000 to create the worst attack out against me I have ever seen.

Tillis: You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time in training it, and then you have the audacity to say it’s a leadership lesson. You killed a goat and said it was behaving badly. You’re a farmer β€” you don’t castrate a goat, they behave badly.
