The earth seems richer on today's walk. It's as though touching the earth can erase all that is distressing, my gait slows and my eyes drift upward feeling no pressure from the entangled branches that dance above me. Weaving through the shadows anticipation grows as the sun beams warmly in the distance...feels like spring is close

grounding heavy thoughts

Through our Birch tree the sky is blue and golden. The fence is not to keep neighbors away but to give their dogs an idea where food is served. Another beginning. Grateful

A View looking over the reed beds of Norfolk Fens as the sun lowered in the sky. To the left of the image a drainage channel can be seen.

A reminder that in some parts of the British Isles, the land is flat and there is no end to that sky! Norfolk Fens is such a place and comes with untold beauty. Can't keep up with everyone not going to try but warm gratitude for all your comments.

Is it still a nature walk if the wildlife stops acting cool the second you hit record?

I took a stroll down the creek trails the other day and caught the local flora showing off.

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

Sunset on a cliff in Alaska. Somewhere south of Anchorage, we found an empty lot and pulled the RV in for the night. At the edge of the cliff are some pine trees with the glow of a setting sun behind them. A bit of the river can be seen in a clearing and the drip of the cliff was several hundred feet

Here's when Oregon athletes will compete at the 2026 Winter Olympics Skier Jackie Wiles will go for the gold at Milan Cortina 2026, along with snowboarders Sean FitzSimons, Alessandro Barbieri and Hunter Hess.

Congratulations to the four Oregonian skiers & snowboarders who made it to the 2026 Olympics. And a special congrats to my constituent, Hood River snowboarder Sean FitzSimons. It’s no surprise Mt. Hood trains Olympic athletes! We're cheering you on from Oregon's Third.

ABC: Do you still have confidence in Pam Bondi as AG?

MASSIE: I don't think Pam Bondi has confidence in Pam Bondi. She wasn't confident enough to engage in anything but name calling in a hearing. So no, I don't. She was responsible for the document production.
