Northern Shovelers in flight — so nimble and tight in their formation. The way they can stay together and navigate their path through trees unscathed is absolutely amazing. They have been recorded reaching speeds up to 94 mph.

Me too. I continue to document pollution for our two daughters and future generations. You might be tired of my ‘pollution’ images but there’s a reason why I’m taking and sharing them.

Our youngest daughter dove into teaching this year and works in this district at a Title I school. 55% of the children will be impacted via the suspension of SNAP benefits. If you’re near Owensboro, KY — maybe you can help. 🙏

Since Trump took office and implemented his tariffs, the bag of coffee that we usually purchase at Costco for $12.99 has risen in price to $20.99 over the past few months. Same bag. Same store. Up $8.00/bag. Costco isn't paying the tariff. We are. Because that's how tariffs work.

The northern entrance into Yellowstone between Gardiner and Mammoth Hot Springs will take your breath away. Took a short hike off the main entrance road to find this vista. Totally worth the steps.

What’d be epic is if the next president demolishes the new Trump ballroom and rebuilds the East Wing as it was. $300M in bootlicker donations wasted.

Canada geese are seen taking to flight just after sunrise at the Oxbow Nature Conservancy in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, on Thursday, October 23, 2025.

Canada geese take to flight just after sunrise. My guess is there were 500+ geese on the lake yesterday morning. This flock was in the recently harvested soybean field. I was about 20 yards from them and when they launched, the sound was incredible. Definitely not a quiet species of bird.

Every morning at Oxbow, there’s about a five minute or less window when all of the birds take to flight before resettling on the water’s surface. Yesterday, the light was perfect to compliment the white egrets dancing up high.

Grew up in Seattle watching the M’s play in the Kingdome. Stayed up late last night rooting for history to be made. Went to bed gutted. Woke up rooting for the Blue Jays. Crazy how this stuff happens. Sports, man.

They’re teachers, nurses, Mennonites, and Marines. The Trump administration calls them antifa.

The No King protests represent a broad popular front. That's exactly why the president's allies are demonizing the organizers.

Trump says he will posthumously award Charlie Kirk the Medal of Freedom later today. Kirk was a racist, bigot, and sexist misogynist — fueled by hate and division. It’s disgusting.
