Photo-shoot yesterday: #FederalReserve governor Lisa Cook, at the #Brookings Institution. Almost the entire discussion dealt with #economics, and not Trump's attempt to fire her from the Fed Board of Governors.

Re-upping this post from a few days ago. #MLB #WorldSeries #Dodgers #BlueJays
Home runs get all of the attention, but defense and base running make #baseball exciting. #MLB #WorldSeries.

Thank you Elizabeth. I used a long lens to get that shot, really.

Waiting for someone to explain why the announcement of a trade relationship that is worse than the one we had a year ago is received as a big success
Today's #BirdOfTheDay request is for #OddAngle shots. Here's a #grackle looking out over the National Mall from a perch above the U.S. Botanical Garden in April 2025.

Perhaps the last place you'd expect to see a stain-glass window is in a subway station, but here's one in the Novoslobodskaya Metro station in #Moscow, photo'd July 2019.

In this game a pair wins. The #BirdOfTheDay today calls for a pair of the same bird species in the shot. Here are two goldfinches chowing down on our feeder in April 2022.

The #BirdOfTheDay request today is herons or ducks. Here's a tufted #duck photo'd in May in St. Stephens Green, #Dublin. I had not seen that species before or since.

Egrets. We have a few. But then again, too few to mention.

Snowy #egret photo'd last month in Ocean City, NJ.

I ran in 1998. Still have my finisher's medal.
Television is fleeting, but YouTube is forever.
The #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #thinking, and this American oystercatcher is thinking ... probably about lunch. Photo'd June 2024 in Cape May, NJ.

Given the #sports #gambling scandal in the news today, here's my post last month on TechNewsLit Explores about sports betting.

Those who think sports betting won't affect sports integrity or suck in the athletes are kidding themselves. #SportsBetting
Sports gambling is a bad bet, especially for sports

That's very kind. Thank you Danielley.
Today's #BirdOfTheDay request is for #birds with #green. This green heron, photo'd on 25 April at Wakodahatchee Wetlands Park in Palm Beach County, #Florida should qualify. (If not the coloring, then at least the name.)
