Despite what we are often told, this line from Mamdani’s inauguration speech is what true pragmatism actually looks like:

“Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”

As light fades, it sculpts our world, elevates it into the sublime. Namibia's dunes are transformed into a magical combination of shapes and textures and, wind, the final touch, lifts sand into the light.

He’s blocking the Epstein files from being released unredacted. And Jack Smith’s testimony from being released. Because he wants Americans to hear his lies instead of seeing the truth for themselves.

A Red-tailed Hawk that had just flown in to perch along the path. Check out the pupils! The pupil in the sunlight is smaller, while the pupil in the shade is larger. Most raptors can adjust their pupil size independently based on the amount of light that is reaching the eye, which optimizes vision.

I assume Trump plans to declare war against Venezuela tonight.

All this to hide from the Epstein Files, and to expand his business interests in another country to gain access to oil.

It's not about the drug cartels.

Sunset shot from the desert in October. I had my back to the Trona Pinnacles when I took this since I was there for the Milky Way but I like this shot! #Sunset #Photography

Neptune, the mysterious, which I planted last year after seeing it in a Bluesky post. I couldn’t find the right spot in the garden for ages and it sat in a pot neglected but once the clematis flowered it was obvious where it needed to be.

I know this is a trite shot, but any photographer that visits Lake Louise has to try! So I did.
