After lunch walk, it stopped raining for a bit. A few #birds about. A magpie, a preening mallard, egret in for the landing and a pretty chill heron along the river. Wishing you a great Saturday afternoon! #photography #birdoftheday

When I was in high school I did a constitutional debate program and witnessed this exchange:
JUDGE: what’s your favorite amendment?
KID: the third
JUDGE: why the third?
KID: because if there’s soldiers in your house, the other ones really don’t matter
BORN READY FOR 2026

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct.

My family knows what it means to get knocked down and stand back up. From combat missions to Gabby’s long recovery after being shot, we’ve learned that resilience is not about pretending things are easy — it's about doing the right thing even when they're not.

Morning walk, a bit of nature to relieve the tension, cold but sunny today. A cotton ball of a baby egret, what I think is a Jankowski's Bunting and a heron tucked in against the breeze. Some snow in the hills behind the castle. #birds #photography #birdoftheday Have a great Saturday!
