The miracle is to walk on the green earth in the present moment, to appreciate the peace and beauty that are available now. -#ThíchNhấtHạnh

A charm offensive, aimed at those who would give the president unlimited powers, seize control of our most sacred programs, and strip away our inalienable rights. #NoKings #Hummingbirds #GoodTrouble 🪶 #Birds

Two hummingbirds are perched on a red nectar feeder. The one with its back to the camera has its wings extended in take-off position, and the other one--perched to its left--is holding its tail high with its wings angled backward..

All of what you say is true, but speaking from the chauffeur-driven passenger seat of a vehicle traveking a quiet road …that isn’t exactly a warrior’s stance. What did you do today to fight back?

In all the chaos, I would urge folks to remember that a lot of folks now don’t know when their next check will come.

The vast majority are good people who love this nation deeply, and many of them are still working despite not knowing when they’ll be paid

Have compassion.

Leaf peeping in Upstate New York. It’s not peak season yet, but the autumn sun is peeking through the clouds—a beautifully textured backdrop for #fall foliage. And who doesn’t love the cluckity-clack, rock-a-motion sounds of a vintage train? #Autumn #NewYork #Nature #Train #Joy @cavrr.bsky.social

I like that these chrysanthemums pop up again every year, without any effort on my part. I like, too, that they're a sunny yellow--a bouquet from Nature that I think we can all use about now. 🌱 #FlowerReport #TouchGrass #Nature #TurnYourFaceToTheSun #CoastalSoCal

A patch of Chrysanthemums with yellow centers and petals that fade to white along the edges.

Because everyone needs & deserves a fainting couch. Even better, one that does double-duty as a scratching post.

Wings Up! It's National Hummingbird Day!

This is one of our OG nesting mamas, Aryana. She's a non-migrating Allen's Hummingbird who reigns supreme over the entire garden.. 🪶 #Birds #Hummingbird #nature #SoCal #BirdsOfBlueSky

First day of September, and my “Elizabeth” rose is swanning like it’s still Spring.

Jeffrey the Big Lebowski, aka The Dude. He's a shy boy by nature; plus, he's a Maine Coon mix, so it's hard to fit all that magnificence into a single frame.
