Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country?

There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

Somehow, this song just keeps coming back day after day, weaving its way into a feed or station somewhere.

Just a whole vibe…

A little #liminal night photography for today's #JanuArty prompt: #trees

#NightPhotography #ClassicMono #StreetPhotography #Appalachia #Fog #MicroFourThirds
A wide-angle black and white photograph. A bare tree sits in silhouette against the background light of a street lamp on a small town street at night. A brightly lit store roofline sits to the side as houses fade into the background. The foreground is filled with darkness.

Water droplets Wnever fail to amaze me in #BlackAndWhite.

#BNWMacro #Macro #Photography #Water #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #Monochrome #Plants
A monochrome macro photo. A branch of a yew hedge nestles a single water droplet atop it between its pointed leaves. Light reflects a tiny shot back of the hedge and tiny whisps of spider webbing lace between leaves.

A quiet #macro moment for today's #ColorADay #GreenSat prompt. One of my favorites of this shoot.

#MicroFourThirds #Plants #EastCoastKin #Vines
A color photograph. Gently blurred, a vine glows in the sun as the yew hedge it winds through comes in and out of focus around it. Offshoots of the vine curl over and over, creating spiral curls that droop.

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

And a bit of #WatkinsGlen for #ForestFriday. Sometimes, the little things amongst all the big are my favorite parts of a walk through the woods with my camera.

A softly lit close-up color photograph. A mossy rise is covered in green and white. Twigs and pine needles rest against the rise, while an old yellow mushroom cap peeks over the ledge. The forest directly behind fades into a blur of greens and browns.

A bit of #mushroom fun for today's #JanuArty prompt. I present #Matching.

A color macro photo. Two white-grey mushrooms with thin stipes and long, steep gilled gaps sit nestled in the grass. The grass fills the frame from top to bottom, a sea of greens and yellows.

Today's #FlyDay shot comes from the balloon rally this summer. JUST missed the focal point I was going for, but still love it.

A black and white photograph. Two gull-like birds fight just over the surface of a small river. Behind them, people cross a bridge, blurred out by distance. The sunlight filters through the birds, giving their wings an almost translucent look.

My local library for today's #scape photo. Same TTArtisan 25mm lens.

#ColorADay #BWFri #ClassicMono #Monochrome #M43 #Snow #NightPhotography #EastCoastKin
A small courtyard surrounded in brick and stone archways sits dimly illuminated by an old style street lamp and wall sconce. Snow covers the ground and bench, with soft, rounded layers adorning the flat surfaces. The snow reflects off, bright and white. A tree comes in from the left and a school’s blurry logo is lit in the distance on the right.

A large slow bend in the Androscoggin River provides enough surface area to feel like a small tranquil sea, it's surface frozen over and layered with 4 inches of fresh snow, barren trees rise up all along the river bank, their gnarled branches and trunks a chalky charcoal grey against the sea of immaculate white

Nothing says small town Christmas like a fuzzy candy cane hanging from a telephone pole, except maybe cranberry sauce in the shape of a can.

I don't know what this thing is. Some kind of harvester maybe, I don't know, but I like the see-through barn with all the kudzu in the background.

A black and white photo looking through a barn with some type of pull-along harvester nestled inside and a lot of kudzu vines covering the trees in the background.

A miniature mushroom forest rising from moss and decay of the lager forest floor— easy to miss, impossible to forget.

#Photography #NaturePhotography #Nature #MacroMonday #Mycology #BigThicket #Mushrooms #ForestFloor #Fungi #Moss #FungiFriends
Close-up macro photograph of small orange mushrooms growing from a dark, decaying log covered in bright green moss. The mushrooms vary in height, with thin stems and softly rounded caps, some showing detailed gills underneath. The shallow depth of field creates a layered, miniature forest effect. Photographed at Martin Dies, Jr., State Park in the Big Thicket National Preserve, Texas.
