Followed this little sparrow around a tree today. Finally captured him. The first pic is rather funny. The wind was so fierce today, I caught the sparrow literally fighting to fly to a branch.

THIS IS BULLSHIT‼️

Undocumented immigrants already get almost no federal “tax benefits.” Fox makes it sound like there’s a giant welfare pipeline. Not true.

They’re barred from Social Security, Medicare, SNAP, unemployment, and most federal programs, yet they still pay billions into the system.

Michael Bohacek, a Republican state senator from Indiana who has a daughter with down syndrome, says he will vote against redistricting in Indiana after Trump used the word "retarded."

Now only did White House pool reporters not stick up for their colleague who Trump repeatedly called “stupid” but you can hear them thanking Trump a few minutes later after he ended the Q&A. Sad stuff.

I kept walking trying to get a good sunset frame but I reached my home and all I was able to capture (outside of the city wires that mar the sky) was a shot of the sunset through a barren tree.

Don’t know what I was trying to get with this shot. But, I like the shadows.
