From the archives, a sunset in spring
#Photography #BoulderColorado #Sunset #BloomScrolling

$A spring evening, as the sun sets between cottonwood trees barely leaving out at the head of a trail meandering through a park. The trail is lined with plum bushes covered in white flowers. The sun's rays refract a little into spears of light with hints of rainbow colors.$

Today I learned the US Navy spent years looking for Dorothy, the "leader of a vast ring of gay military in Chicago", thinking if they found her she would reveal the names of gay Navy personnel. Like antifa, she never existed.

How ‘Friend of Dorothy’ Became Code in the Gay Community

In the 1980s, the U.S. Navy carried out a futile search for the “real” Dorothy.

One of my favorite memories is walking up one of the Flagstaff trails in Boulder, happening on a bunch of magpies drunker than sailors from eating overripe apples fallen from old apple trees

Too many people live in cities that have hermetically sealed their minds from nature. We don't know where our food, our air, our water, come from. We often end up believing that things like robots and AI will save us from extinction. This belief is hastening our extinction.

I can't fix the big things, but I can do something about the small ones.

A few days ago I went to the post office to ship something. I put it in one of the flat rate boxes and went to address it. Of the 6 pen-on-chain doodads they had, only one was left, and […]

“A cold rain starting…”
Matsuo Bashō

A cold rain starting
And no hat —
So?

A monochromatic marina scene under dramatic storm clouds. In the foreground, a white sailboat with tall masts is docked at a wooden pier. Behind it, several other sailboats and motorboats rest in calm harbor waters. The overcast sky dominates the upper portion of the frame with layered gray clouds. Distant shoreline and more boat masts are visible across the harbor. Annapolis, Maryland. (U.S.)
