Yes on Prop 50! Don't let the fascists disempower people of color, democrats, non white communities by negating their votes. Arnold Schwarzenegger is doing commercials against Prop 50 yet he has a Guatemalan son with his former housekeeper who could be stopped by Ice any time... Shame on Arnold.

Good morning! 🪶

Burrowing owl couple-- the male is standing and tilting his head to the side while blinking one eye. Only the top of the female's head is visible and one wide eye is showing from behind a plant.

You never know whats going to pop up during migration time This junior Yellow-bellied Sapsucker caught my eye with its interesting wavy feather pattern. On close inspection it had the barest hints of red on its head and throat.

Woodpecker with wavy black and white patterns clinging to a tree trunk.

So, I’m driving along the #WestCoastHighway on #VancouverIsland, #BC 🇨🇦 one day when I make a wrong turn. And this is what I saw.

And then I thought to myself: sometimes in life you get off the main road, even if at first it seems like a wrong turn, & something wondrous awaits ✨

The coastline of Vancouver Island, waves roll to shore under a glowing sun showering the earth below in glorious sunbeams. A grouping of tree near the beach are silhouetted against the scattered clouds. All is peaceful and calm.

sometimes you meet a sunbeam

#nature #behopeful #offthebeatandpath #photography #lifeisbeautiful #daybyday

Left of frame a sunbeam filters through the tall trees in a dense forest throwing it's hopeful light on a gravel path. The forest floor is littered with leaves that create a golden carpet. Beyond the beam a sunny spot just up ahead, trees illuminated with a warm inviting glow. The trail disappears from view as it meanders through the beyond.

Today’s theme for #BlueskyArtShow is #Relax, and that’s just what I’m doing. Heavy rain here today with snow in the mountains so I’m home enjoying coffee with my love, listening to music. Perfect- like the light hitting this mountain. #nature #photography #art #eastcoastkin #travel #photography

Beautiful early evening light illuminates the fall foliage on a mountainside in Utah.
