I believe in gardening. I believe in humanity and kindness - books, education, candles, dirt, salt, roots, music, animals and their rights. I am firmly against fascism and a government that is not for the people. 🚫 MAGA, 🚫 Trump.

A look into a recording session I ran 10 days ago to record some soloists on 3 new tunes of mine. This is an ethereal, atmospheric piece titled "The Stillness Between"
I've been friends with these players for years. nJoy!

A Free Press, Not a Free Pass – It's Time for Fair Regulation

For too long, the UK press have bullied people, harassed grieving families, and destroyed lives, all to sell papers. We’ve all seen the heartbreaking consequences. They’ve hacked phones, listened to ...

It's aster time! I have never seen so many monarchs, bumble bees and other pollinators in my yard. I had 6 monarchs on my New England aster at one time! Maybe they are on their migration. Anyway, shows how important late season natives are. 🌱 #nativeplants, #pollinators

First fall colors starting here with Virginia Creeper. 🌱

Red leaves of native vine Virginia Creeper lit up with sunshine. In the background, limbs of a large maple tree with green leaves arch across a clear blue sky.

Good Evening And Goodnight Bluesky Folks,here is a picture of a oxeye daisy Flower that I Saw Today
while walking around my neighbourhood Captured on
My Trusty canon EOS R50

The picture shows a close-up of a daisy flower with white petals and a bright yellow center. A small insect, possibly a bee or fly, is perched on the center of the flower. The background is blurred, featuring shades of green and brown, which helps highlight the daisy as the main focus. The lighting suggests it was taken during the daytime.
