Aspiring photographer – striving for my images to reflect the joy, awe & wonder I experience behind the lens. Fan of non-violent resistance and good trouble. Believer in compassion, empathy, the power of love and conserving our earth for our grandkids.
Good Vibrations
Yesterday I saw a bullfrog for the first time! I grew up in Alaska, where there are no bullfrogs. Moved to Nevada and heard bullfrogs for years birding at the Bird Preserve but never actually saw them. And I learned they also vocalize using vibrations in the water, how cool is that!

"Distressed" Since January 20th I have been mortified, frustrated, saddened, disappointed and...very distressed.
It's time for this introverted nature photographer to join some good trouble. How about you? What will you tell your grandchildren you did to resist?

Sliding rocks in the Mojave desert are not limited to the Racetrack in Death Valley -- we found this rock near the Amargosa River Trail by China Date Ranch.

I See You
Got creative today for a photo challenge. The image expresses how I feel about DOGE calling their data grab an "audit". As a former auditor, I can say unequivocally that they are NOT auditing. Can you say AI? Hmm, lots of data there to train someone's immature AI...

This is the infamous Tecopa Hot Springs, sans the nude bathers. The folks enjoying their soak really had an incredible view. There was some great clouds and shadows and I really liked the contrast between the grass and the "naked" desert mountains. #tecopahotsprings #california #mojavedesert

Jane Goodall is at the top of my list of heros, she champions hope for our world. This week I added Rev. Marianne Budde who spoke her truth to power and Pamela Hemphill, who refused a pardon because she was guilty.
We may all have different spheres of influence but we can all walk our talk.
