🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

Peeling.

I am told this is the Seven-Son Flower Tree. Cool bark!

Have you looked at something nice today? - I ask myself this and then go look at something pretty (like this flower) in an attempt to keep my anxiety in check.
It helps me some. Hope it helps someone else.

Orchids.

News is often very anxiety- or fear-inducing to nowadays. Remember to take care of your health as much as you can, and take breaks as needed. Look at pretty things (like these flowers, for example).

From an orchid event - appreciate seeing so much color even in winter.

I usually take a break from photography during the winter, but when I went out looking for snowy owls, I also grabbed these shots on the beach. Stark!

The Fuji Five Lakes area was gorgeous, and the last place we went in Japan. Sad that Fuji didn't have a snowcap in November- that's climate change for you...
Still though, Mt. Fuji looming over every skyline was wonderful.

Nikko really lived up to it's name as a World Heritage Site. Absolutely gorgeous (and very crowded!).

It feels pointless to post pictures while my government burns, but I want to feel something other than fear, ya know?

The Gundam in Tokyo was a personal fav, love the overall series. I wish I saw the RX-78 in Yokohama before it was taken down, alas.

Toji Temple, Kyoto.

I loved going to temples at night when they had nighttime illumination events - completely different scene than during the day.

Kifune Shrine in Kyoto is famous for it's lantern-lined stairs, so you know I had to take a few pictures. The area around Kifune is gorgeous - and I bet even more so when the leaves change and the temple is surrounded by red.

The streets around Kiyomizu-dera, Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka are gorgeous, lined with lovely shops and small cafes, and crazy crowded.

The inari statues at Fushimi Inari ranged from nearly pristine to quite moss covered. Loved em all!

Fushimi Inari Taisha, Kyoto.

What a lovely hike around the temple grounds - and the higher up we went the fewer tourists were around.
Going again at night was definitely on the spookier side, but still very enjoyable.

Kinkaku-ji in Kyoto.

The first time I saw this temple, I was legitimately stunned. Beautiful no matter the weather.

Himeji Castle.

One of the few remaining original castles in Japan, had a great time exploring. The size of it was astounding.

I like/took this picture for the many angles within it.

Miyajima, Japan.

Catching the Itsukushima Shrine's "floating" torii gate at high tide AND sunset was an absolute delight. I took sooo many pictures, but this is one is probably my favorite.

A side street in Miyajima. Lovely place.
I'm going to be posting quite a few pictures from my vacation in Japan in the coming days - lots of picturesque things/places there.
