Artist, paints a lot of flowers and landscapes. Love trying out new recipes and small container gardening, my coping skills to stay grounded in this intense world we are living in. A good laugh and a movie with friends is a great night out.
I moved these dark purple Iris late in the fall of 2022, I am delighted that they have finally forgiven me and bloomed! I missed them.

Scotland 🏴. This place has given me so much since I first picked up a camera in 2018. I remember my first visit and saying to my friend “I had no idea all of this was on the same island I live on.”

Trees may look inert, but there's more happening on - and beneath - the surface, explains environmental historian and author Daniel Lewis. They're not only essential parts of the ecosystem around them, but also the ecosystems that exist within them. https://buff.ly/42mSdmK

These firefighters are amazing, man. They are helping my friend’s cul-de-sac prepare for the worst right now. Cutting vegetation, putting outdoor furniture into garage, duct taping vents, etc. They do so much more than we know to protect us.

Oh myyy, a million followers here at The Good Place! That’s an unexpected milestone, especially in my 88th time going ‘round the sun.
Let’s make the world a bit of a better place together, shall we?

Why are Trump & Musk so fixated on Greenland?
It’s not just about its strategic location—it’s the minerals. As Greenland’s ice melts (climate change) it’s exposing cobalt, lithium & copper (key for EV batteries).Their interest looks less like America first & more like exploiting crisis for profit.
