A moment away from the chaos.
A yellowleg standing in still shallow water (a delicate-looking smallish gray and white bird with long legs and a fairly long straight beak). The shore and water are reflecting the white foggy sky.

I paused to enjoy a moment of beauty on my way home tonight.

I woke to rain and dreadful news of our felonious president engaging in more illegal acts. Moments of joy were fleeting; the only photo I took today was of lichen (apparently a sign of clean air).
Lungwort lichen growing in a mossy tree.

Enjoyed a calm, gray day spent with a good book.
Cormorants perched in a line over the Sound. The light gray water and sky blend together.

Wishing you many small, sustaining moments of joy this year, as we continue the work of defending our democracy.

There were rumors the fog might lift. Thus far, the forecast feels mostly aspirational.
Two ferries passing through lifting fog with a bit more light peeking through the clouds on the left.

It is. I love it here.

I took pictures of small white fungi yesterday too, though it was a bit warmer and didn’t frost until last night.

My dahlia waited until late October to have its first bloom.

Me too! So glad you got to see so much while you were here.

Juvenile eagles are noisy, but ultimately he enjoyed the fish too.

It’s a nearly perfect day in this Washington, watching an eagle eating a salmon under a clear blue sky. It would be infinitely more relaxing if our democracy wasn’t getting picked apart in DC.

A belated happy No Kings Day to all who celebrate. I didn’t make it to a large protest this weekend, but I led chants and cheers for our local protest with folks aged 6-96.
A 96 yr old man sits on his walker, smiling, and holding a “no kings” sign with an ai generated image of Rump with a crown in a clown costume. A passenger in a window holds a sign that says “this too shall pass, it may pass like a kidney stone, but it will pass” as a woman in the foreground holds a sign that says, “of the people, by the people, for the people.” A sign reading, “no faux-king dick-taters, keep your tiny hands off our democracy.”

Beautiful! Mine just bloomed today too.

I love when my furry neighbors drop by for a visit and graciously allow me to pet them.

To think they used to annoy me loitering endlessly in the before times. I had no idea. (pic from August 2024)

Taking a moment to breathe. I will always appreciate a wide open beach and cloudless blue sky.

He came for another visit. He wanted all the love until he didn’t.

The rage you are feeling comes from the same place inside your heart as the love. This is why you refuse to accept a world where cruelty reigns and the fire consumes all. You have known hope and joy and kindness like you have known water. And justice is a river that demands you do not give up on it. - Nikita Gill

Mr. Mustachio visits my yard regularly (though clearly this is an old photo).

It has been a day, but at least I got to spend some time with my fluffy neighbor this evening.

One more brief moment of procrastination (also mindfulness & appreciation) before returning to work.
Sunny weather is in the forecast for this afternoon.
Mt. Rainier is dark across on the horizon across the sound, the sun is just barely visible above dark clouds, but has brightly lit a patch of water.

Sunset viewed from a grocery store’s parking lot.
Dinner was delicious and possibly worth missing a better view.
