From my chair. I love the play of light from blue to grey. Today there is a clear line if demarcation. Blue sky on one side. Clouds on the other. Blue water on one side. Gray on the other. Painting with light is my favorite kind of photosynthesis.

The rainy season has started. My personal barometer is the state of the two storm water ponds on my woods walk. The lower pond always has a little water. Now it is almost full. The upper pond dries up in July. Now it is starting to fill. By mid December both ponds will be full again.

My message was simple today at No Kings protest on Bainbridge Island. It is time for those of us who love our country and democracy to reclaim our flag. This is what peaceful protest looks like from an old dude who started protesting during the Vietnam War.
