If a law enforcement officer hides their face, they’ve already stepped outside the bounds of public trust. No excuses. No exceptions. In a democracy, power must be visible, accountable, and human. The moment we normalize masked enforcers, we invite fear, not safety. We deserve better.

Redtail Hawk yesterday, Rock River. I get photos on 2 rivers, which is why I mention which one. The Rock River is near my home, the Mississippi River is 30 miles away. I have a jet-drive motor on a jon boat for the rock & a V-bottom for big water:

The northern lights aren’t just colors in the sky. If you wait, really wait, your eyes adjust, & suddenly the sky isn’t still. It races. It breathes. And you’re not just watching, you’re witnessing. You feel small, & the universe feels impossibly big. Its not about capturing, its about experiencing.
