As I was taking this shot, I heard a woman's voice saying, "Guess she ain't never seen no palm tree before." Actually, I've seen quite a few. They still amaze me. Especially when backed by an incredibly blue sky!

Wishing a Happy 250th Birthday to the U.S. Marine Corps! Growing up, this was always a special day in my house. Today I honor my dad, and every Marine in our community for their selfless service. Semper Fi. 🇺🇸

"At Stubb’s funeral in Lubbock, the church was full. Half the congregation was black and half was white. The speakers were his friends and kin. With Stubb’s, one was the same as the other. Color didn’t mean anything that day. This says a lot about the man .."

So regal. So beautiful and specialized. An evolutionary marvel. #Pelicans seem so large and heavy and yet they glide seemingly effortlessly through the air. They have a surprisingly large wingspan. Perhaps that's the nature of their grace. #photography #birds #wildlife #birdphotography #EastCoastKin

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.
This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Children enter the world with a singular goal: to be just like YOU.
Luckily they’re born with just the right tools to begin this apprenticeship: rapidly developing brains and finely-tuned powers of observation.

You don’t wake up one day a fully-fledged optimist, with sunshine coursing through your veins & a ready-made smile to greet every storm. Optimism is a craft, & it has its apprentices. Apprentice optimists spend years shaping grit into hope. I'm still serving my apprenticeship.

Hope is more than a feeling - it’s psychological capital. It’s something you invest in, a renewable resource that fuels our forward momentum.
