Tiny little mushrooms, hanging out in my forest.
Having your own forest is so cool. 10/10 definitely recommend.

Summer is definitely at an end. It feels like actual winter here this morning with a thermometer reading in the 20s. Brrrr.

St. Mary’s Cathedral, Killarney, Ireland
Ireland has so many beautiful old churches. I just couldn’t pass up this one with its beautiful purple light.
I need to get back to Ireland. My dream trip is a month to wander—and it still won’t be long enough. #ireland

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
—Harry Truman, 1952

Sunrise on the windward side of Oahu, off of the viewpoint on the Pali Highway. There is never a bad view here.

Being poor is neither a character flaw, nor a moral failing.
Being willing to keep people impoverished is.

Got my insurance renewal today. The plan I paid $428/month for last year will be $972/month in 2026. And my out of pocket max will be going up another $1400. Looking at other options.

November is the month of #gratitude. It may be more outwardly challenging this year. But I get to start my month off with the directive that I can begin walking again (with a walker--but I'm walking), so I am feeling grateful today.
How about you?

We need to stop calling anti-abortionists pro-life. They are NOT pro-life. They are pro-birth. They've made it clear they don't care what happens to babies after they are born. Pro-life would mean caring about healthcare, food, housing, education, and supporting all kinds of families.

I love fall. 🧡I also love cemeteries, especially old ones.
This is my favorite cemetery in #Colorado, Alvarado—just outside Georgetown. I’ve photographed it in every season.
