Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Native wildflower of the day here : Shooting Star (Dodecatheon pulchellum) 💖

I've been putting a lot of effort into planting native plants in our yard in CA, as they better support pollinators, bugs and birds and are generally more fire resistant. Check out this beautiful Douglas Iris hybrid that appeared this morning after all the rain. Excited for Spring. #nativeplants

Some quick studies today. One value, one color. #watercolor #artartart

A beautiful vista that I appreciated more than ever this week after finally getting past months of sciatic nerve pain from my herniated disc. My back and hips feel stronger than ever now and I have a renewed sense of gratitude for my health and for these amazing trails. #hiking #backpain #gratitude

Time to go get amongst some trees. #watercolor #artartart #earth

Ach, not that previous administrations did any way near enough to protect our planet, but god damn this current one really feels like the nail in the coffin. Just admiring a sunset and feeling grief for this incredibly magestic Earth we are so lucky to inhabit. #earth #beauty

Attempting to make art in the face of this madness. Painting is so meditative and good for the soul. I don't care that I'm rusty, that it's just black and white, I am just grateful to be able to get lost in painting for an hour today. Peace. #watercolor #artartart

Time to double down on art making. Will start posting my artworks here, older and more recent ones. Here's a little garden scene for some tranquility 😊✌️ #watercolor #artartart #soothing

It seems to me that the time is ripe for a Bluesky thread about how—and maybe even why—to befriend crows.

The new, improved trail system at Roy's Redwoods is now open and it's beautiful! Thank you @marincountyparks.bsky.social
