How's everyone been?
I've had a rough year and been keeping to myself. Thought I'd poke my head out and say "Hi."
A couple injuries that required surgery and stuff with my youngest but everything is on the upswing. :)
This is the first measurable snow fall in my part of Maine.

Pity the poor Woodpecker...
The Green Woodpecker was here from very first light, (it woke me this am with a brief laugh) to last light of day, searching deep down for ants.
Here it is, about 10 ft away, outside the window.
It noticed me so I slowly backed away, so as not to disturb it.

Musk Thistle wildflowers were quite popular with the pollinators in June. I would say it is my favorite wildflower to photograph butterflies on.

A tiny human (2?) has spotted a pen of puppies.
Studying them for a long moment, she bursts into tears.
Dad asks what's wrong and looking up at him in abject anguish she wails: "I WANT TO PAT THEM ALL!" (1)

This world carries darkness in abundance, shadows that stretch long and cold. Joy is the medicine that mends what breaks, the balm that soothes what aches, the light that refuses to be extinguished. Seek joy in each dawn that breaks—let it be your daily practice, your ritual.

Ok Bluesky, let’s give this a go: I found this postcard in the back of a photo frame I bought at a London thrift shop.
It’s an unsent postcard from a woman called Linda to her parents. The front shows the Kremlin in Moscow and the stamp says 1984 (!).
I’d love to return it to Linda - can you help?

Greetings from Kyiv.
I’ve just listened to Zelenskyy’s address to the Ukrainian people.
My opinion?
This man knows what is right.
Ukraine is under enormous pressure from the current US administration.
Zelenskyy made it clear: he wants a decent peace. We all do.
Decent peace is not capitulation.
