Have been bonding with the hummingbirds at my peaceful Maryland Eastern Shore rental, and tonight, on the Autumnal Equinox and Rosh Hashanah, they finally paused long enough for a quick photo. A gift! They are fast feeders and flyers.

Left from a previous art exhibit at Antioch College’s Herndon Gallery in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Perfectly placed over the fire extinguisher.

Just dropped off my ballot for Maryland’s Prince George’s County Executive. Met some cool people at the Drop Box, which was heartening! In these weird, off-cycle, super-expensive Special Elections, I often feel like the only voter.
