Hello World! #sunrise
🌅 Alt text for the image A wide winter landscape at sunrise shows gently rolling farm fields covered in snow. Bare trees scatter across the scene, and several farm buildings—white barns, farmhouses, and smaller outbuildings—sit on a ridge catching warm pink-orange light from the rising sun. In the background, softly rounded mountains glow with the same pink hue under a cloudy pastel sky. The overall scene feels calm, cold, and beautifully illuminated.

Kicking off #CFHack at #CloudfestUSA
a person in the lower-left foreground smiles at the camera while attendees sit at tables with laptops and notepads, facing a presenter and a screen reading “Massive THANKS to our exclusive Partners & Sponsors — Patchstack.” Large windows line the left wall; soda cans and water bottles are on the tables.

The sky lit up for two minutes, then snapped to grey. Look up. Take the shot. Say the thing. Moments don’t rerun. 🌅🔥 #sunrise
Fiery red-orange sunrise ignites a broken layer of gray clouds above a dark tree line and rolling green field with a fence.

Falling leaves and streams help me reset
Portrait view of a clear, shallow stream dotted with smooth rocks and fallen leaves. The water leads the eye to a narrow wooden footbridge centered in the mid-distance. Tall trees on both banks show yellow, orange, and red foliage, with some bare branches against a light blue sky. The scene feels quiet and crisp—classic Pennsylvania fall in Caledonia State Park.

#BoardGame night: Boop! 🐈‍⬛
Photo of the board game “boop.” — a quilted blue, paw-print board resting on the box lid, with cute orange and gray wooden cat and kitten pieces placed on the grid; the box front reads “A Very ‘Thinky’ Game for 2 Clever Cats” by Smirk & Dagger Games, with a rulebook visible in the background.

Hello world. #sunrise
A vibrant sunset over rolling grassy hills, with a glowing orange and red horizon beneath a sky filled with gray and pink-tinged clouds. A line of trees silhouettes the lower horizon, and a faint wooden fence runs along the slope in the foreground.

I've had a goal of going to an NHLgame with #WordPress friends. Thanks #WCEH for the opportunity.
A group of five people are sitting together in an arena, smiling and enjoying a hockey game. They’re seated in front of a large red McDonald’s “I’m lovin’ it” advertisement. One person is wearing a Boston Bruins jersey, another a New York Rangers jersey, and another a New York Mets cap. The seats around them are partially filled, and the lighting suggests they’re in an indoor stadium.

Busking for Wapuus at #WCEH
Courtney and Trevor play music together during a break at WordCamp Canada. Courtney, wearing a navy “Make WordPress Accessible” t-shirt, plays a mandolin while smiling at Trevor, who plays an acoustic guitar. Both stand against a tan tile wall with open instrument cases on the floor in front of them.

Hello world. #sunrise
Wide view of a vivid sunset: layered, textured clouds shift from lavender at the top to bright pinks and oranges, fading to pale yellow near the horizon, with a thin silhouette of trees across the bottom edge.

Weekends are for fire 🔥
A nighttime campfire with colorful flames rising high into the dark sky. The fire burns in a circular pit made of concrete blocks, and the flames display vibrant shades of blue, green, purple, and orange—likely from added chemical compounds that produce the striking rainbow effect. The surrounding area is dimly lit, emphasizing the vivid, swirling plume of multicolored fire.

🧡 Today I remember the children who never came home from Carlisle Indian School and other residential schools. Orange Shirt Day is about truth, memory, and the work of unlearning racism.

Tonight the sky burned with fire and fog. My heart feels heavy, yet I’m holding onto hope that light still breaks through the clouds. #sunset
Brilliant orange and pink sunset sky with streaked clouds over a rural landscape. A low-lying fog drifts in front of distant mountains, with trees and fields in the foreground.
