I am a retired graphic artist, guitar-picking gardener who actually gives a shit about people around the globe. Be kind. ❤️&✌️
I do typos 🙄 😏.
This tree has a name, Big Ben. It is a massive Douglas Fir that was not taken when this ridge was clear-cut in the late 1800s. 3 miles down from this tree was a busy limestone kiln area. Wood was required to heat the kilns. Big Ben was spared. I am but an ant standing next to it. Respect.

I went for a hike on the ridge, and it was heartening to see this.

California, please get out there and vote "YES on Prop 50" if you haven't already.

This encapsulates my sense of the unrestrained wealthy and petulant humans amongst us. They must be held accountable for their trespasses.

Back in July of 2019, I tried my hand at creating a GIF to illustrate what I believed TRUMP was heading toward. The project is rough around the edges but I posted it on FB.
I was viewed as "overreacting". People did not like the NAZI reference... and here we are today. Reposting.

I just got the letter (mentioned below) back in my mailbox with a US mail "return to sender" sticker attached.
But the address is absolutely legitimate and correct and printed legibly.

Yesterday, a crow flew down to our fountain, with a Large piece of Pizza.
After dunking it into the water with it's foot a few times, before departing, to let it soften, he returned to pull its cheesy goodness apart. It took awhile , but he/she ate the entire thing.
