Robert Adams: from 'The Place We Live' collection. No words except to note photography is a medium concerned with light. Also, seeing digital versions or even books in no way prepares you for what you encounter in person.

This is immoral, egregious and outrageous! Sadly, it is legal. Using its attack on DEI, the Trump administration has regressed Civil Rights 60 years. Couple that with gerrymandering & changing election practices and the result is de facto Jim Crow.

Three high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.

Life flourishes everywhere! In Namibia's beautiful Sossusvlei region, two lone trees live on the edge of a giant red dune which rises sharply above. In fact, one of the trees is buried in the dune's sand!

Like illuminated pearls the lamps shown from the summits of their tall poles upon the living texture below which, changing shape and hue unceasingly, sent up into the warm gray evening air an unchanging unceasing murmur.

Farewell to a great gato named Omar. 17 years he spent on this earth and he leaves behind a shadow of memories that will endure in all those that knew him.

His only regret in life was that he did not take more naps.
A cat must have a code.

ChatGPT note: 'The author is confused by the term 'literally'. Proper usage would be 'figuratively'.

ChatGPT can be an idiot, but this reply makes it a special kind of idiot.
