My favorite view in all of #SaoMiguel, overlooking #SeteCidades It took three trips to the viewpoint (first two shrouded in fog), but on our final day, the sun peeked out and we raced across the island to catch it. Breathtaking

I decided today that I’m moving to Albania. Because I’ve got to get the hell out of here.

“BRING BACK PETE”
Presser is over, crowd is still here. Popular chants include “No kings, only trains” and “Bring back Pete”

I’m trying to understand. States rights are good when it comes to banning abortions, but not encouraging public transportation?

More importantly, if Trump is permitted to overturn a NY decision on this, why would he stop there? Is access to abortion next?
NY Gov. Kathy Hochul’s response:

“We are a nation of laws, not ruled by a king. The MTA has initiated legal proceedings in the Southern District of New York to preserve this critical program. We’ll see you in court.”

#Kvernufoss One of the lesser visited waterfalls (we were the only ones there as compared to the masses mere footsteps away at Skogafoss) in Southern Iceland. Unique perspective from behind the falls as well.

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.
NEW: The USDA acknowledged that over the weekend, it accidentally fired "several" agency employees who are working on the federal government's response to the H5N1 avian flu outbreak.

The agency adds it is trying to quickly reverse the firings.

Haven’t added any photos lately, but thought I’d show some love to #Canada. What a magical place. These are all reflections caught at #PyramidLake

Has anyone checked in with the family of the Trump event shooter? Anyone think it’s bizarre that there have been so subsequent stories, investigations? Trump doesn’t talk about him.

Anyone bothered to see if his family has acquired any large sums of money?

Fantastic!
Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

My “babies” Josie and Emmett enjoying their new bed. The tail wag is cracking me up. Nothing is moving Em from his cozy nest. ❤️

I adopted these two from the shelter more than ten years ago. It’s tough to watch as their muzzles gray and their world slows down. Moments like this are so sweet.

Carolina night sky

Spent the week seeking refuge in in the mountains, and finally got a clear sky.

Harbor entry, Heimaey Island, Vestmannaeyjar (Westman Islands), Iceland.

I wish there had been a boat in the harbor, so that you could better understand the scale, but if you look very closely, there are sheep atop the rock formation.

Upper Nauyaca Falls, Dominical

One of my favorite spots in Costa Rica. Yet again, there were so many… We arrived early before the masses and had the falls to ourselves for nearly an hour. What a gift.

One of my all-time favorite adventures living in San Diego (2011) was driving a few hours out to the Salton Sea to attend the annual talent show at Slab City.
