Last photo of the day for me will be my favorite shot of my pet Great horned Owl, Owliver. He hasn't been around as much lately, maybe once a week but he came by daily for almost three months! I'd spend a few minutes to grab a few shots and then let him be.

Donald Trump’s lying again.
He lost in court when Illinois stood up against his attempt to militarize American cities with the National Guard. Now Trump is forced to stand down.

the most wonderful places are
the ones you don’t expect
when I started cycling in Silesia,
I only knew that there was
“some” palace nearby
I saw it, I sat down and thought
there was no point in going any further
I go back there every year now 😀
