In my back yard in Hoboken at dusk this evening. First correct guess wins...well, the satisfaction of showing others that you know your urban birds. :)

Have I introduced you to Naima yet? I forget. One is from almost 8 years ago; the other is from this morning. She's a freaking loonie, but also the sweetest, snuggliest and scary-smartest creature ever. ❤️

I just reported this YT video for trying to get suicidal people to think that meditations and "affirmations" can make suicidal ideation go away--over a 21-DAY period. Those of us who've dealt with the issue know how absolutely reckless it is They need professional help, not New Age crap, ASAP.

Fun with Filters and beautiful mistakes in my garden yesterday. This year's roses and hydrangeas have apparently not had winter explained to them yet; they're still living in July. #photography #roses #abstractphotography #urbangarden #Hoboken

And a few more maybe-Northern-Lights-maybe-not photos from #Hoboken last night. #photography #funwithfilters #gonzophotoediting #colorsaturation
Then I went inside and feasted on #Epstein emails and the fallout thus far.

I went looking for the #NorthernLights in the cloudy sky over #Hoboken last night. I'm not sure if it was them, but when I increased saturation & vibrancy on the images I got some wild colors that I don't THINK would usually be there. Either way, I took some crazy-looking pictures. #photography

Absolutely not. I started taking drum lessons when I was 61, and now I'm 64 so...

I'm neither Patti nor Mapplethorpe, but I did my best to honor the 50th anniversary of Horses for Halloween. :) Go Rimbaud.

I'm too lazy to go all-out like some of my heroic Hoboken neighbors and hang giant spiders from my roof, etc., but I still go into full little-kid Halloween delight mode with my little displays.

Four more iPhone star-photos from last night (in the 2nd one, there seem to be a blue star, a green one, and at the bottom left, a red one--go figure). And a UFO 🤔, and, finally, a Calvados toast to fall & my sweet, crazy Naima. #SkySky #stars #nightphotography
