RIP U.S. Department of Education. Education Secretary Linda McMahon introduced herself to department employees with an email calling on them to join her in a “historic final mission” to downsize the agency and shift control to the states.

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.

Another trip in the Smokies. My knees always take a beating on the way back down, but it's worth it.

Did you know that parts of the Smokies are considered temperate rainforests? We hiked through one of those areas to reach this location.

A light snowfall in the Smoky Mountains. This was taken years ago.

We're getting our first snowfall of the year in the Louisville area today.

What we are witnessing is a narcissist ensuring he is surrounded with sycophant flying monkeys.

Shot this in Panther Creek Park. Autumn in the mountains is the best.

Free advice: Stop dreaming about that piece of art and start creating it. Even a small sketch can lead to something bigger. The magic happens when you work—so get to it!

There is nothing more calming to me than the sound of waves breaking at the ocean. I found myself here. This is one of my favorite places—The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse in Buxton, NC. #photography #lighthouse

The American public and the Senate Judiciary Committee deserve to see the Matt Gaetz report.

Repost if you agree.

Foggy mountain morning.

Trees are one of my favorite subjects to photograph.

Glad to be here. I'll be posting my photography, talking about gardening, books, movies, music, and trees. Politics, too. 💙
