Good morning. ☮️✌️🪻
4 April 2025
Yesterday, we spent time working in the backyard. I repaired a hinge on the back gate and mowed the lawn for the first time this year. I also trimmed around the fence until the battery on my trimmer died—I had forgotten to recharge it after its last use. In that moment, I couldn’t help but think, 'What a wonderful feature: built-in breaks! 😂' It turned out to be the perfect excuse to call it a day. Meanwhile, my wife was busy in the raised garden, planting something new. I noticed several little seed packets in the kitchen, hinting at her plans. This is the first time in years that something other than weeds will grow in the garden. I can't help but wonder what’s gotten into us—where did this burst of energy come from? Must be biorhythms at work.

“Minnesota lost a legend yesterday in wildlife photographer Jim Brandenburg. Gwen and I are sending our love to his family.
Here’s his photo ‘Chased by the Light’ taken in Ely.” - Minnesota Governor Tim Walz

@noondlyt Seems to me you have the subject and object reversed in that second clause.
@lovelylovely that person wearing the dress looks especially feminine
Finch Above
This is a male house finch (Haemorhous mexicanus), you can tell by his rosy plumage around his head and chest.
You know, the photographs that I post here are not quite a vivid as the same photographs that I post at my pixel's gallery, because here, I reduce the size of the photos and usually make a slight reduction in the quality of the photos to make them easier to load.
Take a look:

@SearingTruth @spaceghoti You need to put that “truth” back on the grill. It is not adequately seared yet.
@Melissabeartrix You mean, like when you fix a dog?
Because, that might help.
Though, the world would probably complain a lot.
@littlemiao It was … not good. But there were worse.
And the Children Shall Lead
That Which Survives
The Savage Curtain
The Game (SNG)
Avoid those at all costs.
@AlliFlowers AIUI, there was a fair number of American voters who failed to vote for Ms Harris because they were afraid the MAGAts who get all violent and stuff if ShitGibbon lost.
I guess they would rather be shit upon than face crazy angry idiots.
@RickiTarr when I hear people call themselves a founder I think of the intransitive verb
Sitting in the Morning Sun
In the water off the beach at Gulfport, Mississippi, there are several timber piles, reaching up out of the water a hundred meters or so offshore. Birds use them to rest on, particularly the birds who dive for their food. This silhouetted bird appears to be a brown pelican (Pelecanus occidentalis).
My photo gallery contains more that 900 images that I've chosen to share. Most are there for their visual appeal but there are a few novelty images. You can check out my gallery at:

@georgetakei Who even goes to ShitFilet? I do not want to meet those people.
@talia_christine Shitgibbon will be the first to issue an executive order to revoke a pardon. SCotUS will uphold the order.
Then, some day, they will realize that the worms are out of the can.
@noondlyt Do you still type that name? I use various alternatives, like “Individual-ONE” or “CFSG” or many others. I refuse to type or write “T***p”. If I have to, I will use Доналдь Трамп.
@ppxl Imagine there's no ShitGibbon
It's easy if you try
No MAGAt bullshit below us
Above us clear blue sky
It never was about abortion
