Shooting in weird purple, very low light after a thunderstorm.

It was almost sunset anyway and I was actually packing up the gear for the day, when I saw this young male Ruby foraging among the flowers...

Good night. See you tomorrow.

People who idolize Reagan but who are suddenly worried about Biden's mental acuity can call me back when Dr. Jill Biden takes up astrology.

Kevin McCarthy has ordered an impeachment investigation into President Biden.

You know what that means.

Yep, Donald Trump was still impeached TWICE, found liable for sexual assault, and is currently indicted in four jurisdictions and charged with 91 felonies.

Good morning

Tired of me posting about politics?

Let me make it up to you. Please accept this hummingbird lapping up spilled nectar.

No one tell Republicans that if they do succeed in removing Biden from office...

...we'll get the nation's first black female president.

Let it be a surprise.

Republicans know there is absolutely no chance of actually impeaching Biden, but the books HAVE to balance. Trump was impeached, Biden MUST be impeached

But, hey, at least if they're busy ineffectually trying to impeach Biden, House Republicans aren't fucking something else up

Republicans don't need to take back "their" country.

It was never exclusively their country to begin with.

Republicans, if there are any sane ones left, need to take back their PARTY from the extremists.

You want a better nation, be a better citizen.

Good morning

This morning's capture

Never forget how 22 years ago today Congress, Republicans and Democrats alike, stood on the steps of the US Capitol and solemnly promised America in the name of their god, that they'd put aside their differences and work together.

I say "never forget," because they sure did. By Sept 12th.

So ... Elon Musk is now essentially blaming "The Jews" for stealing $40 Billion of Twitter's advertising revenue?

Boy, that X is looking more and more like a Swastika, isn't it?

The Republican Party has basically become your crazy ex who woke up every morning furiously mad about something they dreamed.

Does anyone, left or right, really think a second Donald Trump term would be anything other than a revenge tour?

Come the next election, you can either vote for someone who will move the country forward or a self-involved megalomanic hell bent on getting even with the world.

Those are the choices
