Walking through the damp woods, we spotted this unique shaped very large #mushroom on a wet dead tree. I had no idea what kind it was and after days of searching for what it could be I finally had to ask a friend who is an Interpretive Naturalist. After a couple days of searching he had finally narrowed it down to a #BlushingRosette as they come in many shapes.

Goodnight loves. Happy I’ve met y’all. ☘️💚

Smoke on Lake Crescent

As I made a trip up to the Olympic Peninsula I hadn't watched or listened to any news. If I had I might have found out that a few days prior a fire broke out in BC and the smoke was drifting south.
I turned in from the coast towards Port Angeles and was greeted with this smoke blanketed Lake Crescent.

The corporate takeover of American politics was rapid and ruthless.

In the 1970s, I watched as thousands of corporate lobbyists descended on Washington. Fast forward to today, and lobbying has become a $3.7 billion dollar industry.

It all began with the Powell Memo.

One of my daughters got her wisdom teeth out last Friday, so we chose to do a lazy spring break staycation.

I finished playing #DragonQuest11 for the third time since it came out in 2018, and I started playing #Persona5Royal. DQ11 is an all-time fav. P5 Royal has moments of greatness, but it feels inconsistent.

I finally caught up on #TheLastOfUs and then I watched #Ragnarok. I just started another Norwegian show, #beforeigners which is very interesting so far.

We also had a puppy party for my dog's 10th birthday, but I forgot to take pictures.

So my partner is designing a part with #CAD software and I figured their thoughts might resonate with the #developers here.

Good evening everyone, I hope your weekend is starting off right! We're just getting home and I'm settling in to take a puff and watch TV. Have a great rest of your night if we don't pass each other later!

The sunset today in Waterloo, IL at 7pm as we were dropping the kid off for a sleepover.

Medallion leaf motif carved in stone, mixed media. Did you know that historically, leaf designs symbolize fertility and growth?

A definitely chewy texture to this loaf. There was no added sugar or spices, just the fruit, mostly so I could compare the bread itself.

Overall not bad, but I strive for better. #breadPosting #crumb

Created from my original photograph of a Canna Lily, I added texture and colorful dots of splattered paint in Photoshop.

This young one was quite the entertainer as it preened and continually ruffled its feathers. Captured along the 4800 ft boardwalk at South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center the last day of February.

Stop saying the documents were "seized." That implies they belonged to Trump.

They were RECOVERED -- they were and are the property of the United States of America.

Bethany Mandel: "I am a Crusader bigot fighting to unperson vulnerable and marginalized people and promoting a book about that fight, about which I was asked the simplest possible question, which I couldn't answer because I am stupid and my upright position is contrived horseshit, and now I am emotionally distraught not about being a fucking bigot but being so bad at my bigot job that people who dislike evangelically intolerant assholes are being mean to me." https://www.newsweek.com/define-woke-bethany-mandel-conservative-book-1788538

Nevertheless She Persisted

A state senator of Nebraska, Machaela Cavanaugh has filibustered anti-trans legislation for 3 weeks. Even when she had strep.

I donated to her campaign. Link below the article.

Second attempt at a homemade Reuben sandwich. Turned out pretty great! 😋 #StPatricksDay
