Nothing more honorable than retrospection and accountability. Not everyone is capable of it. Huge respect for you my friend. πŸ€—

Is this the nest reused from last year? I’ve seen them flying over in my walks.

I am so very sorry. Pet loss is absolutely devastating. Sending love and comfort your way.

It is rough. Especially the 2nd one. But, a shingles break out … terrible. My elderly aunt told me it was the only thing that made her want to quit living.

All those rock concerts I attended in the late 70’s … and sadly the music wasn’t really even worth it 🫣

Overcast hike on the David Yetman trail, today. The brittle bush is popping.

This is infuriating and embarrassing.

…civilization’s path is a pendulum that swings both ways, vacillating between hope and despair, success and failure, and all we can do is hang on for dear life. Because it will never, ever stop.

I know a hawk needs to eat, but glad this squirrel got another day.

The dark skies really are wonderful. Being able to see the Milky Way truly is a gift.

I know everyone is hearing crazy things about Tucson lately; but I just need to counter that. Our UPS guy just left dog treats with my package. πŸ₯Ή
There really are some good people out there.

This Northern Cardinal seemed to be keeping an eye on me as he was about to swoop down to snag a seed. Spotted along Central Park's Harlem Meer this morning. 😍😍😍 #Cardinals #CentralPark #birding

Not sure what’s happening here. Maybe a counter to the Turning point outreach to the younger people?

I noticed the same here in Tucson today. The poppies along the roadside are too early. Even some lemon trees are blooming in my area. πŸ€ͺ

Good Bones Life is short, and I’ve shortened mine in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways, a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways I’ll keep from my children.

Reading poetry has been helping me stay grounded lately. β€œGood Bones” from Maggie Smith was especially moving this morning. www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/89897/...
