#Stunning I took this pic on Thanksgiving, 2006, while driving home. Mille Lacs Lake is HUGE. That evening it was gorgeous. People were wading in the water breaking ice! I pulled over and took many photos. This is one of the best. #MilleLacLake #MN #sunset #PlateIce #landscape #Thanksgiving #ECK

#Stunday I took the pic years ago in Wisconsin. Yesterday I turned it into Halloween art with an overlay and other stuff. Fun! #ECK #Art #landscape #Halloween #pumpkins #witch #photoart

If y'all get a $5 offer from X on Twitter; google it. It's real money (as far as I know), but you need to give them ALL your personal info to get it. Didn't he already steal all our personal info using Doge?? He must be assembling a database for some reason. Be careful!

#BirdOfTheDay is #LMNO; any bird name that starts with one of those letters. I got this closeup of a limpkin one day and was thrilled. I love the detail it reveals. You always know when one is in the area during breeding season; their call is LOUD. #birds #ECK #naturephotogaphy #limpkin

#scape #autumn #fall #landscape #red #FallColors #ECK This red tree is GORGEOUS. I can't believe I've never posted this pic. I actually reduced saturation, it was so vivid. #photography #FallColors

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Juvenile. The alternative theme is #Green; green background. Little blue herons are born white and gradually turn blue in about two years. This juvenile has just started his journey to adult coloration. Green in the water = twofer! 😊 #birds #ECK #birdphotography

I'm pretty sure this bike was abandoned (note the flat rear tire), yet it remains locked up as if still precious to someone. #UrbanGaze #bicycle #urbansigns #abandoned

This made me laugh, it's so well done, but the truth is right there! I don't like Vance either.

I personally don't smoke (and wear neither scarfs nor berets…), but as I was surprised about what you said about hormones, I have some good news (maybe, you may rather use cannabis. French women can't however.) :

Re: Trump Accounts. It's a grift. Please google it and read the fine print. Even though it comes from SS Administration, don't fall for it!

The SS administration sent an email touting "Trump Accounts," and said several times "There may already be money in them!" RED FLAG, RED FLAG! I am gasping in disbelief. How many thousands are going to fall for this grift because it came from a formerly trustworthy agency? He can't leave too soon!

This is what we were posting about earlier. Please take your time and double-check your selections before submitting your ballot.

#BirdOfTheDay #Alt is #Corvids I took this picture of the American Crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) when I lived in Florida. It was perched in a palm tree in my courtyard, gazing at the sun. Looks good there, doesn't it? 🙂 #birds #ECK #birdphotography #naturephotography #FL #crows

Woohoo! My ballot has been counted. 😁

There sure is a lot of upsetting news on the timeline this morning, so I'm posting this pic of my friend's dog, Sky, when she was a puppy, playing in the creek one morning. #dogs #pets #playful #photography #petphotography #Sky

#BirdOfTheDay #Black&White They have historically been called "wood ibises" because of their long, curved bills, or "flintheads" due to their scaly, featherless heads, but the wood stork is a true stork. See ALT for habitat. #birds #ECK #birdphotography #naturephotograpy #storks

Exactly where are their headquarters? Oh wait...we know ARLINGTON CEMETERY

I voted yesterday, all blue up and down the ballot. Have you voted yet? Check early voting in your state and then make a promise to go! It's fast, painless, and we need that blue wave to happen.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay #Alt theme is #Brown, any bird with a brown background. The great egret against a dark brown tree and light brown cedar knees and branches in front of it. This pic shows you a little of its habitat in Florida. #birds #ECK #birdphotography #naturephotography

Look what one of our bird lovers has done! Isn't it terrific?

I can't believe we're HERE at this point in history. Everyone: PLEASE vote. If Dems take the house and senate, we can begin restoring our country.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Reflection: any bird’s reflection. This little blue heron was stalking the edge of the water in a ditch, and somehow the reflection was outstanding! #birds #ECK #photography #birdphotography #naturephotography

As inflation hits a 4-month high and the Iran war keeps driving up gas prices, Trump unveils his big plan with the midterms two weeks away: a "World Class Championship Golf Course" in D.C. Work starts Nov. 15, closing a public course for about 15 months, he says.

🚨SENATE BLUE WAVE ALERT: Nate Silver’s model now gives Democrats roughly a 75% chance of winning the Senate — with the current polling map pointing to a possible 54–46 Democratic majority. Even a 2-point polling miss still leaves Democrats ahead, 52–48. Keep pushing. Vote. Volunteer. Donate.

#Stunday This chipmunk was keeping me company on a lovely summer morning. See ALT for processing details. #chipmunk #ECK #photography #naturephotography #OOB #triptych

#BirdOfTheDay #Dawn The light was wonky, so there were few details on the heron. But the eye showed up, and his breakfast looked pretty good, so I kept the photo. #birds #birdphotography #ECK #photography #naturephotography

#BlueSkyArtShow #Walls I often look at apartment buildings like this and wonder about the lives of people living in them. Do the brick walls keep them safe or separate them from others? #ECK #photography #brickbuildings #aptbuildings #UrbanPhotography #ColorADay #GreenSat

2 years ago millions of working families had the affordable SAVE student loan repayment plan, with a clear path to get out from under that debt. Today trump is moving 8 million families into unaffordable plans and resuming garnishment of social security benefits for education debt.

#ForestFriday #ECK The bench is waiting for you. Just walk down the path and sit. A light breeze is blowing through the leaves, and the birds are singing. This will be the calmest, most peaceful moments of your day. #woods #trees #peace #naturephotography #photography #TwinsburgNatureCenter

Two more pics from my visit to the Ledges in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The area is gorgeous this time of year. #ForestFriday #ECK #fall #autumn #FallingLeaves

This is a Maximilian sunflower. I spotted it in the woods a few days ago. There was almost no background anyway, so I removed more of it to focus on the flowers. #BloomScrolling #sunflowers #flowers #yellow #ECK I'll add #ForestFriday because that's where I saw them. 🤭

Reporter and former statistics professor Greg Palast testified about this in federal court. Read Thom Hartmann's column today to learn more.

#BirdOfTheDay theme is #JKLM: bird species starting with these letters. I was visiting a "hidden" lake in a residential area when I spotted this little blue heron trying to figure out how to eat a baby turtle. #birds #ECK #photography #wildlifephotography #birdphotography

It's that time of year again. Must watch "Bell, Book, and Candle!" Jack Lemon is hilarious, Jimmy Stewart is Jimmy Stewart (and I love him), and Kim Novak is a beautiful witch. Let's not forget Pyewacket! #Halloween #GreatFilms #BellBook&Candle #Pyewacket

Halloween decorations are appearing everywhere. Saw this one yesterday. #halloween2026 #decorations #ECK #urbanphotography #skeletons #pirates

Today's #BirdOfTheDay #Alt is #UrbanBirds. This is about as urban as you get. These sparrows had no problem building a nest in that mess of wires. #birds #ECK #photography #naturephotography #wildlifephotography

Awesome 👏👇

#TurtleTuesday I took this pic through glass at the Twinsburg, OH, Nature Center. He was a cooperative model, showing me those lovely red eyes. This is an Eastern box turtle. No hiding for this one! It watched every move I made. #Turtles #BoxTurtle #Ohio #photography #ECK

#BirdOfTheDay #LookingDown This common gallinule was taking a bath in the water, and I caught it with its head bowed. #birds #ECK #birdphotography #naturephotography #photography

#MinimalMonday Today's #BirdOfTheDay #Alt theme is #Blue, any bird with Blue in its plumage. This tricolored heron was wading in the water in search of food. #birds #ECK #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #herons

Thread-waisted wasp digger perched over a drop of dew on a plant stalk. #MacroMonday #insects #ECK #photography #insectphotography #macrophotography

Today's #BirdOfTheDay #Alt theme is #Blue, any bird with Blue in its plumage. This little blue heron is all blue. 🙂 They are small but lively. #birds #ECK #photography #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #herons
