His Reading Russia clips are absolutely stunning. So much insight into the Russian mindset. Force feed it to Trump and his "special envoys".

Excellent reporting by Steve Rosenberg of the BBC from Moscow: Steve Rosenberg reads Russian newspapers to get the latest on the situation. Bottom line: no peace agreement—and the Russian economy could be on the brink of collapse - at least according to one Moscow newspaper. youtu.be/OYyBH-FbJzw?...

From this point in time forward I will refer to Donald Trump only as RAT (Russian Asset Trump). Glory to Ukraine, glory to the heroes.

The morning fog made a great filter to take a photo of our sun. #sun #photography #nature Panasonic DMC-FZ200; f/4,0; 1/800; ISO 100 (auto-mode)

As I have very dear friends there, I had the chance to go on a Sicilian bike vacation almost every year since 2006. So no exception this fall. #sicily #italy #vacation #syrakus #ortigia #bycicle #vacation

The sparrows waited until the red millet in my garden was ripe and ready to eat. Within two days, they had finished the harvest. #sparrow #birds #garden #gardenbird #nature

Finally😃

When the corn has been harvested and the morning sun casts a wafer-thin veil of mist that lends the scene a touch of mystery. #foto #nature #corn #harvest #mystery

The solar eclipse from my neck of the woods. #solareclipse #eclipse

A woodpecker feeding his chick, pic taken through a glas door. There have never been as many great spottet woodpeckers (Dendrocopos major?) in my garden as there have been this year. #birds #gardenbirds #woodpecker #photography #nature #garden

Have you seen the new video for the amazing song by Philip Page? Please do, the link is below! I think it should be played loud and proud around the world! youtu.be/yJrAZ1NeMXo Ps. Also on Spotify: open.spotify.com/track/3s8mRd...

This is a two-week-old hedgehog that my dog found on a gravel road when it was one week old. I kept it and raised it with the help and advice of a specialist. After it finished hibernating, I released my well-fed boy into the wild at eight months old. #hedgehog #rescue #animals #wild #nature

I can't help it, I really like this photo. #tree #trees #bush #branch #winter #photography #nature

The Zone is finally flooded.

The sun at noon through the fog without filter. Maybe the spots down left is dust on the lense, or I accidentially captured some sunspots. #sun #fog #fotography #cheese #nature #sunspots Lumix DMC FZ200, F/6,3, 1/1300, focal lenght 938mm, 1,8 x 58 Siocore photolens

Groundbreaking! Winter is coming! #winter #tree #root #pine #ghost #troll #gnome #giant #forest

Even in the darkest times, the sun rises every morning and illuminates the beauty of nature. It would be a great promise for our future if humanity were to follow this example. Shine a light! Happy Holidays! #forest #snow #sun #sunrise #allthatglisters #frost #winter

This is Lilly. I adopted her when she was 14 yo. She was born with ataxia and was never able to walk or stand. So I had to carry her around, 15 pounds of will and joy. She stayed with me for most rewarding 3 years. #dog #jack-russel #adoption #joy

Quite interesting for a broken tree. Smartphone image with some simple filters.

First frost of the season.

The final harvest of the year

Let there be colors.

It's that time of year when mushrooms are growing everywhere, and their transformation is sometimes astonishing. Just look at the amazing shaggy mane mushroom (coprinus comatus). Also a little creepy.

We The Dogs demand a treat!

Cormac Smith on Times Radio w Philip Ingram: 600m Europeans & allies need 340m Americans to fight 170m Russians who cannot defeat 40m Ukranians.

Storm clouds promising rain as they approach the harvested field. #harvest #rainstorm #weather #clouds
