Back from two days in the Mojave Desert, where my (legally registered captive) desert tortoises, Bob & Eddie, had an "acting" gig for a nature documentary. Desert torts are Endangered in California and Threatened nationally, so handling wild ones isn't allowed – so enter Bob & Eddie, stage right. 🐢🎬
A photo at ground level behind a desert tortoise, walking across the desert floor not long after sunrise. In the distance are creosote bushes and a lone Joshua Tree. The sky is cloudless.A photo looking down at a desert tortoise named Bob, who is circling a Canon camera atop a beanbag on the desert floor. Bob looks a bit wary, because he generally prefers working with Nikon gear.A photo of sunrise in the Mojave Desert. The sun is barely peeking above the horizon, dead center in the lower third of the frame. The sky is cloudless, and the orange dawn light is backlighting a scraggly creosote bush in the foreground, highlighting its little fuzzy white seed pods.A phone pic of sunrise in the Mojave Desert, with a clear sky and the sun and surrounding orange glow just above the horizon, behind a stand of Joshua Trees and creosote bushes.

We're living through a time in which far too many sociopathic ghouls walk unashamedly among us, and yet, someone like Glen Hansard is taken away early. What a deeply unfair world.

Very probably the best photo I've ever taken of a 16th Century dovecote with a cow standing in front of it, surrounded by buttercups, looking like she has just dropped a debut album she is thoroughly proud of.
A cow, standing in front of the dovecote in Bruton, Somerset, about a month ago. Lovely town. Beautiful architecture. Had a chat with a really nice lady from an old farming family after I took this. Sadly quite a few stuck-up down-from-London snotbags live there these days and houses cost a fortune as a result.

A day after The Late Show ended, Colbert hosted an episode of public access program Only In Monroe, reviving his 11-year-old gag. How bad is CBS/Paramount taking it? They issued copyright complaints for a show they don't own. 🤣 CBS would hate it if you watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DlF...

@MatthewKeysLive
Paramount is apparently trying to suppress copies of "Only in Monroe" from appearing on other social platforms by filing frivolous copyright notices, even though the show was produced by a public access TV channel and doesn't use their intellectual property...
