A peaceful Autumn day #PhotoArt

An art photo in a monochrome sepia. To the left, a field with thick vegitation. There is a mown grassy area in front leading down to a stretch of water. On the right there is a tree. There is land on the far side of the water and vegitation at the waters edges. There are fluffy white clouds in the sky above, and low hills in the far distance.

BREAKING: Trump administration cut down more than 500 trees on Saturday at the East Potomac Golf Course after giving less than a full-day notice, with more tree-cutting planned, so plaintiffs challenging the effort went to court seeking a TRO tonight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

EMERGENCY MOTION FOR A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER OR, ALTERNATIVELY, FOR A 14-DAY STAY UNDER SECTION 705 OF THE
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE ACT
Plaintiffs hereby move the Court to enter a 14-day temporary restraining order under Rule
65(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or, alternatively, for a 14-day stay under 5 U.S.C.
§ 705.
Despite the Court's admonitions not to "get to a point where someone is telling me, from
the government, that it's too late, too many things have happened and now we are, like, moving
Case 1:26-cv-00477-ACR
Document 76
Filed 10/11/26
Page 2 of 4
forward and we can't, you know, stop the trains," Status Conf. Tr. ("Apr. 13 Tr.") at 18:15-19:10,
Apr. 13, 2026, Defendants have begun irreversible damage to East Potomac Golf Course. At
4:55 p.m. on Friday preceding the holiday weekend, Defendants announced their intent to
begin-barely 12 hours later—a massive operation to clear 529 trees at East Potomac Golf
Course. Decl. of Dr. Kevin Griess, Superintendent of National Mall and Memorial Parks,
National Park Service 920, ECF 74-1. Although they initially represented that their work would proceed in stages, Defendants in fact took down 529 trees on Saturday alone and have confirmed
to Plaintiffs that they intend to take down hundreds more.
Defendants' surprise tree-razing operation constitutes classic National Environmental
Policy Act segmentation: undertaking elements of a larger project piecemeal and insisting that they are independent and therefore need not be evaluated in a single NEPA review of the entire
project. Defendants cannot circumvent their NEPA obligations in this manner. Delaware
Riverkeeper Network v. F.E.R.C., 753 F.3d 1304, 1313 (D.C. Cir. 2014).

Therefore, and for the reasons explained in the Memorandum accompanying this Motion
and supporting exhibits, the Court should enter a 14-day temporary restraining order under Rule
65(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or, alternatively, a 14-day stay under 5 U.S.C.
§ 705, enjoining Defendants from any further tree felling at East Potomac Park. In addition, the
Court should order Defendants to provide the Court and Plaintiffs no less than three business days' written advance notice before any irreparable modification to any permanent forms or
features of East Potomac Park.
If the Court believes a hearing would be appropriate, Plaintiffs request a hearing on this
motion at the Court's first availability. At the parties' meet and confer on Sunday afternoon, Defendants represented that the tree-clearing operation would continue this week until
completed. Defendants indicated during the meet and confer that rain foreclosed any work on
3
Case 1:26-CV-00477-ACR Document 76 Filed 10/11/26 Page 4 of 4
Sunday, and that the possibility of doing work on Monday depended on weather and the course's
condition. Depending on Defendants' plans, then, it is possible that no work will occur on
Monday.

Last week I had drove 4 hrs, shot 2723 shots over 7 hours with 2 cameras, hardly slept, then drove back to LA, had a dentist and doctor's appointment Worth it This is the Perseids Meteor Shower over the Milky Way in Mt Pinos with 100s of my newest friends 🌌 PDFs: drive.google.com/drive/u/0/fo...

A foreground of dozens of cars, including a camper right in the middle, and someone on the right side with their parking lights on, in front of a mountain and trees. above that is the milky way with air pollution which fades into a larger star field, that looks like old pictures of space. That star field was taken with a nikon lens from the 70s so it gives a different sense, and the milky way was taken with a new 20mm lens, 14 shots, merged. the retro sky is 2 shots. there are 14 meteors that mostly focus on the center of the picture, but these aren't where they were in the sky. I shot 8 to 10 different areas of the sky that night. All meteors but one were with my new camera and new lens.

The Milky Way has a flare on the stars due to moisture on my camera lens, which I kept given the chaos of the situation. It took me 50 minutes to capture 14 usable milky way pictures because so many people had car lights on. 60 second exposures on the milky way, tracked in move shoot move, 10-15 seconds on the meteors.

This took about 8 hours to edit.

Milky way light pollution processed in GraXpert, foreground stitched in lightroom, milky way stitched in Kolor Autopano Giga, saturated and recolored in lightroom; everything finalized in photoshop, including the meteors. In total 19 layers and about 33 final shots used of the original 2723.

here is my hummus recipe since it is perfect (certainly better than Yotam's which it's adapted from)

Hummus

10 Oct 2026 Sam
Adapted from Ottolenghi to be smaller and less of a pain to make. This recipe starts with enough chickpeas for 2 batches of hummus and only uses half of them (freeze the other half so that you can go right to step 3 next time).

250g dry chickpeas
1 tsp baking soda
2-3 litres water
150g light tahini paste
3 Tbsp lemon juice
2-3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 tsp table salt
50g ice

1. Prep the chickpeas
Soak 250g dry chickpeas in cold water overnight or up to 24 hours. Discard any floaters.

2. Cook the chickpeas
Drain the chickpeas and put them in a large pot with a teaspoon of baking soda on high heat. Stir for three minutes, then add 2-3 litres of water and bring to a boil. Simmer for ~30 min, skimming with a spider regularly to first remove scum and then skins as they blanch off. The chickpeas are done when they fall apart between two fingers. Drain the chickpeas and you should be left with 575-600g of wet chickpeas.

Put half in a small cuisinart (if using) and freeze the other half for a future batch of hummus. You can also do everything in a pot with a stick blender, or a double or triple batch in a Vitamix if you want it perfectly smooth.

3. Make the hummus
Process 275-300g of chickpeas, still warm, until they form a thick paste (if using from frozen, thaw and warm in microwave before starting). Add everything else and process for 4-5 minutes until it's ultra-smooth. If it's a bit thick you can lighten with lemon juice, water, olive oil, or all three. Transfer to a dish, cover surface with cling film so that it doesn't form an unpleasant skin as it cools, and refrigerate. Serve at room temp.
