Things that Senator Eric Schmitt always confuses: Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Atlanta Hawks. A John Deer Tractor vs. A Dear John Letter. Washington State vs. Washington DC. Gorrillas vs. Guerrillas. Duke University’s Blue Devils vs. Arizona State University’s Sun Devils.

Last night’s Harvest Moon over Seattle. The clouds made it feel even more dramatic as it rose above the Space Needle and the Cascades. Also called the Corn Moon, this is the full moon closest to the autumn equinox.

A Great Blue Heron standing on water lily roots in the rain. This bird had just had a huge fish for a meal; the fish looked like a Bowfin and was around 2 feet long. No photos of that action as the heron flew back into the bushes to eat (wanted to dine privately.)

🪶 Rob’s chosen #RedHeads as today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme; any bird with red on it’s head/beak Alternative is #Gull, any Gull will do A European Robin singing in the bright sunshine #birdphotography #ECK #birds #photography #birdsofbluesky #robin #ColorADay #BlueTue #naturephotography

A European Robin singing from the top of a bare tree in the bright sunshine. The bird is left of centre of the frame, facing the right of the camera so that its right side is visible.
The bird has a thin, short beak, which is open in song. It has an orange/red face and breast with brown on the back of the head, back and tail. The underparts are white. It is perched on a thin branch, which comes up from the bottom of the frame and tilts towards the camera to the left. It’s head is raised as it sings and it’s visible body is lit up by bright winter sunshine.
Approx. Five other thin, bare branches are visible behind the bird and to the left of the frame, mostly vertical with one travelling diagonally.
The background is a clear blue sky.

Unsurprisingly, 60 Minutes ratings are down. What people like Ellison don’t understand is that many of us wouldn’t watch CBS News, including 60 Minutes, if you paid us. Like Bezos, they don’t understand that consuming content is as much a statement of values as anything.
