I visited New Orleans for the first time ever and the culture there is amazing but of course my photos mostly reflect the curse of my obsession with public works and birds.
Photo of a small Zamboni like street sweeper washing the paved surface of a street in New Orlean’s French Quarter. Old buildings line the street.

In the background are some taller shrubs.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

This year for the first time in a decade, a bush in my front yard held a Mourning Dove nest instead of the usual Northern Cardinal one. This is one of two surviving members of the second brood from the nest. Adorable little guy was ready to explore.
Against a background of a wall of white painted bricks sits a fledgling Mourning Dove on a small branch of a Rhododendron shrub. Other branches and green leaves  surround it.

Took a week with my family up in a tiny house on a Finger Lake in New York. House was claustrophobic but the dock out back was a good escape. I couldn’t see anything but the dock before I took the picture.
A photo of a long wooden dock in a lake taken at night. The glow of a town across the lake provides enough light for the camera to show the muted blue colors of the water and sky divided by a dark outline of the far shore.

I’ve got complicated feelings about Hank and his AI problems. But I have this recent poster behind my computer. It’s been my goal this year.
A poster with a background of orange shapes of various size with the words “Stay Kind Stay Curious” in mostly black but some orange font at the top of the poster. A large line drawing of a humanoid and a small bird like line drawing are below the words.

Inflation is growing worse, and the president is fixated on all the wrong things - building a ballroom, making himself immune from audits, and waging a war he started without a plan to end it. Where is the Republican plan to make life more affordable in America?

I lost my old friend Jonas (the cat I got when I moved out of my parents) at the beginning of 2025. It took me a while to get over that. But say hello to Fizzy and Chadwick! Two absolute goofs that we’re slowly introducing to our remaining cat Pebble.
