On my walk: I wait all year for the Toad Lily to bloom. It’s worth the wait. It’s both ugly and yet ridiculously gorgeous

On my walk: Autumn in Washington isn’t Upstate New York - no forests of Sugar Maples w/ their mixed brilliant red, orange, & yellow leaves. The colors here are more subdued - lovely & comforting.

On my walk: Nature provided this amazing arrangement of Zinnias w/ Taro & Garden Cosmos greens. Could’ve been a florist!

Jim Zogby @jjz1600.bsky.social · 01/09/2025

On my walk: signs of the end of summer are everywhere - Porcelain-berries, Spider-flowers, Autumn Clematis, & Scarlet Rosemallow.

On my walk: the stump from a massive old oak tree that was cut down just a few months ago - giving birth to new life, in two forms: clover and fungus, each beautiful in its own way.

Jim Zogby @jjz1600.bsky.social · 02/08/2025

On my walk: Garden Cosmos & Yellow Cosmos. Lovely & delicate.

Jim Zogby @jjz1600.bsky.social · 20/07/2025

On my walk: it’s that time of year - hot & humid. And so springing up everywhere - monster mushrooms (8” across!)

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends. But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month. See you soon, NYC.

On my walk: neighbor’s plants & flowers are wild & wondrous. I love walking this stretch of sidewalk, you feel transported to another place.

Jim Zogby @jjz1600.bsky.social · 07/07/2025

On my walk: I’m in Utica. I love this because you get to roll back time a few weeks. Lilies that have faded in DC are just coming into their own up here. (There were all in one yard.)

Jim Zogby @jjz1600.bsky.social · 23/06/2025

On my walk: in the face of the horrors of genocide in Gaza & the dangers of expanded war in the ME, new Roses bloom daily. They keep me sane and inspire to keep up the struggle for peace and justice.

081

Jim Zogby @jjz1600.bsky.social · 22/06/2025

I walk & love paying attention to what I see on my way. There is beauty everywhere - you just need to notice.

Jim Zogby @jjz1600.bsky.social · 22/06/2025

On my walk: Lilies and Day Lilies #1.

Trump Bombs Nuclear Sites in Iran & then says “now is the time for peace.” Didn’t think he’d be dumb enough to do it. He was. Now this is our war. It won’t end soon & it won’t be pretty. As we found in Iraq, Libya, & Afghanistan - there are always consequences. “When will they ever learn?”

050

Jim Zogby @jjz1600.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

On my walk: more Roses. We’re nearing the end of their season, but new blossoms are coming out daily.

Jim Zogby @jjz1600.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

On my walk: Lace Cap Hydrangeas. A pretty remarkable blossom.

020

Jim Zogby @jjz1600.bsky.social · 09/06/2025

On my walk: is there anything lovelier than Lace Cap Hydrangeas?

030

Jim Zogby @jjz1600.bsky.social · 07/06/2025

On my walk: the name of the tree that produces these clusters of intricate blossoms is the Southern Catalpa. It’s also referred to as the Cigar Tree

031

Jim Zogby @jjz1600.bsky.social · 06/06/2025

On my walk: everything has bloomed so early this year. These are mid-summer beauties & it’s still just late spring. Whorled Tickweed (an unflattering name for these lovely delicate blossoms) & Lilies!

Jim Zogby @jjz1600.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

On my walk: these are called “Lawyer’s Wig Mushrooms.” Ugly as sin, but also strikingly complex & in their own way beautiful.

Jim Zogby @jjz1600.bsky.social · 28/05/2025

On my walk: Clematis in bloom.

“UK, France and Canada warn Israel over ‘intolerable’ Gaza suffering.” We know it’s intolerable, but what are you going to do to stop it? Sanctions? Boycott? Nothing will stop Israel’s criminal behavior except punishment & being ostracized. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

OMG, NYTimes! I don’t know whether to laugh, cry, or scream at this bizarre article on the ongoing genocide in Gaza. There’s no “Bitter war of attrition!” Israel’s daily killing scores of Palestinians, starving millions, & forcing them to move. How is this a “war of attrition?” It’s genocide

0130

Jim Zogby @jjz1600.bsky.social · 18/05/2025

On my walk: in Utica visiting family. It’s like getting another opportunity to experience Spring. Btw, they’ve had a lot of rain and so the lawns are full of Dandelions, Common Daisies, & Forget-Me-Nots. Some folks want to get rid of them. I think they’re beautiful.

Jim Zogby @jjz1600.bsky.social · 10/05/2025

On my walk: some unusual beauties: Columbine. Buckeye (horse chestnut), Rhododendron, & a stunning deep purple/white Iris.

Jim Zogby @jjz1600.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

Pope Francis cared for the Palestinians in Gaza. He called Gaza’s church nightly at 7:00 pm - just to check in & show concern. The crowd that would assemble just to hear him called it “pope time.” Even in death he cares. He left his “popemobile” to serve as a mobile clinic for Gaza’s kids.

Jim Zogby @jjz1600.bsky.social · 06/05/2025

On my walk #1: the Roses are out! Oh! The Roses.

020

Jim Zogby @jjz1600.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

In the past 6 weeks, every day an average of 50 Palestinians have been bombed to death by Israel, 400,000 have again been forced to evacuate & relocate, & the entire population is being starved & denied medical supplies. It’s accelerated genocide & US media & gov’t don’t give a damn.

074

Jim Zogby @jjz1600.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

When Catholic conservatives say the goal of next pope should be “unity,” they mean on their terms (& they’re saying Francis was a divider.) Nonsense. Francis did was Jesus would do. He reached out to the forgotten, excluded, & shunned. That should be the goal of the next pope too.

Jim Zogby @jjz1600.bsky.social · 26/04/2025

On my walk. Azaleas are out and streets are awash in vibrant colors.

Jim Zogby @jjz1600.bsky.social · 25/04/2025

On my walk: still more varieties of Tulips. This time of the year is wonderous. There’s new beauty every day, around every corner.

On my walk: glorious Peonies are out!

Jim Zogby @jjz1600.bsky.social · 24/04/2025

On my walk: my favorite saint (Francis of Assisi), in what I believe would be his favorite setting - surrounded by Azalea, Pachysandra, and Painted Fern.

051

Jim Zogby @jjz1600.bsky.social · 20/04/2025

On my walk: more varieties of stunning Tulips.

Jim Zogby @jjz1600.bsky.social · 17/04/2025

On my walk: Iris (these were Eileen’s favorite) & Witch Alder. I love this time of year because everyday there are new blossoms & new colors. There’s a surprise around every corner.

Jim Zogby @jjz1600.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

On my walk: Redbuds are my favorite flowering tree. The blossoms cling to their branches accentuating each tree’s structure. The first photo is a Redbud as the backdrop to a Japanese Maple.
