A couple images from today’s No Kings rally in my area. Good turnout and a lot of support from drivers going by. Thumbs up from nearly everyone.

Did a day trip up to Victoria BC last weekend and the group wanted to do Butchart Gardens. My first time visiting "in season". Such a beautiful place. #Nikon #photography #landscape #VictoriaBC #ButchartGardens

My last shot from yesterday to share. One of the colorful pools near paint pots. Would’ve been nice if the wind hadn’t been blowing so hard and the surface was calm, but you take you get. #Photography #YellowstoneNationalPark #Geothermal #Nikon

A vivid photograph of a geothermal hot spring featuring a deep, crystal-clear turquoise pool at the center, surrounded by mineral terraces in shades of orange, rust, and white. The spring is set in a barren, sandy area with sparse grass and dead tree remains near the edges. In the background, a dense forest of tall green pine trees lines the horizon beneath a bright blue sky filled with scattered, fluffy white clouds. Captured with a Nikon Z9 at 17.5mm, f/6.3, 1/1000s, the image highlights the vibrant colors and natural beauty of the thermal landscape.

Here is a shot from Yellowstone National Park that I really liked. A friend suggested that I change it to black-and-white. It was only done in Photos on an iPad. I’ll try again with Lightroom. Thoughts? opinions? #Photography #Landscape #YellowstoneNP #Nikon #BlackAndWhite

A dramatic black-and-white photograph of a barren, desolate landscape filled with tall, dead trees stripped of their branches. The cracked, dry ground is scattered with fallen limbs and minimal vegetation, suggesting a harsh environment—possibly a geothermal area or the aftermath of a fire. Long shadows stretch across the ground, cast by the stark, skeletal tree trunks. In the distance, the land opens up toward a flat horizon under a sky filled with scattered clouds. Captured with a Nikon Z9 at 14mm, f/6.3, 1/6400s, the wide-angle view emphasizes the starkness and solitude of the scene.

A color photograph of a stark geothermal landscape with tall, dead trees standing in mineral-rich, cracked earth. The ground is bleached white and tan, with scattered vegetation and fallen branches. The trees, stripped of foliage and bark, appear ghostly against the vibrant blue sky filled with scattered clouds. In the distance, a dark tree line marks the boundary of the barren zone. The image conveys a sense of harsh beauty and environmental extremes. Captured with a Nikon Z9 at 14mm, f/6.3, 1/6400s.

I went out for a drive yesterday and ended up going through parts of Yellowstone National Park. Had a rental lens that I wanted to try out in that environment. #Photography #Landscapes #YellowstoneNP #Nikon

A wide-angle landscape photograph of a lush green valley with a winding river cutting through tall grasses and shrubs. The valley is flanked by forested hills, with one hillside partially cleared or recovering from disturbance. Puffy white clouds float across a vibrant blue sky, casting soft shadows on the landscape. The scene is peaceful and natural, captured using a Nikon Z9 with a 14mm lens at f/16 and 1/800 second exposure.

A tranquil landscape photo showing a calm reflective pond in the foreground, surrounded by lush green grass and a vast open meadow. The water mirrors the blue sky and scattered white clouds above. In the distance, a dense forest covers gently sloping hills, and a mountain rises on the left. A few ducks glide across the pond’s surface. A pine branch extends into the frame from the upper right. The image was taken with a Nikon Z9 at 16mm, f/16, 1/1250s, capturing fine detail and vibrant natural colors under bright daylight.

A serene landscape photo showing a still, narrow water channel reflecting the sky and nearby vegetation. The scene is framed by evergreen trees on both sides, creating a natural window that looks out onto a broad grassy meadow and forested mountain in the background. A lone, curved tree trunk leans over the water, adding visual interest. The sky is blue with scattered clouds, and the lighting is bright and clear. Captured with a Nikon Z9 at 22mm, f/16, 1/500s.

A telephoto image of a lone elk standing in the middle of a gently flowing river, surrounded by a peaceful natural setting. The elk is partially submerged, facing to the left, with its reflection visible in the water. The far riverbank is lined with tall grasses and purple wildflowers, with dense green trees rising behind. The scene is brightly lit by midday sun. Captured with a Nikon Z9 at 600mm, f/16, 1/160s, the photo emphasizes the calm, remote feel of the wilderness.

MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF

The actual camera is a Nikon Z9, but any DSLR or point and shoot that you can control should work. I’m being a bit lazy though and the camera is on a tripod and I’m sitting on the couch triggering it through my phone when a hummer shows up. 🤷‍♂️

A hummingbird hovers in midair, feeding from a red and white plastic nectar feeder. Its wings are spread wide, frozen in motion, and its beak is inserted into one of the feeder’s ports. The background is a smooth green gradient, suggesting a natural outdoor setting. Tiny droplets or particles are suspended in the air, and the photo is signed “2025 – Jordan Petram” in the bottom right corner.

I agree with you. When I was in junior high and we were learning about autism it was a video of a child sitting in the middle of a room, spinning a plate over and over and over. Now we know that autism can be ultra mild to that severe. And we can detect that at extremely early ages.

We prove our citizenship when we first sign up to vote. We should not have to do any more than that for any given election. That’s why Washington’s mail voting is ideal because they send you your ballot to your known address and you return it with your signature that is verified.

Looking into this some more. Apple is down $732.5 Billion since its peak in December. Amazon is down $507.7B since its peak in February Meta is down $400.1B since its peak in February. Three companies. $1.64 Trillion loss in market cap in the last 3 months. Even for the bros, that leaves a mark.

Not Billions... Trillions of dollars. Just in the last two days. Amazon alone is done almost $200B Apple is down nearly $400B Meta is down nearly $180B Three companies. Nearly $1 Trillion in market cap losses in two days. Buyer's remorse anyone?

I think it's time for victory Gardens again. This is going to be like World War II when there was rationing on food and people were encouraged to grow their own. A lot of city lots are gonna have their lawns torn up in order to be growing vegetables so the family can survive.

Either this guy has a ton of banners or that sign is pure white. He has the picture taken and then they Photoshop in the appropriate text. This is the second picture of the guy I’ve seen today with totally different signs. Not that that’s a bad thing, but it just kind of funny.

Your starter will also change over time. The type of yeast, the type of bacteria and the quantities will vary by how you feed it how you treat it, what your water is like what flour you use. So many variables that it’s not worth getting caught up in the fight.

To be a little more clear, I grew up in Bellevue a suburb of Seattle. Seattle had a fair number of blacks at the time, but they had been red lined into a single area called the central district. They started busing because segregation was so strong due to where blacks could buy homes.

I grew up in Seattle in the 60s and 70s. We were like 99% white at the time. I still remember hearing and reading about the race riots in the south and the fear that they could spread to Seattle. My high school had all of like 10 black kids. They either had to be athletes or musicians to fit in.

People here are speaking specifically to the Eric’s of the world. These people voted for a misogynistic felon because they refuse to vote for a woman. We know that liberals will fight for their ability to stay in the US. We also know that in the next election, they will continue to vote for Trump.
