Good morning, my Bleeps. Dream of a perfect world in which the refreshing sea breeze does NOT blow the pages of your book shut and cause you to lose your place. 😄

Colored drawing of an open window with a view of the sea. Sheer curtains billow in a sea breeze. There is a table under the window with an open book, a vase of roses, a closed book, and a shaded table lamp.

Happy 479th Birthday to Miguel Cervantes who was born #onthisday in 1547 🎂 In his most famous work Don Quixote, the title character charges at windmills, mistaking them for monstrous giants with swords, so in tribute we're all going up Burgar Hill in #Orkney to tilt at the wind turbines. 🎉

Trump officially rolled back fuel efficiency standards today. The new target for 2031 is about 34.5 miles per gallon, down from 50.4. That means more gas burned, more pollution, and more money out of drivers’ pockets. So much for making things affordable.

@helenbennett.bsky.social Well, I posted too hastily. I already posted this morning, but today's #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #AwkwardAvian - any bird captured in a silly, clumsy or strange position, and I just now captured this blue jay doing a really odd and awkward wing dance.

Blue jay facing away from the camera, tail extended to the right (giving a lovely view of its bottom), wings cocked in an asymmetrical pattern, top of head and eye just visible above the bird's right shoulder.

Good morning, my Bleeps. It's gonna be a bright, bright, bright sunshiny day.

Golden dawn rising behind a dark row of trees and a power pole to the right. There are some high, wispy clouds in the sky. There is a band of water on the horizon.

We have enough food, technology, and money to save the planet. We just have a system where destroying it is more profitable. That's not a climate problem. That's a greed problem. #ClimateJustice

Pay attention Dems. Gov Beshear won twice, in a deep red state, and never threw trans people under the bus. He led with compassion rather than the fear and cowardice we've seen from some of our Ohio candidates and party leadership.

This is the 1st day in ages that it's been possible to sit outside without sweating or being pestered by bugs. The new neighbors have finally finished building their McMansion, so it's quiet. Mockingbirds are singing their full repertoires. There's shade, rabbits, squirrels. I want to stay and stay.

Went to eat an apple fritter for breakfast from a well-known bargain grocery chain (that shall remain nameless). There was a piece of CHICKEN BONE with a fragment of flesh on it baked INTO the fritter. I'm not squeamish, but, but, but ... 😳🤮 I did my morning shopping elsewhere.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Pairs, photos with pairs of the same species in them. American white ibis commonly appear in family groups of six or so. The Alt theme is #Green, photos with Green in the backgrounds not on the birds. A blue jay enjoys a drink from a bird bath at the edge of a wood.

... apparently paleness was positive only if it was Indian paleness. How was it that looking white both was and wasn't desirable at the same time? How could something be in two simultaneous states of being? It was the Schrödinger s cat of beauty standards.

I have a bone to pick with the designers of the speech-to-text function on iPhone. It pretty consistently mixes up it's and its, and uses the wrong one in most situations. Holy apostrophes! Can't they hire someone who knows a little bit of English grammar to help with this issue?

Here's some more squishy-lawn fungi for you. These ranged from the size of a quarter (or a 50-cent euro) down to about the size of my pinkie nail.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Borbs, birds looking plump. It's hard to beat a mourning dove at borbiness, but even an American white ibis has borb aspirations . The Alt theme is #Brown, birds with Brown in their plumage. A female indigo bunting, despite the name, is mostly brown.

American white ibis contorted into a somewhat borby shape.

Let’s celebrate #TheDivers for #BirdOfTheDay today. Any diving bird. Here's a brown pelican, post-dive (as close as I could get to the theme). Alt theme: #BirdStare Any bird captured staring right back at you. Here's an osprey, still ruffled from a recent dive.

It's been raining for days. Good conditions for mushrooms to sprout. These are tiny Parasola, pleated inkcap mushrooms, with caps about the size of a dime, on slim delicate, stipes.
