アメリカ合衆国憲法修正第8条で、意図的な残虐行為を禁じているにも関わらず、なんですよ、このおぞましい輩たちは. 法務専門家や軍法スペシャリストは, 死刑執行の放送は屈辱,公開の恥辱という要素を加え,刑の執行を残虐かつ異常なものにすると表現していて,弁護士たちはこの方向で放送阻止に向けて戦うようです. 異常すぎてもう(一日も早く投票したい)

The stream hums low, leaves rustle, and the forest eases into its next season. May we protect places like this—unbuilt, unsold, and alive with their own pulse. Take care, friends 🤝💖 #PNW #nature #hiking #mobilephotography
A narrow forest stream winds through a dense, mossy woodland, framed by layers of deep green foliage. Dark, wet rocks break the surface of the clear water, creating small ripples and gentle movement as the stream flows from the background toward the foreground. The forest floor is carpeted with thick, bright green moss and low plants, giving the ground a soft, almost glowing texture. On both sides of the stream, tall trees rise with sturdy trunks and wide branches, many of them draped in moss. Their leaves range from rich summer green to hints of yellow, suggesting the very beginning of autumn. Sunlight filters softly through the canopy, creating dappled patches of light and shadow on the water, rocks, and moss. The overall mood is quiet and serene, as if this is a secluded, untouched part of the forest where the ecosystem feels balanced and alive.

"The flow of the river is ceaseless, and yet the water is never the same." Kamo no Chōmei, in Hōjōki, 1212 (during the early Kamakura period- the rising Samurai era). Here on the Dosewallips, autumn light bows to the passing water. Enjoy your weekend, everyone 🥰 #PNW #mobilephotography #river
A clear, shallow forest stream flows diagonally across the image from the lower left toward the upper right. The water is transparent, allowing the viewer to see smooth rocks and small pebbles scattered along the streambed. Several larger stones rise above the surface, some covered in soft, green moss that hints at long‑standing moisture and shade. The stream is bordered by uneven, rocky edges and patches of earth, creating a natural, unmanicured shoreline.

On both sides of the water, tall trees form a dense woodland. Their trunks are mostly straight and vertical, with branches extending outward and upward. The leaves range from bright green to warm yellow, suggesting early autumn when some foliage has begun to change color but the canopy is still largely full. Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled light and shadow across the forest floor and the surface of the stream. Reflections of the trees and sky shimmer faintly in the water, adding a subtle, mirrored layer to the scene.

Yes, I have, a long time ago. I sympathized with Genji's mother, the Kiritsubo Consort's tragic death at a young age. And then I recognized the recurring themes (envy, harassment) that plagued Genji's life... a sad story to me. I might get one from the public domain library for the rainy/snowy days.

This is my favorite big leaf maple, the proud queen of the woods. She still wears her fresh green, with a hint of yellow beginning to whisper. She’s lost her great limb on the south side, a wound that changed her shape but not her presence. Wishing everyone a lovely weekend!😍 #MobilePhotography
A towering, mature tree fills the frame, seen from directly below as if the viewer is standing at its base and looking up into the canopy. Thick, twisting branches radiate outward in all directions, covered in soft, velvety moss that clings to the bark and emphasizes the tree’s age and the dampness of the forest. The bark itself is deeply textured, with ridges and grooves that catch the light in places and disappear into shadow in others, giving the trunk and limbs a rugged, weathered appearance.

Above, a dense canopy of bright green and some tiny patches of yellow leaves overlaps and interweaves, forming an almost continuous ceiling of foliage. The light softens the scene and hint at a clear sky beyond. The left big branch is broken.

¡Viva México! This was from my trip to Mazatlán, a few years back. It was early morning: the girls were practicing their moves, helping one another with their dresses for the Desfile Cívico-Militar💃 As a traveler passing by, I wished them well — and I was welcomed with such warmth in return💖🤝
A small group of young women stands together on a street in the morning light, dressed in vibrant traditional Mexican folklórico attire: long, full length dress decorated with bright ribbons in colors like red, yellow, blue, and green, the fabric gathered in wide arcs that suggest movement. The women appear relaxed, chatting.
Behind them, palm trees line the street, and a few street signs are visible. The morning sky is warm and soft, casting gentle light across the scene. The group stands near a curb. The overall atmosphere feels calm, communal, and celebratory.

A natural doorway into the gentler season: autumn, just beyond the vine maple’s embrace. Take care, friends 🤝 #PNW #Photography #MobilePhotography #Hiking #Stunday
A mossy forest with mixed foliage. In the foreground, a small deciduous tree leans slightly to the left, its thin branches draped in soft, green moss. The leaves are mostly green but mottled with patches of warm orange and yellow, showing the early shift into autumn. Behind it rise tall, dark evergreen trees, their trunks straight and vertical, forming a dense backdrop that makes the smaller tree stand out. The lower branches are shaded, giving the scene a cool, damp feeling of a temperate rainforest. The sky through trees is light grey with some blue patches.

南アは当時、連合国側でナチと戦ったのですよ。その後、国策としてのアパルトヘイト(人種)隔離政策を実行してしまったという悪夢がありましたが。 あと、今回のドイツは実に嫌な選挙結果なんですが、「憲法裁判所が特定の勢力に掌握されるのを防ぐため、2年前に憲法を改正していた」という事実があるので、先見の明であった、となって欲しい…(悪夢のごとき日々に苦しむ日系米人です)。

Where the fjord still churns and the clouds still brood, the light fights back twice: a double rainbow. A double dose of hope insists on going brighter than the weather. 🌈🌦️ Wishing you well, wherever you are ✨🥰 #MobilePhotography #Rainbow
A wide lakeshore scene with a double rainbow after rain. In the foreground, small rounded pebbles and stones form a gently sloping beach, some dark and wet, others lighter and dry, where small waves lap softly against the shore. The lake stretches across the middle of the image, its surface rippled and slightly textured, reflecting muted tones of gray-blue from the overcast sky. On the left side, a low, forested hill rises from the water, covered in dense, dark green trees that create a natural boundary along the shoreline. Farther back, across the lake, faint landforms and distant hills appear in soft, hazy silhouettes, suggesting depth and distance. Above the water, the sky is mostly cloudy, with thick gray and white clouds that look recently rain-soaked. Cutting through the clouds are two distinct rainbows: the primary rainbow is bright and vivid, with clearly visible bands of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet arching from one side of the scene to the other; the secondary rainbow is fainter, slightly higher, and more diffuse, echoing the first in a softer, less saturated arc. The overall mood feels calm and contemplative, capturing the quiet moment after a storm when the light breaks through and the double rainbow hangs over the lake and hills.
