“Assemblage (Bright Blessing)”, 22 December 2025
Cholla cactus, Joshua Tree National Park

Black and white photo of an approximately one meter tall, fuzzy cholla cactus backlit by a bright, overcast sky. I took this photo sitting down, to capture the “treeness” of the cholla. Desiccated wood and grasses appear in the foreground. Tamarisk and monzogranite rock formations appear in the background.

A friend was able to help his father get all the animals to higher ground and, if the water goes down soon enough, the home may be spared. But you can see that they lost equipment. This is a very small family farm east of Monroe and west of the Cascades.
Muddy Skykomish River water rises within a few yards of a brick-red house. The sky is misty white, and tire tracks on the grass disappear into the water.Close-up of farm equipment partially submerged near the Skykomish River.

I use a wearable to support having a chronic illness. The best thing I can do is have daily movement and workout twice a week. Not always possible, but ideal. So they say no more Covid shots. So i get Covid? I can’t workout/recover. I don’t go to the gym to avoid Covid, my condition gets worse.
