This would be a good day to pick up this excellent book on the birth of the labor movement in the US.Big Annie was instrumental in pushing the labor movement forward with her tireless efforts in the copper country of upper MichiganThis is a fictional account of her story, but well worth a read.

Jacaranda tree in Central Mexico. The purple lawns and sidewalks everywhere are just magical. May you find some beauty and peace today. #mexico #nature

A purple jacaranda tree is losing its blossoms and the ground underneath is a beautiful lilac purple.

I’m not sure how I managed to live in Mexico for more than two years without knowing about bueñelos. Stay away if you’re trying to not to add addictive foods to your diet.

The path up from Mono Lake. This was taken in September, and that is rabbit brush in bloom. Very cool spot on the east side of the Sierras. Nature is the antidote to our current poisonous situation.

A path made of large boulders leading up to a small wooden bench, bright yellow rabbit, brush in bloom along the sides. The Sierra’s are in the background.

Whenever I walk past a jackfruit tree, I just giggle. They are so absurd! The fruit just pops out of the side of the tree in such a bizarre way. It is delicious though! #mexico #strangefruit

Huracán Priscilla pounding the west coast of Mexico today. She’s parked 300 miles out, but still packing a wallop. Terrifying and beautiful. Posting pics of nature because the US daily horror show has become too much for me.

The stark beauty of Death Valley National Park. 111 degrees- but it was a dry heat. Like an oven! #nature #nationalparks

Strange rock formations in front of a mountain range. The shapes appear to have been carved out by water flow long ago.

This little maple decided to go first-an early harbinger of what’s to come. Always such a bittersweet time of year to me.

Yep. That is the trail. My poor knees. But the waterfalls along the way were totally worth it! #hiking #michigansupperpeninsula #nature

Paddlers welcomed. Such a pleasant surprise to see a sign like this. Of course I pulled up and had a sit. It’s important to squeeze in all summer you can as fall comes barreling in.

This rope swing has seen a lot of action over the years. We could hear the ghosts of teenagers laughing as we passed by.

Black Slate Falls. As with most remote sights here, finding them is almost as much fun as figuring out how to get there! #michigansupperpeninsula #waterfalls #nature

Starting to get a little stir crazy with this asthmatic body and the horrible air quality. I just want to go outside. The kayaks are waiting patiently, me not so much. #kayaking #michigansupperpeninsula #airquality

If it weren’t for the brutal winters and non existent springs,you might think this was a tropical vacation destination. The ever changing moods of my Lake Superior. #michigansupperpeninsula #michigan #nature

Chachalaca. In addition to having a hilarious name, these birds have a really loud, annoying call. Occasionally they come out of the jungle and into the neighborhood just to make our mornings more interesting. #mexico #birds #nature

#bookreview #nonfiction #booksky 💡📚 A riveting tale of the most influential Russian spy of the Cold War. This is a well researched book that reads more like a James Bond script then a non-fictional telling of actual events. Sometimes the truth is better than fiction.

It’s hot enough here that even the iguanas are seeking shade. This guy or gal? hangs out in a beachside restaurant and begs shamelessly for table scraps. Hence the ample waistline. #mexico #iguanas

An iguana sitting on a retaining wall looking out over the ocean. I should say a pretty fat iguana because her or she is enormous.

The storms parking themselves off the West Coast of Mexico are making for some interesting colored sunsets lately. #mexico #sunsets #nature

Oh hi! Thanks for dropping by! Wishing everyone a happy #caturday. The Mexican chapter of Cats Against Fascism sends its love and support to all the No Kings protesters. We know what’s at stake, even though we’re south of the border. Stay safe amigos. #nokings #catsofbluesky

Oh, hi. We will just wait here to see if you’re going finish all of that fish taco. No rush. ( I actually sanitized this translation as grey guy was spouting some pretty spicy comments because he didn’t realize I speak Spanish. ) Happy #caturday Que tengan un buen sábado, amigos de Bluesky😻

This serene statue is entitled Lluvia-translates to rain in English. I know it’s ugly out there, but don’t forget to stop and appreciate those beautiful small moments that occur in every day. It just might be the one thing that keeps you sane. #mexico #sunsets #peace

Silhouette of a statue of a man enjoying the rainfall against the backdrop of a beautiful sunset. Very hard to describe adequately. The sunset is very pale, pastel yellow peach and blue. The ocean is slate gray..
