"We are never really happy until we try to brighten the lives of others."
~ Helen Keller
Good morning my friends! The past may have darkness, and the future, doubt. However, right now, in this moment, there is joy. Tap in to it, savor it, share it with those around you, and have a beautiful day! ❤️
Happy World Wildlife Day! This year, we are honoring and exploring the incredible world of native plants (nanise’) on Black Mesa (Dził Yíjin). Here at Tó Nizhóní Ání, we would like to reintroduce you to the Black Mesa Plant Project. Learn more: tonizhoniani.org/black-mesa-plants 🌱 #BlackMesaPlants
Tom Torlino (Tohatchi graduate of Carlisle) was the first Dine scholar to serve in this type of ‘poster face’ role-modeling, around 1875 or so. His early camera portraits are still easily found online. His complicated story is worthy of an ambitious author’s deep dive.
It’s interesting how hard core conservative female military veterans have taken to the AZT, including Sen Wendy Rogers and Martha McSally. Probably a story or two there.
This is inspiring and models a level of public debate rarely seen. Thanks for sharing!

Walking where they need to be is a luxury too few enjoy.
Winter is the certainly the best time to see rock art, the glare in summer conceals finer details. We’ve heard the big-pawed figure depicts a mountain lion. Thanks for sharing.
Chalky sediment and earthy ochres define this colossal vista. Moran's aggressive brushwork carves sharp ecological strata, contrasting with atmospheric washes that blur distant peaks into a sublime haze. This dramatic chiaroscuro generates an overwhelming awe for nature's raw power. Moran's radical choice was to render the geologic sublime as a spiritual revelation. Moran was a key figure in the Hudson River School and the Rocky Mountain School of landscape painting. "Miracle of Nature" was created during a period of heightened interest in the American West, fueled by exploration, railroad expansion, and the desire to document and celebrate the nation's natural resources. It exemplifies the Luminist style, focusing on light and atmospheric effects. The painting contributed to the growing national park movement, influencing public opinion and ultimately leading to the establishment of Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Canyon as protected areas.

Rug of the Day
Navaho blanket, found in a cave in the Canyon de Chelly, Arizona, along with the mummified skeletons of local people massacred in 1805 in a punitive raid by Spanish invaders. This may be the oldest extant native weaving in America.
ParkFlag now links its long promised parking garage to partnering with this rubble of classroom debris called ‘affordable housing’. We love election years! It’s the only time residents can weigh in on leadership.
#Bee well!
That’s the spirit!

Bosque Redondo Memorial near Fort Sumner NM has a hallway of murals painted by Navajo artist (& IAIA alum) Shonto Begay. One side depicts Navajo (or Diné) being forced south, the other the U.S. Military forcing them south. Walk thru & guns become pointed at you & you can't help having strong feels.
Nice fallback dayhike, with good photo sets

Lovely spell!
We have long believed you are a good witch with many forested fairy friends, elves and assorted magical beings protecting those who are kind hearted from harm

So true, these posts remind us of being completely surrounded by nothing but Rothko’s more somber works in a fairly small room, at the Rothko Chapel, St Thomas College, Houston, not sure if anything is still there, after 50 years. Thanks for posting!
At a time where it feels like we're losing, we need to remember our victories that not only have happened in the past, but continue to exist today.
Thus I give you, California Condor 926 of the SoCal flock.

We as humanity can still do good things.
