Purple mountain laurel blooming against a brick building
A single, lonely bluebonnet blooming in rocky terrain
It is 95°F (35°C) here in San Antonio today. Previous record high for today was 91°F. Mountain laurel bloom will likely be cut very short, and bluebonnets are emerging early.

Kevin the dog (12 yrs old, 65 lbs) is just a little scared of Bob the cat (1.5 yrs old, 8.5 lbs). Bob likes it this way.
A senseless blow to a system of international nature, culture and heritage cooperation that the US itself played a leading role in creating as Trump quits ICCROM IUCN IFACCA IPBES & UN Habitat. US already quit UNESCO. Non-federal US actors must fill the gap!

This documentary was a hot topic at the tail end of our holiday party last night and I think if it had come up earlier we all would have agreed to watch it together immediately!

CHN leaders in Brazil advocated tirelessly for culture-based climate solutions at #COP30. Moussa Elimane Sall took a moment to reflect on his experience with a call to action to leverage this momentum to insist "Climate action without culture is incomplete."

Interesting. @kuminaidoo.bsky.social posed a similar question last week at a pre #COP30 #climateheritage symposium in Rio.
Many in the room who had previously aligned more closely with A were now answering C, myself included.
Omg this is my current dream NYC trip I hope it is 😘 perfect for you!

This gave me a very good chuckle so thank you 😂
Agree! Also I asked ¿por qué no los dos? at this culture + climate seminar in Rio today and got a nice laugh, but it was in reference to the silliness of dichotomous categorization of climate action strategies as either adaptation or mitigation 🤓
In the midst of one of those travel stories where a missed connection means a 24 hour delay - enter a very patient and inventive airline agent et voila, I am in Brazil only a few hours later than my original flight! I was the last person to board the flight from DFW to Sao Paulo 🤪 On to Rio!
A fallen pecan tree branch with gray bark has two semi circle fungi that resemble eye balls. It rests on top of green leaves and leathery pecans and grass.
Traveling again tomorrow, so please prepare yourselves for photos from rainy Rio and stories about communities empowering the arts, culture, and heritage transforming climate ambitions into actions. Enjoy this pecan pareidolia in the meantime 🤪
