A pointy little mountain range with some snow and late afternoon winter sun and some nice snow patterns on the black sand in the foreground.

Finally rebooked on a flight to #Iceland very early tomorrow morning so shouldn't lose much time. What an unwelcome drama! Fingers crossed tomorrow is a little more successful.

Talking of drama, here's a photo from that ridiculous view again, from March 2019.

Cool! 😎

That doesn’t sound like good financial news.

Don’t be a Panican!

Thank you, Jaycee! Happy Friday and weekend!

Hope that Spring is on its messy way to Maine!

I love this recent shot for the #SteppingOut theme

A Snowy #Egret tip-toes just so as it methodically explores a high-tide pool on the edge of a large #saltmarsh

The egret’s gorgeous reflection provides nearly perfect symmetry

Trump’s β€œWarflation” Has Just Begun If he were trying to increase prices on purpose, would he be doing anything differently?

Get ready for some "warflation": higher prices for oil, gas, food (lots of fertilizer passes through Hormuz), goods made with petrochemicals (umbrellas, shampoo, toys, etc.), and pretty much anything that needs to be transported anywhere.

Isn’t it about time for Trump to remind his financially-focused supporters to not be β€œPANICANS”?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

Weird chart. What happened in 2025 in the US? Did political leadership change and then start systematically dismantling education, science, health care, and government, levying arbitrary tariffs, randomly attacking major US cities, and destroying the economy?

Just asking.

Nice shots, Nicole!

# 3 is wonderful. Beautiful capture and composition!

# 2 β€” I’m jealous. We have White Ibises galore in coastal Georgia, but I have zero shots of Glossies. I think I need to travel to a Glossy hotspot 😊😊😊

Photo of a Red-Winged Blackbird sitting on a very thin branch of a shrub. The branch is almost vertical and only ever so slightly bend to the right, beginning in the upper half. The bird looks directly at the camera and strikes a commanding pose. I’m sure, he was trying to impress the ladies.

Think, he saw me? 🀭

Pair job losses and rising inflation (and Trump’s discretionary war with Iran and surging gas prices) and it looks like we could be heading to #stagflation

Better get done with #TrumpsWar soon.

U.S. Lost 92,000 Jobs in February The U.S. lost 92,000 jobs in February, the Labor Department said Friday, missing expectations.

The US lost 92,000 jobs in February, the Labor Department said Fri, missing expectations. That was short of Jan’s gain of 126,000 jobs, and worse than the gain of 50,000 jobs that economists polled by WSJ had expected to see. The unemployment rate was 4.4%. The labor market slowed markedly last

Who could have foreseen this consequence of war against Iran?

Not enough! Gonzales should resign immediately. His sexual relationship with a subordinate while in office was completely inappropriate.

Like the #EpsteinFiles, the #GOP continues to #coverup their terrible abusive actions so they can hold on to power β€” no matter the cost

The stunning male Hooded Merganser in front and his beautiful mate behind always swim away from birders and often dive just before you get focus.
