Watercolour drawing in a splendid Victorian garden in Cambridge 2013. One of the two resident poodles has joined Rosemary, another artist, on the wrought iron garden seat encircling a tree. The sun shone all day.
What a lovely garden this was to sit in and sketch! (maybe I overdid the twiddly bits). There were two friendly white poodles wandering around and if you zoom in you'll see one of them sitting on the circular seat along with another sketcher.

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported.
He finally died.
I am so angry.

I’m not going to tell you bunnies get pissed. I’ll show you
Happy Friday! I apologize for my radio silence – I am underwater on 100 projects. We had no sunrise, but the rain took enough of a break for me to get to the ocean and do this uber-slow zoom into the waves. Tap and turn horizontal for full size. I hope you are having a great day!
Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison suspended two officers for coordinating with Border Patrol in violation of department policy. He said he “intends to terminate them."
Our public records request showed two more instances of officers calling immigration agents, with @kobylevin.bsky.social:
A moody, mist-shrouded valley where a thin waterfall threads down a massive grey rock face. In the foreground, dark, lichen-covered boulders are tucked into a mess of green shrubs and wildflowers. A cluster of evergreens climbs the center slope, their tops disappearing into a heavy, low-hanging fog.
While not the primary focus in this shot, there are a few waterfalls cascading down the mountain in the background for #WaterfallWednesday.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

A large mountain in the Columbia Icefield region in Jasper National Park in Alberta. Evergreen trees, green grass, and a roadway can be seen below the mountain. The sky is clear and bright blue.

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.
Happy Tuesday! We are going above freezing today for the first time in 17 days! We had no traditional sunrise this morning but we had some interesting drama in the clouds and a hint of color on the horizon. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

The gents' outfitters on the left is no longer in Trinity Street. The grey shop frontage in the middle distance is Heffers, a wonderful bookshop: long may it survive. I think this one is sold.
An old watercolour sketch of Cambridge Trinity Street. I must admit that populating the streets with people in their may ball finery did well for sales at a time when I really needed the money!

"'Eight to ten churches asked for clergy to come and provide support to create a protective band so people could come to church, because dark-skinned people are afraid to come to church.'"
It's not Don Lemon they were afraid of. lnk.thebulwark.com/4kdV3kS
