- That does put a spring in your step 😊 ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️
- It’s not just Speaker Johnson, it’s my Rep Buddy Carter and ever Republican Congressman and Senator. They are ALL derelict in fulfilling their oath of office and upholding the Constitution. Every. Last. One. Of. Them.
- Hey Georgia Folks — Republicans in Congress are planning to take away medical coverage for you and your family so they can give Elon Musk and other super-rich donors a big tax break. Just sayin’…

- For #WingWednesday An immature Tricolored #Heron in flight. This #bird was hunting in a tidal lagoon when a dog interrupted its fishing. It then flew a short distance and landed about 15 feet from me. It’s good to be lucky. Light and color were pretty poor, but the bird was gorgeous and close 😊
- Here’s something pretty for your Tuesday. Took this during an after-dinner walk yesterday. I really like the warm late-day sunlight pushing its way through a tangle of branches and leaves and lovely sky in the right half. Nothin’ fancy or awesome — just pretty #treescape #goldenhour #marsh

- Thank you for the kind feedback, Liv!
- Good morning friends, and happy Wednesday! How are you? 🙋 It’s about 6:30am here in E.S.T. and rainy. I’m making up some of our rich, aromatic, and delicious #BlueBrew here in the coffeehouse. Who’d like a cup? ☕️ In any case, please do stop by and say hello to everyone! Thanks! 👋
- Happy Wednesday Susan and all! I’d love a cup. Today’s going to be a day of summer travel planning. We got places to go and people to see, especially our new grandchild. Very exciting!

- Hi Anna — I’m piggybacking on this reply to thank you for your kind reposts. I appreciate you sharing my stuff. Hope your Tuesday is a good one!
- Epic Sunsets Mazatlan Mexico. Each night seems to bring a better sunset than the day before. From our home in Mexico. #sunset #mexico #mazatlan #photography #tf_photography #tf_photoscapes #tf_photoescapes
- Epic, indeed!!! Wow!!!
- They’re called “emoluments”, Senator Paul. I do appreciate that you at least seem uncomfortable with this level of corruption — unlike pretty much every other Republican in Congress.

- Hi Susan! I’d love a cup of the usual ☕️ Enjoying a little sun this morning in coastal Georgia. Hope your Tuesday is a good one!
- When Musk and #DOGE broke the FAA systems and laid off many many air traffic controllers, negative consequences follow #FAFO
- (NYT) - As few as three air traffic controllers were scheduled to work on Monday evening at the facility guiding planes to and from Newark Liberty International Airport, the Federal Aviation Administration said, far fewer than the target of 14 controllers .. #EWR www.nytimes.com/2025/05/12/b...

- Very cool detail, Christoph!
- Translation: Since Trump has moderated his insane tariff threats against the entire world, we think the economy will slow down, but will not go into recession FWIW — I think the experts aren’t baking in all the other insane stuff Trump is doing. I forecast negative GDP growth in Q2 #TrumpRecession

- This speaks to Pam’s effectiveness as a lobbyist. She has a bright future!
- A late offering for #BlueSkyMonday “Quick! Everybody in the air!” This caught me by surprise and I scrambled to get a shot — hence the “quality” Still, it was neat seeing hundreds of Black Skimmers and some of their friends ALL suddenly take flight from their sandbar for no apparent reason
- I don’t recall any issues like this at all in the Biden, Trump 45, or Obama administrations (that’s over 16 years!). Secretary Duffy would be better to criticize Musk and DOGE for their disruptive actions. Sorry, Secretary Duffy, your guys broke it. They own it.

- Cool. Beautiful creature. Nice photo! A little close to home for my liking, but I have very limited snake experience.
- I’m looking forward for the “serious journalists” to point out these obvious lies and to correct the record directly in the moment during a Trump press availability. He can have his hissy fit, but that’s his personal emotional control problem.
- Looking forward to the “serious journalist” follow-up — like, how about providing some evidence that this is even a teeny-weeny bit accurate. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

- For Sunday #Stunday, I offer a truly stunning sea creature — a Man ‘o War (also know as a Portuguese Man ‘o War). A sting from this jellyfish-like creature’s tentacles can paralyze fish and cause severe pain for humans See ALT for more on this amazing creature #beachlife #coastalgeorgia
- I admit this offering for today’s #BlueSkyArtShow theme #Lines is pretty “stretchy”, but really, isn’t everything a line if you place it within the right context? Here the marsh grasses provide thousands of soft green lines, while the Tricolored Heron’s elegant flight gives us lovely curved lines

- Very cool! How’d you get access to this splendid perspective?
- Here’s a second offering for today’s #BlueSkyArtShow I’ll call it Ephemeral Lines Yesterday, we had a few hours between thunderstorms so I went to the beach to get a little sun. Looking up, I was mesmerized by these high, thin wisps of clouds with just a little structure — #lines, if you will

- Nice shot! I just saw one very actively prowling in shallows and using its wings to do the “sun umbrella” technique to enhance its hunting. Very cool!
