Memories of Salt Wine Bar in Toronto, on the last night of this summer's visit to North America - with a thunderstorm outside and great music, food and craft beer inside (I am sure the wine would have been as good).

Captured in April 2019 as a counter-protest started to gather in George Square in response to an anti-abortion rally that was taking place.
Women's rights have been trampled on once again. Freedoms removed, not by an ultra-religious group such as the Taliban but by an ultra-religious group of Christian Supreme Court Judges in America. Different religions, different Gods perhaps, but the same demands of dominance over women. A dystopia, not unlike The Handmaid's Tale, where women are treated no differently than livestock. Where guns have more rights than women!
Don't think for a minute that the extreme right-wing appointments by Former President Trump will stop at abortion. There are already rumblings that they are coming after right to contraception and same-sex marriage.
Don't think for a minute that this only applies to the USA. Some Conservative politicians here have congratulated the result on Twitter and our own rights are about to be stripped away under the so-called 'Bill of Rights' that will be passing through parliament soon.
Freedoms are under attack by far right governments around the world. If we don't stand up for our rights and freedoms, in support of each other, then we all lose in the end!
Remember: First they came...
If we don't speak out they will come, ultimately, for you.
*I can't believe I have to say any of this in 2022. We cannot take any of our freedoms for granted.

Planted some verbena in April and they've shot up, as tall as me, mind you that's not saying much... the butterflies love them! Pretty sure this is a large white enjoying a drink.

"Get Down on It" Week Continues! A 7-day celebration of looking down our noses at our subjects, much like King Henry VIII did.
Painting: Chicago was thunderstorming all day yesterday, so I spent the morning in the corner of my studio where I go to paint, but mostly I watched the rain pelt the windows. Ahhhhhhh. Well, you know what happened next: a click of the shutter...then a nap. :)
My talented friend Kim also shot paint brushes yesterday, because great creative minds think alike. :)
