The characters all line up and have something to say as they're about to face the final boss.
How Garbo didn't realise it was the end, I don't know.
Saturday, February 8, 2014, Shaw Univesity, Raleigh North Carolina. Under cold grey skies a broad, diverse coalition of around 35,000* social justice activists mobilized by the Moral Monday Movement rallied in downtown Raleigh. After gathering at Shaw University and marching to the front of the North Carolina State Capitol they were addressed by a number of speakers including the fiery Reverend Dr. William J. Barber II. A range of related Issues raised by the demonstrators and speakers included voting suppression and civil rights, racism, the impoverishment and corporate hijacking of the education system, poverty and the minimum wage, labor rights, LGBT rights, reproductive rights, immigration reform, access to healthcare for all and environmental justice. This watershed day in the evolution of the US civil rights movement was largely ignored by the corporate media. Thumbs up to the Raleigh Police Department for their civilized and respectful presence at the event. There were no arrests. The Raleigh officers wore dignified uniforms with cloth hats, not the ostentatious and threatening gear we're used to seeing on the overarmed militarized police in our hometown of Washington DC.
*My crowd estimates are usually very conservative; other commentators claim 80,000-100,000.

Between errands this morning, I stopped to take a quick walk along a path near that usually has birds and squirrels hanging about and today was no exception.
There were a few different types of birds out, including a blue jay that was taunting me somewhere in the trees. He'd call out but not show himself. I searched for a while but couldn't find him, there were a few golden finches as well, but in the end, this little chickadee was most willing to pose for me.
Anyway, hope everyone has had a good day.

Ice Dreams....
Every once in while I like to pour through my photo archives looking for the one or two that got away, yesterday was one of those days; I was home alone and spent the better part of the day reminiscing and remembering some of the adventures Karen and I have been on. I pulled several images that on second sight caught my eye. I will post two today and perhaps when I have time post a few of the others. Each is wonderful in its own right and can stand on its own as a strong image. I love images that tell a visual story that really do not depend on a lot of explanation.
this image taken after a weather event in February of 2016. the ice hung heavy on the branches...making for a beautiful day to drive in a winter wonderland....

-[ H is for Hot Knife ]-
An inexpensive blunt, heated knife normally used to cut foam rubber. I used it to seal cable sleeve ends to prevent fraying. More refined versions based on soldering irons and using sharper blades are made for tasks requiring more precision.
February 17, 2023, at El Ensueño, QuindÃo, Colombia.
The Guamo flowers are getting a lot of action.
Here is a White-necked Jacobin (Florisuga mellivora), a large and attractive hummingbird that ranges from Mexico south to Peru, Bolivia, and south to Brazil. This bird gets its name from the white band on the male's neck. It may also be called Great Jacobin or Collared Hummingbird. These birds usually visit flowers of tall trees and air plants for nectar. They may also take insects. They are approximately 12 long.
The first US national monument to be established was Devils Tower in 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt, a little over 1300 acres that include the 867-foot butte in Crook County, Wyoming. Spielberg's movie (Close Encounters of the Third Kind) was largely filmed here, giving the geological wonder additional attention in the late 1970's, but it's been held sacred by several native American tribes for much of known history. Rock climbing is common here (permits are required by the National Park Service and no overnight camping is allowed upon the summit), including free climbing and traditional climbing techniques. The first recorded climb was by local ranchers Willard Ripley and William Rogers, July 4, 1893 and the remnants of wooden pegs/ladder they used in one of the crevices are still visible to this day, the upper reaches of which were restored in 1972 (listed in the National Register of Historic Places, along with the CCC-built entrance road and several of the NPS buildings at the monument). Hundreds climb various routes on the Tower successfully every year but it has claimed seven lives over its history, the latest of which was September 2024.
The surrounding forest and meadows are home to a variety of wildlife and birds, for I've been sufficiently fortunate to have seen many of the species that reside here, including white-tailed and mule deer, prairie dogs and a variety of other rodents such as squirrels and chipmunks, raccoons, mink, bald eagles and a wide variety of songbirds.
This is just another "cliche" image of the formation that I took last February (2-27-2025) while hiking around the Tower Trail that encircles the base, for it's been shot from every imaginable angle. It was quite peaceful, for the ice and snow that was still melting away kept the slick trail relatively quiet. Cliche or not, I still have a fascination with the Tower and it is easy to see why the Native American Indians that inhabited this region continue to hold it sacred to this day.
