I finally figured out this difference after talking to so many different people when the reign of Trump occurred and gauged their reactions. We've all been told there are major issues like abortion, immigration, health care, education...
But, I figured it out...the only real difference between a liberal and a conservative is that a conservative only reacts, votes, and advocates along certain lines when an issue directly effects them...so, the woman that votes for Trump even though her husband and father of her 4 kids is an illegal immigrant and then gets outraged when he's deported...or the many Americans who will get outraged when/if Trump completely defunds Obamacare and they are left with nothing...they don't think on the "we" basis. They think only about the "me."
But a liberal, a liberal cares when anything negatively impacts a member of our community. Because, we see the connection..it's not just about human rights we're talking about here, although plenty of liberals care about that. But, what I'm saying is that liberals understand their place in the world in a more holistic sense. We realize that if a member of the community, whether it is a Black man wrongfully killed by police or a an anti-Muslim ICE raid that leads to a harmful deportation and disruption of family lives, this negatively impacts the quality of life of everyone in the community and we cannot ignore it. A liberal realizes that all humans should be honored based on the identity they choose vs. the one they happen to be born with even if we ourselves are heterosexual because it makes for a more accepting world. A liberal realizes we need to invest in climate change solutions before we're actually under a rising sea level. A liberal realizes putting guns in the hands of people who are mentally ill so easily without any background checks is a detriment to the safety of all.
I realize liberals have gotten a bad name in some circles and media outlets...and, it's not hard to see why...we live in a self centered world where profit is a god and many conservatives all out for themselves are both unhappy and rich. They own so many more major media outlets and they control the message. But, let's be clear, money doesn't buy you happiness...being part of a community does bring happiness and increase your quality of life. And, if more people thought about the community aspect..more about the we and less about the I...the world would be a much better shared safe space for us to live in.
Just ask Denmark, the famous masters of hygge or happiness. They care more about the we. They make sure all people have some basic protections. And, though they seem fond of burning a bunch of candles around wooden furniture, they still have much fewer fatalities.

See "The great green wall" for reference. Same leaves, but with 3 exact months of difference, on July 17th these were completely green.
Many thanks to all who visit and view my efforts.
The differences between the two species can be seen. The dark ear coverts of the Lesser (previous shot) are always shown in guide books darker than in reality.
original idea is not mine, and I even don't know who's the author. I changed it a bit to make this picture.
Peace does not mean an absence of conflicts; differences will always be there. Peace means solving these differences through peaceful means; through dialogue, education, knowledge; and through humane ways.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Leaving me was a celebration to you, but not to me. Yeh, you left me behind & I'm living without you. But it doesn't assure that I'm happy. Actually, you didn't leave me alone, cigarette was the last gift from you. :)
[N.B. I'm smoking for the last 7 years! The perspective is not applicable for me!!!]
A close comparison shot of a black-headed gull (rear) and a Mediterranean gull in winter plumage. The bill of the latter is heavier and it's hood remnants extend closer to the back of the head. However, the most obvious difference is the wings, with obvious black tips for the black-headed gull.

''After a while you learn the subtle difference
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning
And company doesn’t mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts
And presents aren’t promises,
And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head up and your eyes open
With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child,
And you learn to build all your roads on today
Because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans
And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After a while you learn…
That even sunshine burns if you get too much.
So you plant your garden and decorate your own soul,
Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure…
That you really are strong
And you really do have worth…
And you learn and learn…
With every good-bye you learn.”
― Jorge Luis Borges
It was around this time that we realized we were going in the wrong direction. I suppose it didn't really make a difference, but it was amusing.
What a difference getting a few shots in the sunshine makes.
The 2 birds on the left seemed to be bowing to their leader unless it;s a mating thing. They were very loud

This highlights the differences between the two "full size" buses that Metrobus have for the two Shortlands routes.
In America, these are called "Queen Anne's Lace" and are often sold in flower shops. In Spain, where I grew up, we call them weeds. I never noticed how beautiful they were until I came to live in the United States.
Beauty is in the geography of the beholder?
There are only 3-colors, 10-digits, and 7-notes in my life now but not too long ago those numbers were each in trillions.
Funny how one person can make all that difference.
There was a time, there was always a time. A time when she was nothing more than a figure in the crosshairs of some scope, years had passed with this being the case. Something had changed, a point of no return... he wasn't just a thick headed marine anymore following orders, he was here by his own free will.
is a bird species native to the Iberian Peninsula, primarily found in Spain and Portugal. It is closely related to the European Green Woodpecker (Picus viridis), but it is recognized as a distinct species based on differences in vocalisations, plumage, and genetic makeup.
Found in a variety of wooded environments, including oak and pine forests, olive groves, and open countryside with scattered trees. Prefers lower elevations but can also be found in mountainous regions.
Feeds primarily on ants, which it extracts from the ground using its long, sticky tongue. It also consumes other insects and occasionally fruits.

A Volvo PV544 in Langen. According to Wikipedia, "In 1958, the PV544 was phased in. Subtle differences with the PV444 included the introduction of a curved one-piece windshield to replace the two panes of flat glass, larger taillights, and a ribbon-type speedometer. "

Thank you everyone for your visits, faves and comments, they are always appreciated :)
I am in the small town of Dubois, WY tonight. It is 80 miles from Yellowstone National Park, which is where we are heading in the morning.
This is what I see behind the motel we are in.
Had a look back at this day in LR. I didn't know about adobe color vs camera standard color and I've been going back to a few days to check the difference
