I go to type in this box, but I really don't know what to put. I'm changing and growing faster than and in new ways but I'm also falling back, like everything I do is two steps forward, three steps back.
Mostly I guess I'm trying and putting more effort into community and connections than I have before, and its making me really happy.
A Brown Creeper arrives at the cavity that accesses its very well hidden nest ( they build their nests behind the raised bark of a tree). It hesitates but then enters the cavity to feed its young. A master of camouflage in every sense....
Lackland AFB (TX), 28 January 1987.
54-0668 flew half its career in the US Coast Guard and was retired to AMARC in 1971. It is still preserved on this training base.
Lackland AFB is part of the Air Education and Training Command (AETC) and has an impressive collection of vintage aircraft.
Its only a container barge but the vehicles strapped on the top level was eye catching. Seen at the Port of Ketchikan.

Greater Manchester Police work constantly in conjunction with partner agencies and service providers to reduce crime and antisocial behaviour. To illustrate the range of partnership work undertaken we are uploading this image taken at launch of Operation Hydrofoil in 2008.
Violent crime had been steadily dropping over the previous five years and police were keen to continue the trend.
This clampdown was organised in response to an expected seasonal increase in the summer months and saw a range of intelligence-led police and partner activity across the whole of the county.
Known violent criminals breaching bail or curfew conditions or failing to pay fines were targeted in their homes by police and warrant enforcement officers.
Police and trading standards officers visited shops across the force area to check for the illegal sale of knives to those under-age. They also targeted licensed premises thought to be selling alcohol to under-age drinkers.
Extensive automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) operations sited on roads in the vicinity of violence hotspots checked for drink-drivers and those driving under the influence of drugs. People driving vehicles without tax, insurance or MOT certificates or while disqualified and offenders wanted for questioning were also be picked up by the sophisticated road-side system.
Specialist police units that include mounted officers, dog handlers and officers from the tactical aid and firearms units supplemented local officers policing town centre hotspots throughout the evenings and nights providing a high visibility presence and public reassurance.
Police officers also joined ticket inspectors on First and Stagecoach bus services that serve the city centre and other trouble hotspots to tackle fare dodgers and anti social behaviour.
Fire and rescue officers visited firework retailers to check that they were not stocking illegal fireworks, are storing fireworks safely.
This is just a flavour of the type of work undertaken by the Force and partners to reduce crime and antisocial behaviour and keep the public safe.
Recoded crime in the region continues to fall and has reduced by almost 50 percent over the last ten years.
For more information about Policing in Greater Manchester please visit our website.
To report crime call police on 101 the new national non-emergency number.
You can also call anonymously with information about crime to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity who will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.
A huge thank you to the Mountains Recreation and Conservation authority and all the mutual aid providers who risked their lives to protect life and property during the Springs Fire. Your bravery and hard work is appreciated.
The Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA) is a local government public entity established in 1985 pursuant to the Joint Powers Act. The MRCA is a local partnership between the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, which is a state agency established by the Legislature, and the Conejo Recreation and Park District and the Rancho Simi Recreation and Park District both of which are local park agencies established by the vote of the people in those communities.
The MRCA is dedicated to the preservation and management of local open space and parkland, watershed lands, trails, and wildlife habitat. The MRCA manages and provides ranger services for almost 69,000 acres of public lands and parks that it owns and that are owned by the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy or other agencies and provides comprehensive education and interpretation programs for the public.The MRCA works in cooperation with the Conservancy and other local government partners to acquire parkland, participate in vital planning processes, and complete major park improvement projects.

"Nottingham is a city and unitary authority area in Nottinghamshire, England. Part of the East Midlands region, it is 128 miles (206 km) north of London and 45 miles (72 km) northeast of Birmingham. To the west lies Derby, separated by the M1 motorway.
Nottingham has links to the legend of Robin Hood and to the lace-making, bicycle (notably Raleigh bikes) and tobacco industries. It was granted its city charter in 1897, as part of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee celebrations. Nottingham is a tourist destination; in 2018, the city received the second highest amount of overnight visitors in the Midlands and the highest amount in the East Midlands.
In 2017, Nottingham had an estimated population of 329,200. The population of the city proper, compared to its regional counterparts, has been attributed to its historical and tightly-drawn city boundaries. The wider conurbation, which includes many of the city's suburbs, has a population of 768,638. It is the largest urban area in the East Midlands and the second-largest in the Midlands. Its Functional Urban Area, also the largest in the East Midlands, has a population of 919,484. The population of the Nottingham/Derby metropolitan area is estimated to be 1,610,000.
Its metropolitan economy is the seventh largest in the United Kingdom with a GDP of $50.9bn (2014). The city was the first in the East Midlands to be ranked as a sufficiency-level world city by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network.
Nottingham's public transport system won awards prior to 2015, including the largest publicly owned bus network in England, and is also served by Nottingham railway station and the modern Nottingham Express Transit tram system.
It is also a major sporting centre and, in October 2015, was named 'Home of English Sport'. The National Ice Centre, Holme Pierrepont National Watersports Centre and Trent Bridge international cricket ground are all based in or around the city, which is also the home of two professional football teams; the former world's oldest professional league club Notts County and Nottingham Forest, famously two-time winners of the UEFA European Cup under Brian Clough and Peter Taylor in 1979 and 1980. The city also has professional rugby, ice hockey and cricket teams, and the Aegon Nottingham Open, an international tennis tournament on the ATP and WTA tours. This accolade came just over a year after Nottingham was named as the UK's first City of Football.
On 11 December 2015, Nottingham was named a "City of Literature" by UNESCO, joining Dublin, Edinburgh, Melbourne and Prague as one of only a handful in the world. The title reflects Nottingham's literary heritage, with Lord Byron, D. H. Lawrence and Alan Sillitoe having links to the city, as well as a contemporary literary community, a publishing industry and a poetry scene.
The city is served by three universities: Nottingham Trent University, the University of Nottingham and the University of Law; hosting the highest concentration of higher education providers in the East Midlands." -info from Wikipedia.

A jury has found Kyle Rittenhouse for shooting three people, killing two of them, in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on the night of August 25, 2020. They found him innocent of all six counts. Rittenhouse, then 17 and a minor, said he was in Kenosha to offer his services as a medic during riots and protests after the shooting of Jacob Blake by Kenosha police. He brought with him a Smith & Wesson M&P 15 rifle (an AR-15 semi-automatic). A friend bought his gun because Rittenhouse was a minor.
Others have rehashed the innocent verdicts on all six counts. However, only one seems to be beyond reasonable doubt, Count 6: Possession of a dangerous weapon by a person under 18. Kyle Rittenhouse was underage, carrying a semi-automatic rifle on the streets of Kenosha during the evening of August 25. While Wisconsin is an “open-carry” state where it is legal for adults to carry firearms openly, state law prohibits minors from doing so. He should have been found guilty on that count. A minor should never have been carrying that gun. So why wasn’t he found guilty of this charge? According to Wisconsin law, it’s only illegal for minors to carry short-barreled rifles and shotguns less than sixteen inches long. Judge Bruce Schroeder dismissed this misdemeanor because Rittenhouse’s Smith & Wesson was longer than sixteen inches, and the jury never had a chance to consider the charge.
No matter the verdict, his actions have a chilling effect on those of all colors who want our voices heard and will protest peaceably to do so. The verdicts do not end the contested debate about gun control or the shooting of Blacks by the police. Police officer Rusten Sheskey shot and seriously injured Blake, an African American. Sheskey shot Blake seven times when Blake opened the driver’s door to his girlfriend’s rented SUV. The officer said that he believed he was about to be stabbed by Blake, who was carrying a knife. After the deaths of so many Blacks by the police, the shooting of Blake is a continuation of our country’s systemic racial turmoil. Whether one believes Kyle Rittenhouse was innocent or guilty, one cannot divorce his actions from this huge social problem. It continues and will do so until we implement significant changes in policing.
On Sunday, November 21, 2021, 60 Minutes interviewed Yale social scientist Philip Atiba Goff, who has spent the last 14 years advising police forces on reimagining their work. Given the unfortunate title, “Defund the Police” has become a flash point between Whites and Blacks and between the police and the people they protect. “Defund the Police” was a marketing nightmare and doesn’t convey clearly what its founders meant. “Defunding” comes across as punitive and sets up the usual partisan triggers.
Several RAND Corporation research papers say we often overburdened police with tasks more suited for other professionals better trained to deal with social issues such as homelessness, mental health, and drug abuse. States and cities could reallocate police budgets to other service providers, allowing departments to focus on their primary jobs: major crime. Goff, who is CEO of the Center for Policing Equity, “analyzes police data, 911 calls, arrests, and traffic stops, to help cities reduce racial disparity and the use of force.” He calls this Reimagining the Police. This is a much more apt phrase to describe the process. And it’s one that many city police forces are starting to address seriously.
From the outset of the investigation and his arrest, Second Amendment advocates and the right have used Rittenhouse as their poster boy for a society gone awry. As Politico writer Meridith McGraw wrote, “Well before he was acquitted on the five counts he faced, Rittenhouse had found absolution elsewhere. A wide swath of conservatives had turned his case into an example of a social justice system run amok and Rittenhouse himself into an avatar of Second Amendment virtuosity. They treated the trial outcome as vindication, perhaps divine.”
Supporters set up legal defense funds, and they printed t-shirts with his image and the slogan, “Don’t Tread on Me.” Congressman Matt Gaetz has offered him a House internship. And Tucker Carlson and a Fox News film crew were on location within Rittenhouse’s defense team. But not all Republicans find this comforting. Strategist Gregg Keller sees the right turning Rittenhouse into a hero. But he cautions, “I think given the situation he found himself in, what he did appears to be justified—but I would stop short of lionizing him as a hero, a 17-year-old kid who found himself in that situation.”
The way the right is using Rittenhouse is disgraceful. Is he mature enough to understand the ramifications of his actions? Will society allow him to try? He killed two people. As a parent of young adults, I’m very aware their minds aren’t fully wired yet to grasp the maturity required to be an adult. (Of course, some adults are failing at it too—I’m looking at you, Matt and Donald Jr.) Placing him in the limelight won’t help him. And pushing him to the forefront of these social debates by others with their own agendas is self-serving.
The trial verdict is in. But the future of Kyle Rittenhouse isn’t yet. Give the man a chance to live with and process the events where he was a willing participant. Let him grow up. In Carlson’s documentary, Rittenhouse voices his support for Black Lives Matter. Let’s see how he shows that support. Ultimately, let him decide without the influences of the media and the Gaetz’s and Carlson’s of the world.

We Are Made One with What We Touch and See
We are resolved into the supreme air,
We are made one with what we touch and see,
With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair,
With our young lives each spring impassioned tree
Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range
The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.

Daddy bluebird has been very busy lately feeding five hungry hatchlings. One morning he found some flying ants swarming out of this tree stump in my back yard. He went back and forth and back and forth, picking up as many bugs as he could carry before heading back to the nest box.
In the past, the male bluebird has always been more shy than the female. I have a hard time getting close enough for shots like this. But this day he didn't seem to mind me...probably because he couldn't resist the bugs and the easy meal they offered. I sat on the deck steps and took pics!
