"Some people are born in the mountains, while others are born by the sea. Some people are happy to live in the place they were born, while others must make a journey... Between the ocean and the mountains is a wild forest. That is where I want to make my home.β β Maia Kobabe

Hope you hep cats are easing back.
For a timeline cleanse, here's a short video of some of this morning's wonderful wave spritz created by offshore winds during the wave breaks, accentuated by the golden color of the backlit rising sun. Tap and turn horizontal for full size. I hope you are having a great day!
Just stunning #embroidery #thesewingsongbird
Just because good news is worth celebrating:
There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.
HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.
A downy woodpecker sits on a spruce on a sunny winter day. "Ahh... Febuary" it says. Close up on it correcting "Febrary" then "Febberary..." then finally "Frebrury"

The Aurora Borealis put on a show across the North Atlantic Ocean on Tuesday night.
A photo of the moon in a blue sky. 3/4 of the moon is visible, the lower left edge is in shadow.
Well shoot, was hoping for a nice dark sky shot of the moon tonight but high thin clouds are flooding in from the west so a bluesky shot will have to do. 70% illuminated waxing gibbous phase.

Elie Wiesel warned that, βto forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.β Canada will remember β so that βNever Againβ is always true.
A pale winterβs wash of light at the end of the day. The iron men lead the eye onwards, forever looking towards the grey horizon on a cold blue tinted afternoon at Crosby beach. #IronMenCrosby
Watercolor painting of a snowy street at dusk. Two people are walking close together, with their shadows stretching in multiple directions from the yellow street lamps. The people appear as silhouettes against the snow.
I painted this based on a poem by my husband. I think the closeness of the figures is a counterpoint to the #Cold

Ok, I figure Iβm not the only one who needs this #OceanDevotion.
Very cold. But beautiful.
Iβll aim to go out tomorrow morning before the storm arrives. π€

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.

A sticker on the back of a red car, slightly peeling in the top right hand corner, says βBlack lives matter. Womenβs rights are human rights. No human is illegal. Science is real. Love is love. Kindness is everything.β
Some bumper sticker wisdom on the car beside mine in the parking lot this morning. Such simple messaging, and yet⦠*gestures broadly*
This is one of two views of the Ile aux Fleurs, an island in the Seine near VΓ©theuil, that Monet painted in the summer of 1880. The other, slightly larger version is in the National Gallery of Art, Washington. A variety of formal problems engaged the artist's attention during this period. Here the rapid, flickering brushstrokes create a strong pattern in the foreground that diminishes the illusion of space and emphasizes the abstract character of the painted surface. #art #painting

Whatever thoughts about the river have arisen now, they never describe the river at this moment.
The actual state of the river is indescribable.
It is eternally unique, just as it is, now.
