To the doctors, nurses, staff, and community of HCMC and Hennepin Healthcare: You are there for everyone in Minnesota when we need you and we will be there for you. Thank you. Despite the perfect storm of financial pressures you’re facing, closure is not an option.
Ah, yes, and we know how effective “subtle but pointed statements” via attire are. That’s how the winners of World Wars were determined — the pointed subtlety of the uniforms.
Oh please, as if they care about women. Their policies speak quite loudly to how they actually feel about women.

Drink up. Well, drink up once the water’s turned on.

Do it. Life really is too short.
Every American needs to watch this:
This must stop.

Use Neem oil spray — it is very effective. Word of warning, it does stink when you spray it, but the smell dissipates very quickly. 2-3 treatments (once per week) should be enough.

Disturbing development.

Autumn walk with some close-ups
#Bw #bwproject #bw2025
Black and white landscape. There’s taller grasses and bushes in the foreground in the left corner, a stony creek bed winding through the center into the horizon with a small swath of water visible in the foreground on the right and center. There are constructed stone embankments bordering the creek bed. There’s a walking bridge and a set of stairs leading down the embankment at the point where the creek bed disappears from view. Distant trees constitute the horizon line.
Finally cooler weather for an autumn walk.
I am struggling with the limitations of black and white photography when capturing a busy landscape.

All of us opening the newsfeed in the morning (or any time really).
I am willing to live through layered polos and culottes again to avoid this. And I really hated both.

Recent rains gave an opportunity to do some leaf close-ups
