Crown Imperial 'Rubra Maxima' and Pansies by Dawn Cavalieri Crown Imperial 'Rubra Maxima' and Pansies Photograph by Dawn Cavalieri

I like this composition and the way the colors work together. As lovely as the crown imperial is, the photo would have been boring without the pansies.

Eastern Carpenter Bee on Anise-Scented Sage by Dawn Cavalieri Eastern Carpenter Bee on Anise-Scented Sage Photograph by Dawn Cavalieri

"Mmm ... nectar" [said in a Homer Simpson voice].

In my experience, anise-scented sage is of particular interest to carpenter bees, important native pollinators.

I thought that young people would turn out in massive numbers to vote for Harris and save us from Dump. I was wrong. Hate, bigotry, and ignorance have no age restrictions, it seems.

So disappointing.

Trump administration wants to un-fire nuclear safety workers but can’t figure out how to reach them The individuals, who work in an agency that oversees the nation's nuclear stockpile, had been fired on Thursday and lost access to their federal government email accounts.

Are we great yet?

No relief: Inflation unexpectedly heated up last month Inflation remained stubbornly high in January, as grocery, gasoline and shelter costs all rose. Egg prices saw their biggest price hike in almost a decade.

Do tell, Trumpers, how your messiah was going to lower egg prices.

Teacher and a teenage student killed in a shooting at a private Christian school in Wisconsin A teenage student opened fire at a private Christian school Monday morning in Wisconsin, killing a teacher and another student in the final week before Christmas break.

“Firearms were the leading cause of death among children in 2020 and 2021, according to KFF, a nonprofit that researches health care issues.”

By all means, Congress, continue to do absolutely nothing.

“Pro life” my pasty white ass.

One of the things I hate most about cable "news" these days is they talk about trump as the "president-elect" instead of adjudicated rapist, convicted felon, insurrection inciter and lame duck.

He doesn't deserve the respect that goes with the title of President.

PERIOD.

Immigration reform doesn't have to be cruel. Democrats offered a plan earlier this year in Congress, with virtually everything the GOP wanted, but they rejected it at Trump's demand so it could be a campaign issue. Remember the cruelty is a feature, not a bug, for him.

I give you Tweek, Micro-dinosaur, Mighty Huntress, and Commander of Laptops.

Hello! I make my living doing graphic design. I spend a lot of my free time taking and editing nature photos; I also create digital and traditional art. I’m addicted to word and number puzzles (crosswords, Wordle, Spelling Bee, Ken-Ken, etc.). Two guinea pigs and one parrot are my current owners.

Happy Thanksliving, Lem and flock. Love you all! Be good to the human (no beak punching).

Ohio governor signs bill limiting bathroom use by transgender students A ban on transgender students from kindergarten through college using multiperson bathrooms that fit their gender identities has become law in Ohio.

I wonder whether the actual STUDENTS care about who uses what bathroom, or whether this is just more pandering by Republicans to transphobic and bigoted parents. I suspect the latter.
