Serenity on an overcast day
The photographer at work
Within the intensity & density of a heavily populated metropolis as the San Francisco Bay area, are many oases of serenity. Captured by my Nikon D-3300 & iPhone 12 mini, is the Chinese Pavilion at Blue Heron Lake in Golden Gate Park

Beautiful lady bug & yes…producing magic.
Quiet, Serene
Rock on!
Low tide
Samish Bay, just south of Bellingham, Washington. The shallow mud flats are oyster beds, plus plenty of clams & mussels along the shoreline.
Off in the distance are the San Juan Islands, beyond that, Canada.
Springtime blooms
Amazing how these tulip flowers open
Soft focus yields great perspective
Tulips may be Dutch in origin, but the folks in Skagit Valley, Washington (who came from Holland), have done a masterful job of planting & preserving.
A couple of tulip photos i captured on my Nikon D-3300 in Skagit County, Washington earlier this afternoon.

Tens of thousands march into downtown Seattle
More of #NoKings in Seattle. People came with their signs, their spirit & tens of thousands of a multi-racial coalition marched from Seattle Central College to the Seattle Center in No Kings Day 3.
#Seattle
Two of many neighbors i joined on the Seattle march
The people were many, the signs were many
Senior moments
Seattle strong!

Pine Tree Arch, Arches National Park
Natural Bridge, Bryce Canyon National Park
Geological Arches. 65 million years in the making. As humans in the 21st Century, we are a mere speck in time. They’ve survived wars, famine, meteors. Natural beauty & awe overwhelm you.

Abby, the 3-day old kid
Abby & her mom Hana.
Animals cease to amaze me. My neighbor went to Spain for 2 weeks & told me, “feed my 2 goats”. On Sunday, The doe gave birth to a female kid. This is Abby, at 3 days old. Amazing how energetic, walking, jumping, this little kid is.

Spring is a time for regeneration & re-birth from the dormancy of winter. Fresh fragrant smells of fruit tree blossoms, daffodils and hyacinths rising out of the ground to show off their color.

I was a union organizer in the public sector for 28 years. My goal was to build a multi-racial, workplace representative organizing committee, made up of women & men. Strategies & decisions by consensus. It’s how you build worker power, not one man on a pedestal.
Migratory in Florida from October to March
White Pelican
Birds of a feather flock together
