Rookie Ashlon Jackson talks about her first two days of training camp and the defensive intensity of the #Valkyries:

Bluesky friends! I’m hunting for a copy of Amtrak’s "The National" magazine (2017) featuring the Cleveland food scene.

My friend shot the cover photo and met her husband because of that issue!

I’d love to gift it to her, since they no longer publish it. Can ya’ll help me find this issue? 🙏🏽

The Iranian government’s depiction of LEGO Kash Patel is lit.

Yeah, I get it. I have a relative who is homeless and mentally ill. It breaks my heart.

Perspective and gratitude. I have to keep reminding myself to keep those two words in my mindset during these difficult times. Made this photo of a man holding his dog asking for donations while shielding themselves from the rain. Be thankful for the things in your life.

Some more guard work:

View of one of many ponds in Briones

One small section of poppies along many hillsides blanketed by them.

Cows grazing along the hills.

One lone poppy peaking out from long strands of grass.

I love hiking new trails in the area. There is a super bloom of poppies happening near me. The best part is that it’s on trails that the masses haven’t discovered and ruined. #hike #nature #bloomscrolling

Five storylines to watch as Valkyries begin training camp All-Star Kayla Thornton says she is ready to play Game 1. Plus, coach Natalie Nakase talks offseason.

First day of training camp is in the books.

Between Kayla Thornton’s return and a position battle for backup point guard, there’s a ton of storylines for the #Valkyries as they head into Year 2

I wrote about a few them here: www.mercurynews.com/2026/04/19/v...

I love street photography because you never know who or what you'll run into. That's why I carry a camera with me everywhere I go. ~ Can anyone tell me why the carrot crossed the road? #photography #berkeley #photojournlism #bayarea

Moon and Venus beautiful tonight

I miss you!

There was a time when the president inspired pride instead of exhaustion. I miss that more than I can say.
