My flower painting 🌹

Picture of my old ass dog, but he's super cute and he always lifts his right ear more than his left

My sweet Riley. He'll only be with us for another month or so... He's suffering and I'm just trying to put the money together to give him peace.
He's been such a good dog. When we lived on the east side of Milwaukee he was our guard dog and he's kept us safe ever since

A leaf fluttered in through the window this morning,
as if supported by the rays of the sun, a bird settled on the fire escape, joy in the task of coffee, joy accompanied me as I walked.

LOL.

A broad, still expanse of water fills the foreground, so clear that the lakebed—small rounded stones in muted grays and browns—shows through beneath a thin veil of reflected sky. The surface is nearly motionless, acting as a mirror for the dawn above. At the horizon, the lake narrows into a distant valley framed by layered mountain ridges. The mountains rise on both sides in dark, cool silhouettes—deep blue to charcoal—softened by early light and atmospheric haze. On the left, a dense forest of conifers forms a continuous, shadowed edge that slopes gently into the water; on the right, the mountain face is steeper, its contours more pronounced but still subdued in the low light. The sky is the focal point. A scattered field of mid-level clouds stretches across it, each cloud catching the first light of sunrise. Colors transition from pale gold and peach near the horizon to cooler blues and soft grays higher up. The brightest band sits just above the distant valley, where the sun—still hidden—pushes a warm glow outward, illuminating the undersides of the clouds. This light is duplicated almost perfectly in the lake’s reflection, forming a symmetrical composition: sky above, sky below, divided by a thin, horizontal line of brighter water near the center. The reflection is slightly softened by faint ripples, but remains remarkably crisp.

A summary of the Strait of Hormuz crisis. Let’s see what next week brings us.

We let the worst people on Earth become the most powerful people on Earth, at a time when the most powerful people on Earth had ready access to the tools to destroy Earth.

Those words will be on humanity's gravestone—should any of a dozen rolling disasters cause global collapse.
