For #WhiskersWednesday, more “Meowls in Towels.” (It’s the kitty’s new favorite game 🙂).

I call this one “The Meowdonna of the Bathtub.”

This little guy is the greeter at the Amish farm where I stopped to buy eggs.

#Immigrants #Iowa #ACLU #refugees

Each year, the ACLU of Iowa recognizes a student for activism in support of civil liberties.

This year’s winner is a refugee from South Sudan who lives in the Des Moines area.

#USpol #ICE

I wrote the other day about how all the usual distractions (NFL, NBA, etc) seem to be going on without interruption despite the tRump regime unleashing a heavily-armed militia on major US cities. As if nothing much was going on.

The events in Minneapolis have changed that a bit. Tonight’s T-Wolves game has been postponed. As with yesterday’s strike, business as usual needs to stop until enough people wake up.

Cempasúchil — the marigold — is the traditional flower used to decorate the altar (ofrenda) for the Day of the Dead in Mexico.

And despite the names French Marigold or African Marigold, the marigold genus is native to Mexico, Central America, and parts of S. America.

Panicled Aster (best guess) with a Clouded Sulphur Butterfly (and several small bees).

For #Mondog, here’s a random parking lot dog that I saw this morning.

It wasn’t until AFTER I took the photo that I noticed the owner was also sitting in the car. So… I probably committed a bit of a faux paw.

Happy Glowing Mountain Sunrise Day!

This phenomenon is celebrated spring and fall when sunlight from the rising sun passes through #HouseHenge and illuminates this painting on the west wall.

(The painting was given to me by one of my high school students.)
