Independence Day 2026, 250 years.

“…It is their right, it is their duty to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their security.”

Let us not celebrate where we are, but where We the People can lead this house divided, yet a house nonetheless.

Be everwell.

A river divided flows out of the mountains beneath a cloudy sky, forest to the right and on the island between channels.

    Another day. Another bike ride at sunset in a local forest. Another stare-down contest with the local wildlife. Another loss. Score so far: fawn 2; me 0. 😂

    Photo of fawn standing still on dirt road staring directly at me.  Road has green foliage on each side.  This is the access road to the trail that I was on two days ago when I had a similar encounter with a (or same?) fawn.

      “Mountains, Morning Light” — Morning light, mist and clouds on Beinn Dearg, Isle of Skye.

      As a person who has spent a lifetime exploring California’s High Sierra Nevada, I have seen a lot of rugged, alpine scenes. “My” mountains typically require me to climb to near or above 10,000′ to see scenes like this. But here in Scotland, on the Isle of Skye specifically, the mountains rise from essentially sea level. While the peaks are all below 4000′, they nonetheless present the same alpine scenery I find among the highest peaks in the Sierra…more: gdanmitchell.com/2026/07/03/mo

                            This little cascade was in a truly magical location, and not one a person would associate with Montana.

                            No big mountain, no sweeping vista. Instead, a tiny stream in a narrow gulch. I doubt there’s anyone local who knows this exists.

The air to the right is full of turbulent small streaks, probably from the spores release from the mushroom.

The background is quite dark with some glow and haze from the sunlight.

Here the shutter speed was about 1/500 seconds, this is fast enough to get the body sharp, but slow enough to really blur the wings and give some shape. Had I of used a faster shutter speed - say 1/1000th the wings would have looked more frozen in space and a completely different effect achieved."

                                                Good day!

                                                Went for my walk dressed like it was March. I was still chilly. I even wore fingerless gloves. It was wonderful out, the world quiet, the rain steady.

                                                Evie Cat finally woke up, checked the weather, and went back to bed.

                                                Perfect weather for finishing the Book-7 quasi rewrite.

                                                Be everwell.

                                                A paved walking trail is wet with falling rain, the growth to the right lush and green.

                                                  Wide horizontal landscape image of a meadow surrounded by forest. A wooden fencepost is at the foreground center of the frame. A wooden fence leads the view into the distance, with a small trail running next to the fence. Two wires run from the post to the right. The light is very warm. The sky is bright blue on the right, and covered by a large gray cloud on the left. The cloud turned out to be an empty promise as not a single drop of rain fell that day.

A close-up of moss in the forest. The focus is on the spore capsules protruding from the small green mound of moss; next to it lies a golden-brown leaf from last year. The background is out of focus, with lots of specks of light.
