Get ready to kiss another year goodbye and if you've never wondered why someone would not want you to be woke, it's best you start thinking about it. It is important to remember that being woke is not about being perfect or having all the answers. It is an ongoing process of learning, unlearning, and growing. It is about being open to new ideas and perspectives, and about being willing to challenge our own biases and assumptions. It is about striving to create a more just and equitable world for all.
Happy Thanksgiving for all those who celebrate and remember, everyone alive today has something to be thankful for, may you have the strength to find it and the fortitude to hold on. Peace and love.
Here are some photos from my walk today. Special thanks to Docken (whom I'm thankful for) for coming along via full-duplex data transmission.
Yellow-rumped warbler (Setophaga coronata). Imagine being named after the color of your butt.
This is probably our dear friend, male Calypte anna hummingbird, Dusty. I didn't get to observe him long enough nor get a good enough shot in to be absolutely sure it's Dusty but I'm close.
This is probably the other male I've photographed recently. He appears to be finally moving into his adult plumage. Today he was hanging out just outside of Dusty's main headquarters. He seems to have been eating well since my last visit.
Gates were locked today so I had to park off campus. Not a huge walk, .40 miles, each way, to and from the garden but it had me deciding to spend most of my time meandering around inside the garden as opposed to venturing out onto the campus. On the way back to the car I spotted this red-tailed hawk. A little rough shooting with the glare of the sun smacking me in the head.
Love the clarity of the not-Dusty hummingbird pics. I’m thankful for you and your walk reports 😎🦃
