One small step. This morning, had conversation w my 15yr old twin sons about trans kids at their school. I asked if they knew of them. We talked about how the trans community is under siege right now w propaganda. One son turned to me and said, “you don’t have to worry Mom, we are allies”, to which my other son agreed.

I do think small conversations like this can make a difference.

Uhhh Ohhh 😲

You might recall that Tuesday, I posted a photo of a sparrow who was staring me down. It looks like it's had enough😂. Is it just me or does this chipping sparrow look kind of tough.

The Ukrainian edition of #Elle Magazine has honoured the women fighting for #Ukraine on its upcoming cover.

Calling something “woke” is just a way to avoid proposing real solutions or doing anything to actually fix problems.

Racism? It’s those “woke” schools and colleges!
Bank failures? “Woke” board policies!
Oppression of LGBTQs? It’s “woke” culture’s fault!

Stay woke, friends.

#FollowBackFriday. Yay!

I was a bit apprehensive about signing up to #Mastodon but I shouldn't have worried. It's like a breath of fresh air to be surrounded by pleasant and positive people on here.

I'm a fairly atypical Granny, living in #Scotland, and with an #Iceland photography obsession. Bout ye?

Reynisdrangar sea stacks off the southern coast of #Iceland at Vík í Mýrdal. Although the sea looks dark and foreboding, it's actually very clear water but the sand beneath is black.

The ever-present danger of global variables.

Today I finally told my kids that St Patrick isn't real, and it's been me putting the snakes under their pillows all these years.

@HamonWry I'm trying, don't attack me.

I love #MonsterPutin...Sadly not even #Russian Propaganda media news can make me say that without puking on the middle of typing it.

Russia today just followed me, should i got worried about living in a 5th floor?😂

I'm hiding.

This very red northern cardinal is in a crepe myrtle tree near my back fence. Fortunately, it's up high so the fence isn't in the picture.

"The cardinal is a popular motif on many bird-themed decorations, holiday cards, and ornaments. It even features as a main character in a popular video game-turned-movie. The species' eye-catching plumage and wide distribution also helped land the Northern Cardinal the title of “most popular state bird,” since the following seven states declare it the official bird (the most for any species): Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia. It's also a popular sports mascot, from Missouri (the St. Louis professional baseball team) to Arizona (professional football team), and at countless colleges and high schools." - abcbirds.org

Hey mastodon world, I'm #newhere. My name is Kathrin, I'm a travel photographer from Germany. One of my favourite images is this one here of a field full of red poppies. I took it this summer in Blankenburg, Harz Mountains, Germany. I've never seen such a beautiful field before!

I sell my photography (and digital abstracts) as prints, jigsaw puzzles, on pillows, ornaments, journals etc (links in bio).
