The first day of winter is definitely coming in strong! It’s important to find unconventional beauty, even when the land is encased in ice.

The roof of this little announcement board at the trailhead was covered with a kickass assortment of mosses and lichens, and I wish I'd had a ladder or a taller person with me. I got these shots from holding my phone way up over my head.

These Swedish trees are wild and wooly with lichen and moss. I've never seen anything like them.

This great proud creature reaching tall in her big furry pelt that sways in the wind and sheds onto the path, it's so abundant. Magnificent.

On this #SilentSunday, I'd like to remind you of the importance of using alt text, especially since there'll be no other commentary to go with your pictures.

It's been a few Sundays since I shared some thoughts behind #silentsunday hashtag. First, you are encouraged to do whatever you want, but the original intention, started elsewhere, was to share a photograph capturing some interesting moment or perspective, with no text in the post (but please please definitely add alt-text for screen readers). Some folks have asked for location information, so you can add that if you want. Or you can just enjoy the wonderful flow of visuals. It's always lovely!

BREAKING: In an emergency alert, #Philadelphia residents (~1.5M people) have been warned to not drink the city water due to a new chemical spill upstream into the Delaware River.
All over the city people are rushing to stock up & stores are limiting purchases.

Calls for civility are often weaponized by abusers, by bigots, by those who would oppress you. If it is considered impolite to speak out against dishonor, then it is time for a true warrior to be rude.
