The beauty of these photos in no way diminishes the reality they present, nor does the hard reality portrayed diminish the exquisitely beautiful world.
You always speak so well- as well as post great pictures! I look forward to all your posts! Can we run you for president?? No, you're too good for that!
More of this truth-telling, please. In fact, a series of essays like this one (with photos, of course), published as a book, is something I wish for. I would buy a bunch as Christmas presents, and of course such a book should be publicized far beyond me. Seriously. We needed these stories circulating before the election—but there will be more elections.
Thanks Susan. i put together a book--that was the origin of Opposable, actually-- and it is just too hard to find a publisher. In order to successfully self-publish, one has to be prepared to promote oneself and the book. I know myself well enuf to know I cannot/will not do that. But I am enormously pleased that you would suggest it.
Maybe you should rethink that. If you already have the files prepared, why hold back? These days books can be printed one by one, and they can become popular just by word of mouth. Also, regular publishers will then pick up self-published books. You just have to take the first step. Actually, you've already taken several steps.
Thanks for commenting and the kind words. I didnt want to come off a scold, and there is nothing wrong with 'just' pretty pictures. but the original post nagged at me.
Thank you, Terry! I applaud any attempts to get back control of the truth. The oligarchs, billionaires, and their minions have pretty much complete control over "the truth"! Instead of honesty we have "truthiness", AI et al.
Rant on! Unlike JD Vance, who claimed immigrants were eating pets to deceive people, your observations are based on provable facts. Brava. I hear that for our all sanity, we don't have to share a Thanksgiving table with those who stress us. I just finished guiding a tour with American, British, Cuban, Argentine and Canadian people who were all in disbelief over the election results. Take heart Americans, the world sympathizes and is just has horrified at the outcome..
Well said, Terry, as always. Thank you.
And thanks so much for what you do. I always enjoy your posts and learn something I needed to know,
Dear Terry,
The beauty of these photos in no way diminishes the reality they present, nor does the hard reality portrayed diminish the exquisitely beautiful world.
As ever, thank you, for capturing both.
Health.

Thanks. What a gracious, encouraging comment.

Thank you Terry for your commentary which is the reality that we all need to consider beyond the beauty of the pictures, especially now.

Thank you Terry for your truth telling. There are hard truths ahead and I’m grateful to you and others who write of them so passionately.
thank you. i wish i knew which Carol you are. I know 3: W? L? V?

Thanks Tom. I reposted at risk of sounding like a scold. not the worst i have been called
Context is everything, Terry! As much as I enjoy your pics, the words matter and we need those too! Thank you.
Thanks. Photos are SOOOO much easier.
Truth in the face of lies will help us. Hard but fair. We can get through this. Together. Thank you.
Thanks. Finger crossed.
Go for it, Terry. You speak for many of us. I shudder at what’s to come.
Thanks Alison. Yes, and winter, too.

Thanks Judy. Would have loved to tag along on the tour. I bet you were great.
