Spent the evening with family, and my photographer nephew showed me today’s capture: a seagull trying to move in on an osprey’s catch. It’s a nice break to see drama from something other than the human news this past week— it seemed relentless.
Taking the night off. I’ll be back at it tomorrow.

I don't want to disrespect your usual historical and analytic writing, but...
These breaks you take, with beauty always included, are a really useful model of how to survive in stressful times.
Thank you for both modes.
Please take good care of yourself, you are a national treasure.
