#SilentSunday #hanami #nightphotography #moon

Four photos of puffy pink japanese cherry blossoms in full bloom. But shot at night, with our Moon's cool light lurking in from between the branches
Those trees are decorating a city center, so they are lit from below
Rosy colours contrasting nicely with cold dark sky
Depth of field was a nightmare, though. Ended up blending two images to get both a sharp moon and crisp blossoms in the front.

Here’s a poem called ‘For Your Own Safety and Protection’.

For Your Own Safety and Protection   In response to the recent flooding of the poetry trade with cheap, inferior verse, heavy tariffs have been imposed on this poem.   As a result, it is unlikely this poem will be read by anyone outside my domestic market – or as I like to call her, my cat.   Such news will come as a relief to the thousands of people who have already found my poetry to be taxing enough,   and lends further credence to those literary critics who consider my work to be of little import.   Brian Bilston

Prayer for Uninteresting Times   Send me a slow news day, a quiet, subdued day, in which nothing much happens of note, save for the passing of time, the consumption of wine, and a re-run of Murder, She Wrote. Grant me a no news day, a spare-me-your-views day, in which nothing much happens at all, except a few hours together some regional weather, a day we can barely recall. Brian Bilston

Someone told me I wasn't supposed to bring my phone to the #handsoff rally. Apparently, some people are worried about the federal government tracking them. I get the concern, but if I was at worried I certainly wouldn't be posting photos on social media, now would I? :-)

It's not true that the four U.S. soldiers who recently died in Lithuania weren't honored by a sitting president. The problem is that wasn't the U.S. president who honored them. It was the President of Lithuania. Trump couldn't be bothered with it.

Attended my first protest of Trump 2 at Plymouth Rock in MA.
I am protesting for the following reasons and more:

Disappearing people for political protest.
Crashing the market.
Dismantling the judiciary.
Looting government agencies.
Destroying scientific research.
Pardoning those who commit felonies for you
Deporting people without due process.
Bullying Canada

I could keep going. What are we even doing folks?
