Was going to ask about the meaning of the turtle! Love the meaning and symbolism. Photographed the attavhed yesterday.
Finally figured out my @smallrig #cage situation. Couldn't for the life of me figure out how to reassemble it. Thought I was missing a piece, or needed special screws. Traveled w it for 5yrs thinking each trip I'd figure it out. The "missing" piece is a slide on the bottom. 🤦🏾♀️ + 2 screws. #photosky
🤗Happy post: I shot a baby shower that turned into a proposal. The couple married earlier this year, but the young man felt he hadn't done it right. So he did a do-over in front of their families. So sweet. The dad-to-be/groom's mom booked me. Her response made my day. #photosky #photography #potd
First art sale of the day: Aerial view of the Milwaukee Art Museum. Part of my MKE360° Series. A gift for dad and Father's Day. ☺️
Got into the Chicago Public Library on the Obama Presidential Center grounds. They have a President's Room. This display is from President Obama's personal collection. When I saw Gwendolyn Brooks, I immediately thought of this ode to Ms. Brooks by Haki Madhubuti. #ObamaCenter #juneteenth
Rolling up on the Obama Presidential Center for some #American #festivities. @obamafoundation.bsky.social #Chicago #ObamaPresidentialCenter #hope #letsgo
"What a gift to be brought together by pure unfiltered joy!" Thank you to my two first loves, New York City and Chicago, for this week. 💞
I haven't watched the full doc yet, so I don't have her name. She didn't understand why the grandchildren of people who her family kept #enslaved during her childhood where less happy and more lazy working on her plantation 100 year after #slavery ended. Are we free yet? #arewefreeyet
"Happy" Juneteenth, y'all. Clipped from "Heritage of Slavery," a 1968 #CBS documentary. George Foster is the journalist. Norwood Hastie, 8th gen plantation owner, is the interviewee. His family settled their SC land in 1672. "Slavery just had to be in those early days."🧵 youtu.be/LOIkjWOdlzQ?...
Beautiful day for a parade. A safe and joyful #Juneteenth to those who observe. Drone shot by yours truly! 😉 #federalholiday #late #USA #Yay
One neighbor came over while I was building the grill and running a pit fire and shouted, "She has a bonfire, y'all! She's finally going to cook for us!" I heard from across the street, "Good! I've been waiting three years for this!" 🫠😫
Friday night. Thought we were going to BBQ after putting the grill together. Did not expect the box to have 100,000 pieces. Done in under 3 hrs but well into my bedtime. Lighting up today. I'm on my neighbors watchlist as they've all had me at their fires over the years.
It's Sunday, so I'm thinking about the Deer District Farmers Market at the Forum. This summer, I'm a new vendor on alternating Sundays - catch me next week. #booksky #photosky #books #author #prints #photography #farmersmarket #fest #festival
@rachelmadnow.bsky.social coming with reminder receipts. There's no way he has ever been legit.
First ride in my city in two years. Second ride of the year. Great time and company at the 9th Annual Promise Zone Bike Ride. #Milwaukee Still have to share about the first ride of the year, #NYC #5BoroRide. #photo #photography #plus #bike
I don't often get car envy, but when I do, it's a stunna. This beauty stopped me & had me gawking. When I returned to my messy car, I looked inside this immaculate leather-trimmed darling, with no pile of junk in the passenger seat, and honestly told myself, "Nah. You don't deserve that." #Bentley
Visited Lady Liberty a couple weeks ago. From this angle, she certainly looked like she turned her back on me. Backwards waving flag didn't help. I haven't decided on my 2026 #Juneteenth image series yet, but Liberty/America turning her back on me may be featured. #photography #America #freedom
Enjoying a great event in Milwaukee this morning! Moms of Milwaukee Symposium (M.O.M.S) presented by Dominique Johnson, First Lady of #Milwaukee.

I don't have twitter, but he looks to be verified. The screenshot below isn't verified and the name doesn't have caps.
Y'all be careful with these pseudo "waves hands in the air" internet folks. My question was "Why repost?" re tfg. Anyone peddling hatred is just as culpable as those originating it. Black, white, other, no difference. I don't need to see what tfg is posting to be angry that he still exists.
My second #ESL class starts tonight. Teaching my own set of Level 1 students. Wish us all luck! #mycontribution #america #resist
