March 22, 1931, happy birthday to Canadian actor William #Shatner 🎂🖖
In his role as #Enterprise Captain #Kirk in #StarTrek he repeatedly had to deal with aliens, minerals & rocks 🐉💎🪨
Spotted this pileated woodpecker while driving and circled back for this close up!

#Vermont's food waste and single use #plastics laws are popular, but there is room for improvement. I'm watching the imperfect implementation of these aspirational laws with some interest. https://www.uvm.edu/news/gund/vermonts-food-waste-laws-are-popular-vexing-issues-remain?utm_source=slate&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=vtmatters_03202023 #recycling #plastic #FoodWaste
texo: I weave
Minimus has been trying his paw as a textor (weaver). The stamina (warp threads) are strung on the tela (loom) and held down with pondera (loom weights). Minimus is weaving with a radius (shuttle) wound with filum prasinum (green yarn).

And then there's this one about a hearty 8-year-old who crossed the Atlantic by himself.

Happy (belated) #FirstDayOfSpring ✨ Here’s a scene from the Secret Garden 🌱
Another "puzzle extravaganza for a cause" just dropped.
Puzzles for Democracy is a set of 51 puzzles for every state in the country plus D.C. -- including crosswords, word games, logic puzzles and more.
Not solved them yet, but I think it's reasonable to assume they're mainly aimed at American solvers.
Among the constructors are lots of my favorites (see tags below).

Saul Leiter
Snow, 1960
By the way, there is a wonderful documentary on Saul Leiter called “In No Great Hurry.” I rented it from Apple some time ago, but I assume it’s available to watch in a few places at this point. Most highly recommended, 10/10 if you are a photographer or a fan of egolessness and vision.

Absolutely stunning Glasgow Style stained glass window in David Barclay's early 1900s Kensington Gate terrace in the west end of Glasgow.

Originally from the UK, I now live in the state of Vermont in the US.
I love puzzles, especially crosswords, and do a lot of cycling, hiking and yoga.
