The old barn still stands,
Dust motes, cobwebs, and hay chaff,
Now home to stray cats.

Damp quilts and bedrolls
huddle under make-shift tents
Lost and forgotten.

Snowball fight awaits
kids answer the battle cry
overcoats left behind

Seasons wax and wane,
winter solstice, a promise
of more light to come.

Sandhill Cranes at Sunset
Bosque del Apache NWR, NM

After spotting cranes along Rio Grande Blvd on my bike ride yesterday (and not getting photos), I was granted permission to begin posting some of my older photos of these wintering birds. šŸ˜‰ Herewith:

Good morning! I’m currently at Beaverton High School in OR where a mass student walk out has just started to demand a proactive ICE protocol for their school and district.

Students say that similar walkouts were planned at multiple other high schools, including Aloha, Sunset, Southridge & more.

One students says they want the district to collaborate with neighboring districts that have implemented more proactive plans, and to coordinate community response plans for when there are reports of ice activity on/nearby school grounds.

Other schools in neighboring districts have connected with rapid response networks. Students say that there are already teams like this organized in the area and ready to work together
