We are posting this placard at all of our offices and asking our union contract farms to post as well.

We encourage our friends to put up similar placards at their business as immigration agents do not have the right to go on private property without permission.

Fajada Butte
Chaco Culture National Historic Park, NM

Happy Solstice! I don't have a solstice photo, so looked through my images and found inspiration.

Fajada Butte is famous for its Sun Dagger—an astronomical petroglyph created by the ancient puebloans to calculate the solstice (and Spring & Autumn equinox).

The photo I was going to post was small, as I'd originally processed it years ago. In finding the original I instead chose this one taken with my phone out of the window of my friend's car as we left the park at sunset. I thought the motion blur would serve as a nice metaphor for the passage of time since the Sun Dagger was first used to determine the Solstice.

In winter I get up at night
And dress by yellow candle-light.
In summer, quite the other way,
I have to go to bed by day…

—Robert Louis Stevenson, “Bed in Summer”
published in A CHILD’S GARDEN OF VERSES (1885)

Hen and Chicks
Redondo Beach, CA

Someone posted a nice photo of a whole flock of hens and chicks yesterday. I'd give them a hat-tip if my memory was better. If that was you, feel free to take a bow. Just one "hen" here, but loved the low light.

It's been about 7 years since I first noticed a "Witch's Broom" in the #Boise National Forest. Until today, I didn't know what it was called. And now I know what it was in a number of pine trees I saw during a hike.
