Mastodawn

I was made redundant a couple weeks ago. From a school I’d worked at for 15 years, They gave us 5 days notice

Fortunately, I’m a member of a union. As were all the other teachers.

Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) were with us every step of the way. They made sure it was all above board, kept our dodgy bosses in check, & even helped us negotiate an enhanced redundancy package

So if you haven’t already, join a union

Here's my cat wearing the union badge

Cold Feet

Notice how the feet of this mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) disappear beneath a blanket of feathers, tucked up into its body to stay warm. Pretty cool, huh. Last year I only saw three of these birds around this time; this year there are at least twice that many.

If you're a fan of stunning dove imagery, be sure to explore my photo gallery for a collection of beautiful snapshots that capture their elegance and charm.
