People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.
I have to assume it is some form of fungus that is damaging the tree. It was by far one of the most surreal things I have ever seen, I couldn't make very much sense of it.
The tree is called a River She-Oak, but I have no clue what is going on with the infection area.
It didn't smell like anything besides sap, I think it was a mixture of drying/fresh sap, and some strange fungus growing inside. It seemed like it was just damaged wood underneath, nothing gnarly.
I'd post pics of the mosquitoes in Mn but I couldn't get a wide enough angle lens to capture the entire thing.
--The whole concept of government granted and government regulated 'permits' and the accompanying government mandate for government approved firearms 'training' prior to being blessed by government with the privilege to carry arms in a government approved and regulated manner, flies directly in the face of the fundamental right to keep and bear arms.

I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.
Yep. Florida might have swarms in the millions but ours could give an A-10 Warthog a scare.

The big horn were in Rocky Mountain National Park, in Colorado.
The two sunset photos were taken along a stretch of "scenic highway" in Arizona, between the north rim of the grand canyon, and the Utah border. They're called the Vermilion Cliffs. The smoke is a desert rain.
It was taken with a film camera and the negative scanned. It was actually the first test scan of my (then) new scanner's negative tray.
I've still got to go through and clean it up from the artifacts (dust/missing pixels).
It's a picture of the "upper falls" at Minnamurra Rainforest (NSW south coast) - past Wollongong in the Kiama area. About 2 hours drive south of Sydney.
It was late October, about 10 years ago. That was actually what the light was like at the time (it was around 3 in the afternoon).
The blurring in the foreground is wind shaking the shrubbery. The blur of the waterfall is intentional.
I took two rolls of film that afternoon. I'm not a 'snapper'. If it won't make a decent photo due to angle or lighting or whatever, I don't generally take it. I've missed more than a few "once in a lifetime" shots for this reason.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.
That is not dead which can eternal lie ...
... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.
