South by Southwest cut ties with the U.S. Army in 2024 after widespread protests. Musicians are protesting again over the military's ties to Capital Factory, one of the festival's partners. https://www.kut.org/life-arts/2026-03-13/sxsw-2026-austin-tx-capital-factory-protests-military-defense-contractors

Editing video in Canva is fun Fun FUN! A totally new medium for me. This past week, Lexi and I went for a morning paddle on the Colorado, and right near the mouth of Barton Creek: this lovely creature! Just the prior week I had found some Great Blue Heron feathers in the water for the first time. I brought 'em home and disinfected them and I've been so proud to have this medicine here in my home. Then this! I've never EVER had a heron allow me this close- let alone this close for this long! And the drift of my raft created the perfect panning action. And this was actually my second shot. It's as if this bird felt, knew and trusted me... and was ALL IN on what we would create together! Annnnnd... fun fact here- the font I chose due to it's visually matching the vibe of our Herr-on friend here is... coinkydinkly called... ... ... "Herr Von" Mueller.. Well Ahhhhhmen!

[As I couldn't find a file to download, I pulled the music off of YouTube with BlackHole into Audacity. MOved that over into Canva Pro! So much fun!! My first time doing something like this. Shot the slo-mo video on my old iPhone last week just before replacing it. Music: The Cranes remixed by Tripnotic.]

Isn’t this just lovely!
Another amazing cake (that I would admire but also eventually cut and eat). Some people's icing skills are just beyond incredible.
(Found on the page of Incredible Gardens but they didn't know who the artist is.)
