This is dang neato. I would do itβ€”I’m a U.S. citizen so it ain’t foreign interferenceβ€”but stamps in Canada are Uncheap. If you have the time to do a few of these though, it’s a Thing You Can Do to fight fascism. Maybe I’ll write a bunch, drive to the U.S. and buy postage there. YEAH ROAD TRIP

🌱Getting closer… I enjoy agapanthus as a flower from my childhood. We had them growing in the mow strip between the curb and sidewalk. Didn’t like grass even back then… waaay back then…

Forgot to post fireworks reflection photos and a photo of Santa Cruz's discontinued legal display; but a little anarchy was fun 'till things start burning down (without hurting anybody). πŸ˜€πŸŽ† Most memorable show was at Wolf Trap amphitheater, McLean, VA, when it all blew up before the show started!

4th of July past: Now banned citizens' do-it-yourself fireworks shows, Rio Delmar Beach, Aptos, CA. These amateur displays were a "secret" long-term super-fun tradition until they got too popular and the adjacent hills were getting set on fire. Take care! #fireworks #riodelmar #photography #aptos
