Honoring Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Honoring RBG

On September 29th, Olympia Indivisible sponsored a peaceful rally to honor the legacy of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Friends and neighbors masked up and social distanced on Fourth Avenue in downtown Olympia. Our signs said RUTH SENT US:

To Protect the Supreme Court
To Flip the Senate
To Win the White House
To Phone Bank, Text, and Donate
To Save Democracy
And Vote Early! Use Ballot Boxes
Learn How: OlympiaIndivisible.org

A set of photographs on my Flickr account document some of the rallies of the past three years as well as this group.

Under the Summer Sky

The comet Neowise and the Big Dipper

Have been able to locate and see the comet Neowise several nights during July and track its location as it moves further from us. The sky has been brighter recently making it more difficult to see, and the window of opportunity from this location is diminished and it will soon be obscured by the trees.

The NASA app has been very helpful with when, and where to see the ISS and how long it is visible.

Summer Sky

Finding pleasure on a warm summer evening while sheltering in place. Turning our gaze upward in search of the comet, stars, satellites, and the International Space Station. These uplifting occurrences reassure us of the creative pursuits and scientific genius of humanity. This 30 second exposure captures the football-field-sized ISS as a dot of light streaking across the sky, during a six minute window of visibility traveling at 5 miles per second.
