Julia Butterfly

Hello Friends,

This is a Julia butterfly shot at a butterfly enclosure at Hortus Botanicus in Amsterdam. I used my Panasonic Lumix GX7 macro camera and 3D lens. Since live butterflies generally are not receptive to sitting still while wooden frame sides are placed around them, this is a traditional 3D shots and not a phantogram.

. A brief glance at what's happening in Minnesota reveals the Trump game plan. Minnesota has become a testing ground. Over 3,000 heavily armed, poorly trained, mostly masked ICE officers now roam the streets of Minneapolis and the surrounding area. Their number alone dwarfs local law enforcement. They stop and question anyone they want on any pretext or no pretext. Both non citizens and US citizens are expected to be compliant and docile and submit to their authority. Per Trump and Noel and house speaker Johnson, they're doing exactly what they were trained to do.

This is our America now. City by city, state by state. This is fascism. This is now.

Wishing for better,

Barry Rothstein
