"A group of University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) students have painstakingly preserved a photographer’s archive by digitizing it and making it available online to anyone. Six students worked on the project over the course of two to preserve the work of Clinton Wright, a press photographer who documented Black life in the Westside neighborhood of Las Vegas in the 1960s."

I'm always on the lookout for owls. I don't always see them, but when I can, it always makes me feel good for the day.

Seems I never uploaded the pair of owls I found during the massive wind storm a couple weeks ago?

Least, I can't find the image now.

Happened to be looking outside after I heard the hummingbird chittering and managed to see some starlings chasing the Cooper's hawk. So outside I went! Plus got a nice sunrise photo of a mourning dove and European starling.

"When #Nevada’s Republican voters receive their sample ballots for the state’s presidential primary this month, the name of the party’s frontrunner will be missing.

His absence has nothing to do with any legal challenges to Trump’s eligibility to participate in the state’s primary...

No, #Trump is ineligible because his campaign didn’t fill out an application to place him on the primary ballot."
