I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.

How Great Thou Art - Christian Hymn

"Trump Tower Lebanon" - Postcard

My piece is a "cartoon" in the same vein as Charlie Hebdo cartoons. (Their "cartoon", which made a joke out of the deaths of men, women, and children, offended me, but apparently some thought those deaths were "hilarious", so, I too, can make cartoons that others might find offensive.) My piece and words are also free speech that is protected by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. (Well, it used to be, prior to the ascension of the US Government Ministry of Truth dictating to Social Media Platforms which of their users need to be banned for "misinformation" as defined by the Government.)

Maybe Tom the bully will leave me another comment, telling me to shut up, because I'm not allowed to say anything unless he (and other "Free Speech is fine as long as it agrees with mine" bullies) approves of it.

It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head, in your head
They're still fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head they are dying

"Spring Robin" - Postcard

This week's Sunday Postcard Art theme was "Spring".

Spotting the "first" Robin of the season is one of my signs that Spring is here, where I live in Connecticut, US. Some years, I have seen the "first" one in early to mid February. This year, I didn't see one until the Ides of March (March 15, 2026). This season's Winter has been particularly harsh here.

The Eagle by Lord Alfred Tennyson

He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ring'd with the azure world, he stands.

The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.

This week's Digital Whisper theme was "Blizzard".

I've seen other artists posting for this challenge, but I have been a "lurker". I wanted to do last week's Bonfire theme, but I was too late. Then I made this piece before I knew that the weather forecast now has a potential Blizzard coming this weekend, for the area where I live. :-(

Update: I am unable to enter the challenge, even though I am logged into my Google account when I try to leave a comment there.

Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate you
Reaching for something in the distance
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
