We bring our bird feeders in every night so we don't attract bears. But my husband hadn't finished putting them out this morning before we had visitors.🌿 #naturalists #natureofFrontRange
A mule deer doe has it's muzzle in the bird feeder tray early in the morning.

Dogs got me up at 2:00 am this morning to warn me of intruders.

Two young raccoons cower behind basil plants growing in a long planter on a patio railing. They obviously think the basil plants will hide them. But they are sooo wrong.

Isn't it interesting what hill people are willing to die on when there's things like hunger and ecological collapse? The archive can be found at www.stanyan.me/comic... for now.

Relaxing after another busy day keeping the world safe from squirrels.

Zoe the corgi is in the foreground, sleeping on her back. Her fore legs are pointing to the left while her rear legs are pointing to the right. Tegan, the muttiest mutt ever, sleeps in the background, unconcerned that her best barking buddy has evidently become a corkscrew.

After a hard morning of chasing squirrels, Zoe the corgi and Tegan the mutt take a break together.
A small corgi and a slightly larger cattle dog mix lie on a couch, sleeping. The cattle dog is in the foreground, with the corgi behind her. The corgi's paws are pressing on the top of the cattle dog's head.

Broad-tailed hummingbird sipping from a very tall ornamental yucca. July 2025.
Against a cloudy sky, a view of a female broad-tailed hummingbird from below. She has her wings stretched out and her tail flipped up as she sips from a spike of small red yucca flowers.

The one and only Darwin. He knew how to let his tongue hang out.
A tan and white corgi sits in a field. His eyes are scrunched shut and his pink tongue hangs out of his mouth. RIP, buddy.

I found this Black-crowned night heron perched on the side of a trail fifteen years ago. It was totally unconcerned that I was taking its picture. My thanks to this bird for encouraging me to continue with nature photography.🦜

So glad this book is still available through my public library! THE WATCHER by Jeanette Winter, published in 2011 by Schwartz & Wade, Random House Children’s, is a lovely book to introduce young children to some of Jane Goodall’s discoveries. 📚👍🏻 #kidlit #edusky

Robins are so common they often get overoooked, but this one was posing in such beautiful light that I had to take its picture.
Glad I did.

What dyslexia looks like ...
Two green panels. The first is captioned: "What I read..." The panel shows a title that says "Leafy Greens" in fancy font. Beneath that are the words "Produce" "fresh" "ProToZoa". Each word on a separate line. A protzoa is beneath the text. Above the second panel text reads "What it really said ..." Second panel reads "Leafy Greens Farmer's Market", "Fresh Produce from A to Z" with pictures of an apple and a zucchini beneath.

Rewards invest in trust. Punishment drains it. Training should build bonds, not break them.

Three dogs—two golden-brown retriever types and one black dog—sit on a sandy beach with the ocean in the background. Text on the photo reads: “Trust is built with rewards. Punishment spends it quickly.” Logo at bottom.
