Mountains, meadows, and lakes (lakes not shown here) of the #Sierra are another of my #FavoriteThings. #California is lucky to have the entire western Sierra side, into Lake Tahoe, but the High Sierra on the east side is the real standout, here near Lee Vining.

There's never a problem finding big rocks for #RockinTuesday in #Sedona, #Arizona. These are seen from the vicinity of the Chuckwagon and Arizona Cypress trails, a bit northwest of town.

Butterfly Season 2025
I took almost 1,300 Pipevine Swallowtail photos this year. Hard to pick a favorite. This is one of my favorites.

Gila Woodpeckers (Piciformes: Picidae: Melanerpes uropygialis) can be found from southern Arizona through western Mexico. They often nest in saguaro cactuses by pecking holes into them. These nest holes are later often used by other birds. Saguaro National Park (West), Arizona, 18 Feb 2017.

I nominate the very tiny Eastern Tailed-Blue butterfly as the official butterfly of BlueSky. The shape is practically a dead ringer for the logo.

Short-billed Gull. Victoria, British Columbia.
Short-billed Gull is the only North American “white-headed” gull to regularly build nests in trees, though it also nests on the ground.

For a timeline cleanse, we had low clouds tonight so I wasn’t sure we were going to get the Hunter’s Moonrise. But sure enough it showed up just long enough before absconding behind another cloud bank. Tap for full size. I hope you have had a great day!
