Been a while since I posted anything, but here's a clean shot a few days ago; the outer-world crossroads of a multi-faith cemetery, guarded watchfully by the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. ⛰️😇

River Road on the downtown Louisville waterfront, less than a week after the Ohio crested at 37 feet (+20' over normal conditions). A muddy, stinky mess -- just one of thousands across the commonwealth.

Introducing a puppy to the ocean for the first time is so satisfying; for all parties involved.
She had SO MUCH FUN.🐾

Great blue heron encounters always make feel like I've accidentally trespassed into a some mythical, spiritual world; where nothing is hurried, nonsense is not tolerated and the name of the game is to just *be*.🪶🧘‍♂️

My daughter is re-reading a book she read while we were backpacking a few years ago. She's just like her mother, always stuffs four books in her pack despite the added weight.
Can't stop a reader from reading.🤓

I’ve been crushing hard on my friendly yard squirrel who has a fun relationship with my orange cat. I’ve named her Noisette — ‘hazelnut’ — and find her absolutely adorable.🐿️💕

More waxwings -- how many can you count? -- from their annual hour in my yard; they came in just after some rain and went to work on the privet tree.🪶✨

Waxwing party in my backyard!🪶
I love living in a flyway.

Hey, kid -- get off my lawn! 🦃🪶

Just kidding; you and your 19 mates are always welcome to roost in my redwoods overnight and pick at the grass in the morning.

I went to shoot birds, ended up catching this fast-moving deer instead; I dig the glowy lighting.🦌✨

When you spend all night, every night protecting two-dozen sheep, you’ve earned a lazy Saturday morning.🐾😵

A truly gorgeous day off with the sandhill cranes; their coordinated flight and loud communication—even in small sedges—is mesmerizing.🪶✨

Happy to come upon these juvenile wood duck siblings; but it seems as though there was a debate over which direction their parents went off to.

The neighborhood red-shouldered hawk stopped by the yard for a few; gorgeous fella on a gorgeous day.🪶

This great blue heron chose a nice vantage point atop this buoy; a confluence of a river, a slough and the deep water channel.🪶

A super clear (and cold) morning over Napa Valley; Berryessa Peak and the Blue Ridge mountains in the upper right, my trusty 60-year old Thermos in the lower left.☕

Thousands of sand hill cranes on the early-morning move in front of Mt. Diablo; the sound was so loud even this cow was like "wtf?"
