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.

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.

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.🐿️💕

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.

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