I am married, retired and live in Northern California. I enjoy the outdoors, photography and birding. 📸 Are mine. I never use AI and only lightly edit.

Happy New Year everyone!
I haven't been posting photos due to technical difficulties. My computer went (mostly) kaput and I haven't replaced it yet.

Close up of a tiny Calliope Hummingbird. I very seldom see them at my feeders here in Chico.

Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. Sadly, his habitat where I took this photo burned in the Park Fire this year.

The bizarre Buddha's Hand Citron.
This is a single fruit and it has an incredible lemon scent. I will be making citron candy soon. 🍬

This isn't the sharpest of photos but sharing because this was the only time I've ever spotted a White-breasted Nuthatch perched on a utility wire. He looks quite confused about it too.

Black-chinned Hummingbird visiting my feeder. The male's purple band on his gorget is hard to capture-At least it is for me. 😂 📸

Remarkable view of #BombCyclone west of Oregon & Washington and associated #AtmosphericRiver west of California this PM. Fortunately, the strongest winds will remain well offshore, but very heavy rainfall is likely across portions of northern CA into weekend. #CAwx #ORwx #WAwx
