#TBT to this delightfully bizarre usage of both lighting and a blowfish, as seen at Frankie's Tiki Room.
A blowfish is suspended from the ceiling in a dark tiki bar. The only light comes from within his spiny, dried out skin.

Clouds rolling down the mountains. Four and a half years later, the beauty of this place still leaves me breathless sometimes.

Clouds roll over the top of distant mountains. In the foreground, sandy hills and a lone, leafless tree.

I'd say the first #PokemonGo Community Day of 2026 was a success!

Also, I'm always looking for new friends. My code is in the second photo.

Happy #Caturday! Crappy times require cats!

Here's the best pictures of my kitty trio this past week. Maybe we'll make it a tradition.
Bastet rests on two plush blankets,secure in the knowledge she is a Goddess. Scully provides medicinal cuddles to get Daddy through Monday morning. Loki contemplates...something. Hard to tell what's between those ears.

I have never seen a pigeon this color before! He was nice enough to let me get this picture. I love these little guys!

We might not see the aurora borelias in Vegas, but on a rainy, cloudy night we do see the lights of the Sphere in the sky.
Red, green, and white lights reflect in the clouds above a rainy street.

That feeling when your human keeps getting up at 5am for work and you have to supervise but you'd rather still be in bed.

One more early morning after this one, kiddo. We've got this!
A gray and white fluffy cat has his head on the desk, looking distraught at the cruelty of fate: his person having to be at work at 5am.

When you wanna sleep but your human has to be to work before the birds start chirping and you gotta supervise him.
A large, floofy, gray and white cat dramatically poses in a flop, paw up, with a look of annoyance in his eyes that he has to supervise his human at work before the sun is even up.

Before moving to Las Vegas, I thought pigeons were just flying rats. Turns out, I was right: they're funny, friendly when treated right, and come in a beautiful variety of patterns and colors.

What horrors has Mr. Elephant seen? We shall never know.
An elephant figure sits on a thrift store shelf. It's eyes are almost totally white with only the tiniest black dots for pupils. What horrors it has witnessed, we shall never know.

Even the pigeons are not amused by this ten day stretch of wet, cold weather.
Two pigeons sit on a curb, huddled in a ray of sunshine in front of a palm tree wondering why it's cold and wet in Las Vegas.
