Photoshop keeps crashing on me. No surprise. Going to uninstall and reinstall again and hope for the best. SIGH.

Look at these little guys! Only a couple inches of cuteness is the horned lizard, or horny toad! (Phrynosoma platyrhinos calidiarum)

Hey fellow Californians. Remember to call our reps to oppose the sale of the millions of acres public land this administration is stealing from us and future generations.

Call their local and DC offices. Write. Leave messages. Be annoying. Advocate for our wilderness.

Watched 'Sinners' last night with my partner and friend. Almost missed it in the theater but glad I didn't. Damn, it was so good. I haven't been this happy with a film in a long while.

If you have the chance, go see it. It deserves more eyeballs.

This is a very dumb art I made for myself, partner, and our friend Nikaleles. Our characters dressed as this trio according to who they fit best.
I'll get to coloring it when I find the time.

I was tired today, but a little hike with my partner really rejuvenated me. Took lots of photos in the perfect weather. They will be great refs for the ongoing project with Transition Habitat.

Here is a small sample of what we found today.

Did the meme. Took the personality quiz and posted the first 4 I recognized.

Don't know what this says about me, but Geordi and I can be bffs.

Yesterday was not the best. Many things went wrong, not much went right. Lost time for one of my hobbies I was getting back into. Im optimistic though and looking forward to drawing some art today. Maybe do a bike ride for fun. Then, possibly watch Star Trek. Hopefully, Star Trek. Trek is good...

More insect art incomming. It's a bug kind of week.

Do you have a favorite insect? Beetle, bug, spider?

I like tarantulas. Not sure if they are my favorite, but they are neat little doods.

Poppy time approaches.
And, for #nearbynature2025

the CA Poppy does not produce nectar, instead they bees and beetles they attract in numbers are feeding on delicious nutritious pollen.
You can actually snack on the flowers too.
