There was an abundance of gnarled and stunted juniper trees, growing on what appeared to be solid rock, on the mesa at the top of Canyon de Chelly.
Like a forest of large bonsai trees!

A view across Shaffer Canyon from the top of Island in the Sky.
You can see a small stretch of the cliff-hugging, but scenic and very fun to drive Shaffer Trail.

I had just rigged this plastic cover over the jelly feeder to keep the rain out of the bowl.
As soon as I walked away, this female Oriole swooped in and looked back at me to see if I was done messing with her food 😂🙏!

Looking down into Canyon de Chelly is like looking back in time.
The canyon is inhabited for close to 5000 years, first by the Pueblo people, followed by Hopi and currently by Navajo.
We were struck by how welcoming and friendly the local Navajo people were 🤗🙏!

Good night Y’all, after surviving the first weekend of 2026!
I had high hopes for improvement this year…
But it already looks like it’s going to be a sh*t show, just like last year.
We need a blue wave, the sooner the better!

The Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego had lavish decorations and a Wizard of Oz themed yellow brick road and light show.
It was all free, and I can’t remember ever seeing more children so enchanted by something 😍🙏!

It was surreal watching this thin cloud cover fan out above our heads and turning shades of red, purple and orange!
All from the comfort of my beach chair while sipping a glass of Austrian Veltliner wine.
All evenings should be that good!

Wishing all of my wonderful BlueSky friends a Happy New Year!
My hope is that 2026 will at least bring a little bit of sanity and accountability back to our country 🙏!
Also, I can’t remember seeing this many rainy days in a row in the SoCal weather forecast 😂!

We were at the right place at a perfect moment… the clouds looked promising!
And then they delivered a classic, pre-storm SoCal sunset!
The land in the lower right is Point Loma, a San Diego neighborhood.
