Semi-retired forester, nature lover, cat dude, Democrat. Live in Georgia, spend summers in Pacific Northwest.

All pics are my own. I'm not a pro; I just like to share what I've seen.

No DMs, unless we know each other, or it's related to one of my posts.
For #caturday, a very relaxed Narvik. May your day be as easy as his!

A close up view of a hickory tree in Georgia. One spot of lichen has taken up residence on the bark.

From last January, Narvik sees snow for the first time. At first he didn't know what to think of it. After a couple of retreats from the outdoors, he decided that the new world was worth exploring.

While riding my bike last week, I was pleasantly surprised to see this cat poster at a bus stop in Macon, Georgia. Artwork is by James Freeman.

How did I welcome the new year? With my cat, of course. In this picture he seems less than impressed.

Interesting pattern on this dead pine tree. Fungi are growing in the cracks of the bark. Location is near Roswell, Georgia.

My bike had a flat tire this week. I fixed it indoors because it was cold outside. Narvik supervised my work.

Narvik has a porch with a view. He can survey much of his kingdom from there.

By itself, this grasshopper would not be all that interesting. I like all the different layers of color around him.

If you ever wonder what is inside a rough-looking tree branch, here is a good example. The tree is in a busy area of a park, and the arborists removed two of the lower branches.

Narvik has been enjoying the warm weather here. Today is the last warm day for a while.

File this under "things you see when you take the back roads." I had to wait for this truck carrying part of a wind turbine, in western Kansas. June 2023.

Narvik would have jumped out of there if I had turned on the water (but I don't tease my cat like that).

This picture is a companion to the one I posted yesterday. Taken on the shores of Payette Lake in McCall, Idaho after an early snowfall in October 2012.

Here in Georgia, the high temperature will be in the 70s. For something more Christmas-y, I'll post a picture from Payette Lake in McCall, Idaho. Good day for a picnic!

For #WaterfallWednesday, I reach into my film files from 1990. Latourell Falls in the Columbia River Gorge, east of Portland.

Narvik is gripping the board as if he's afraid of falling off. But he's a cat. He isn't going to fall.
