In honor of Veterans Day, I made my submariner husband a classic dish from his days in the Navy: Shit on a Shingle. I don't know that he's ever been happier with one of my meals.

The Northern Black-throated Trogon, captured on my iPhone through a scope: #least represented in my photo files but not least in thrilling sightings.

You can't be a hellhole AND a community that looks forward to and celebrates so completely its annual book festival -- the two are mutually exclusive.

Neither snow nor rain nor gloom of night -- well, okay, maybe gloom of night -- will keep this scrub jay from enjoying #lunchtime.

We paid a bit extra for a personal tour of the Roman Forum with this hooded crow, who really knew his history. He's seen a thing or two.
