We don’t get a lot of reptiles in the Seattle area, so it was fun showing my kids this little guy in Oregon!

Was on the afternoon tour of the Puget Sound Express and saw the T137 pod catch two harbor porpoise, flipping one several feet in the air. Also saw a humpback - absolutely fantastic tour. Never expected to see that. These are just photos from my iPhone. Nice sunset too!

We lost Emma Thursday morning. She had a good, normal last day - played with a doggie friend, went for a walk, ate lots of treats and had plenty of snuggles. She passed peacefully and naturally, at 15 1/2 years old.
She was the best dog, and left a big hole. Hug your doggie for us.

Are there any folks in science journalism space in NY, or the US in general who would be interested in doing a story on the Paleontological Research Institution? They are one of the 10 largest fossil museums in the US and desperately need ~1-2million dollars by December to pay off their mortgage 🧪

Beautiful native plants, Henderson’s Checkermallow in foreground with fireweed blooming in background. Pearly Everlasting also but it’s not blooming yet.

I have this crow with a deformity that has taken residence in our yard. Despite its beak it seems to be in a bonded pair, preens, and feeds easily. I wonder what caused it?

I was taking a photo of ceanothus in bloom, and accidentally caught a mid-flight bumble ❤️

I don’t remember the Mt. St. Helen’s eruption 45 years ago today, since I was two weeks old. But I did find this bottle of Jim Bean in my local buy nothing group to commemorate it.
