I like to hike in beautiful places and to grow things. Dad and loving husband. Just here to share and enjoy others’ art and thoughts. None of my original photos were generated through AI. Not interested in thirst bots.

I’ve mentioned before how much I enjoy my bike commute when I do it. Today was one of those mornings. Crispy, clear fall #sunrise #photography
I posted this yesterday, but this one fits the bill on a number of levels. #MacroMonday #ColorADay #BlueSkyMonday

Not sure if this fits the bill for #MacroMonday but it’s an unusual perspective and I love #newts

Just a neat danger noodle from my hike yesterday. iNaturalist says it’s a Coast Garter Snake, which makes sense since I was very close to the coast at the time. #snek #herps

I saw a bunch of Echo Azure butterflies. If you zoom in you can see their cute faces with big black eyes. The tops of their wings (the part that isn’t visible when their wings are closed) is a beautiful light blue. #insects #butterflies

If today was a hard day, or you’re just feeling a little down, here’s a flower for you! #BloomScrolling

Trying desperately to scroll through BlueSky for eye bleach, but mostly feel sick to my stomach about the trajectory of my country.

Another angle of the Western Bluebird. They’re such beautiful #birds!

I guess my shutter click was not subtle enough for this Western Bluebird. #birds

I was blown away by all the Pacific Hound’s Tongue wildflowers today. I know these and Milkmaids bloom early, but January seems way too soon. Maybe I’m misremembering when wildflower season starts, but apparently it’s already begun. #bloomscrolling

A magical experience hiking Jack London State Park today. I started in dense fog, then suddenly emerged into a bright sunny day with blue skies above the fog. Then I got to hike back down into the fog. #hiking

My pastry run got me up early enough to see a beautiful sunrise this morning, and the sky put on another beautiful display this evening. A lesson to hold onto the small joys of life when they come. #sunsets
