Monday moment of zen: Photos from last Saturday's hike to Trail Canyon Falls, just a 30 min drive from Pasadena.
There were not many people out during the late afternoon on that drizzly day, and we ended up having the falls all to ourselves. Pure magic.

Really proud of this.
Amazing detective work lead by the brilliant Ben Tutolo, made possible by the entire Curiosity Mars Rover team.

My friends Topher & Elena Amador-French (+MSL's Sci Operations Team Chief), lost their home in the Eaton Fire. They had minutes warning. If you’re looking for ways to help, direct donations are going a long way right now. Venmo: account.venmo.com/u/elena-amador, Zelle: frenchcg [at] gmail [dot] com

Hello friends on Bluesky, I'm so happy to find you! For my first post, here's a picture of a blue(ish) sky I took last night, featuring Earth's beautiful Moon and the city I love.
