This is a small sea cave south of La Jolla shores, which is only accessible during winter negative tides. One still has to pay attention to the tides to not get trapped of course!

Don't step on that Sidewinder!

From a desert hike in April 2021. The temperatures were too cool for this Colorado Desert Sidewinder to care much about our presence.

"Baker Blues" for #MountainMonday

Photo from September 2022 when we met @mrussellphoto.bsky.social & Alan Majchrowicz for a hike. The blue haze was induced by relatively distant wildfires.

San Diego's new "water year" has begun on Oct 1st, and we're hoping for a wetter winter than the last one! Here's an old photo from 2011, after a particularly wet winter.

For #FlowerFriday here are some Purple Chinese Houses (Collinsia heterophyllia), photographed in spring. I particularly like how the color pattern repeats in the out of focus areas behind the flower. :)
