A phone pic of an orange sunrise last week over and under a low marine layer. This was the day after dry lightning sparked fires over much of California. North Bay - San Francisco area.

These California native gray foxes are known to climb trees, and they can scale this fence in the yard with ease. But a few nights ago this one decided to hang out for a few minutes and enjoy the deck. I grabbed a bunch of photos on my phone through my back door. What a beauty. 💙

I enjoyed the belated obituary for Walasse Ting in the NYT, part of “a series about remarkable people whose deaths …went unreported in The Times”. I love the lightness and vibrant colors of his work.This poster has traveled with me for many years since I was a young student.💙

This handsome pair of California Quail foraged quietly nearby as I worked in the vegetable bed today. Peaceful and a needed break from it all. 💙

White-throated sparrow looking sharp today. These are uncommon here in the SF Bay Area but I usually have one or two hanging with the winter flock of Golden-crowneds and Juncos in the yard. Many (all?) have left already - maybe some are passing through.
