It's been a minute since I posted an #eveningkitten

Here Theory is getting ready to go exploring, Calvin & Hobbes style!

Oh GOSH where to start?
Biking through Golden Gate Park with my family
50+ mile single track ride with mom for my 38th birthday
Riding to Sunriver from Bend on trails
Taking hidden paths and canal trails for my work commutes
3 bicyclists riding along JFK promenade in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco CA A trail leads away into a conifer forest. In the distance is a woman riding a mountain bike away from the viewer. Looking over a calm turquoise river from a cliff with shrubby penstemon and pine trees in the distance. A gravel path beside a swiftly flower canal, lined with pine trees.

I keep a near-daily sketch diary (which CSA members get to see!) and this year I did blue horse (nearly) every Saturday. Here's some of my favorites from 2025:

A single mature ponderosa stands tall overlooking a cluster of smaller trees. Behind it the lands falls away with distant blue-green forested mountains and a snow covered volcano. The sky is winter blue with fluffy white clouds. Looking NE from Shooting Star Shelter toward Broken Top, Deschutes Natnl Forest, OR.

Ahem my note to the OTC is in the alt text for this fun pic of Bend, taking from the NE side of Awbrey Butte looking east toward St Charles and Pilot Butte.
To Oregon Transportation Commission: I live in Bend, OR, on the harsher side of the mountains from the Rose Quarter, where potholes and damage from extreme weather are a regular occurrence. I rely on ODOT to keep roads clear and traversable so that critical supplies and reach the heart of Oregon. Myself and Oregonians across the state are poised to suffer from the critical collapse of funding for ODOT. We are also as a species already suffering the effects of the climate crisis brought on by our burning of fossil fuels, which the expansion of the RQ freeway will only exacerbate. For these and similar reasons I strongly encourage the OTC to select Option 3: stop spending on a self-damaging freeway expansion and fund the vital services that keep the entire state functional and safe. Thank you for your time and service.

In true sustainable fashion I decorate my dwarf citron every year for Christmas. The ornaments all represent special friends/times/family. 🥰

We use this board as a place to list tasks for lifeguards to do between pools, but no one checks it so I've been having some fun.

I have more things to be grateful for than can fit in or are appropriate for a skeet. So let's just stick with the basics: trees and bikes.

Also modern plumbing (not pictured).
Sparse pine forest backlit by a winter sun. There is a mountain bike in the lower right corner.

The lengths I go to avoid cars on my commute can take me to some pretty neat places!

Bend, OR

Vista of high desert forest over a river canyon with volcanos in the distance. Looking down a rough and tumble road/cliff toward a residential street and a city covered in pine trees. There are volcanic buttes on the distant horizon and a splash of sun glare in the upper right corner.

However, given that one of my first art models was a yellow-napped Amazon parrot, I was more than ready for the challenge!

Drawing of a green parrot with a yellow stripe down its forehead. It is the artist's mother's pet yellow-napped Amazon, Sophie, who actually has yellow on their forehead, not the nape of their neck!

Periodically I like to spice up the schedule board at the pool where I work part time. We use these Crayola window markers and this morning both the blue and red were missing so I was left with a particular challenge:

This is a real place. Keep that in your mind.

A wide and lazy turquoise river meanders between tall ponderosa pines. The sun is shining the sky is blue and there are creamy white clouds down by the horizon. A sunny manzanita bush sits in the foreground.

POV: you rode the wrong bike on what turned out to be a snow ride but you still had a good time

Deschutes Natnl Forest, Tumalo Ridge trail
A breathtaking vista of pine forest and distant volcanos, covered in snow and clouds. A snow-covered trail leads away into the distance. View of a snow-covered trail running down a ridge, flanked by green shrubby manzanitas and overshadowed by sun-soaked pine trees. The sky beyond it cloudy with a patch of blue. Looking up to the ridge and three mature ponderosa pine tree trunks. Behind the middle one is a nimble little mountain bike.

Which I needed that lunch because getting home I had rather a lot of produce to shuck out of its dirt. (2 boxes of beets still waiting in the garage.)

The gleaning is free, but if you spend actual money they will serve you food made from stuff they grew. I got to enjoy pumpkin soup and carrot cake while I drew the best cauliflower ever.
