One moment you’re a honeybee happily flying along, the next a spider catches you and wraps you up and before it can finish, flies start landing on you. Not your day.

Happy Halloween from my back yard, I guess.

There are a lot of WW2 alternate scenarios that would be beneficial to Germany that can be regularly discounted by the line "They could do this, but they wouldn't because they were Nazis."

He supported America’s war, escaped Afghanistan and started a family in the U.S.

Then ICE arrested him.

If he is deported, he expects the Taliban to kill him.
America saved him from the Taliban. Trump wants to send him back.

Nothing remotely resembling an insurrection is happening anywhere in the country. Any violence associated with protest has been isolated, mild, and, in nearly every case, instigated by federal law enforcement. If we let Trump get away with calling dissent an insurrection, our republic is over.

My pelican and northern shoveler pictures today up by the bay today were unexciting. But the ravens were willing to pose. Something about them always wants me to go black and white.

I’m rehabbing some neglected Nepenthes. They had been under watered, light starved, pit in a terrarium that molded up and then put in clay pots. I did burn the leaves with leds too close, but they seem to be doing better. At least getting good pitchers.

Two weeks ago I heard two great horned owls hooting at each other around 4AM. I went out and listened and could tell they were in two trees down the street. Went out the next day to see if they were roosting there. No owls…

Only caught the tail end on my phone, but something just reentered over the Bay Area. Caught from Sunnyvale, looking northeast.

One of the first bird pictures I was really happy with. A cedar waxing going for holly berries. Love the translucent wing detail.

Could you imagine the response if a democratic president said they didn’t know if they had to uphold the Constitution?

How fast would the articles of impeachment be drawn ?

Seemed to be courtship between these Brandt's cormorants. The "whiskers" are wild.

Meyers-Briggs is beloved by bad management and bad HR because it allows lazy sorting of people and then using that to dismiss opinions and complaints. A Star Wars themed Meyers-Briggs that classifies some as Sith, is just dropping the mask.

Every time I go to some state park where there are signs that say “no dogs, protected wildlife”, there are dog owners walking past the signs with their dogs.

Dogs are the best.

Dog owners are the worst.

Belted kingfisher and a crayfish. This looked like the crayfish was deciding to walk away.
