It's a sad #Caturday for us because we lost this guy to lymphoma this week. Binx, aka Sir Flappy Tummy, aka Mr. Wiggly Tail. As a kitten, he showed up on our back porch during a thunder storm and we took him in. May his spark find us again some day.

Ah, yes. This popped up in my reminders from back in the day when I occasionally made my own memes.

Big thunderstorm just passed over us and I caught a little of the light show.

Last week we drove through Duck Valley Reservation (Shoshone-Paiute Tribes) on the way to Las Vegas, when we noticed the roads were littered with the bodies of a large insect we later discovered were a plague of cannibalistic “Mormon Crickets,” (which are actually katydids).

Aw, so SAD! I've prepared an umbrella to show my utter lack of solidarity tomorrow at our local #NoKings protest.

Sharky being cute on #Caturday. 12 years old, but he'll always be my baby. Also: his tummy needs to be brushded.

Today by the Yakima River.
A photo of a brown river with trees and lush green vegetation along its banks. The sky is a gentle blue with a light dusting of wispy clouds. In the foreground, a grey-green, unfriendly looking bush, with the white puffball of a cheeky weed poking straight through its middle.

This chill little guy let me get close enough for a decent photo with my iphone. First time I've seen a lizard with a red belly in eastern Washington state. Not sure he's from around these parts...

Aw, I love you, too, strawberries.
The shot looks down on a white bowl filled with sliced strawberries. One slice rests on the blade of a knife with a black handle. In the center of the slice is a the pink against red outline of a heart formed by the lighter fibers at the core of the berry.

Today's late afternoon sun. Solar halo and lenticular clouds.
A photo of the sun with a giant, refractive halo around it, with cotton-swab clouds in odd shapes along the horizon.

Tonight's sunset.
Grey clouds stretching across the sky, except for along the horizon, where the setting sun peeks through and streaks the cloud cover with rays of bright orange.

Tonight's sunset.
Majestic sunset. The sun has disappeared behind a distant mountain, tinting the sky and painting the clouds with brilliant shades of orange.

Went to visit the grandkidlings, and my daughter surprised me with this beautiful shadow box with the pins from her (and her partner's) science fantasy universe book series, The Metacosm Chronicles. 😊
A black framed shadow box with six unique metal pins representing the characters from The Metacosm Chronicles book series.

One of my all-time favorite #Sunset photos, taken in November 2018 with my iPhone.
A sunset with bright orange clouds filling the entire sky. The clouds in the foreground have what looks like multiple lace-like "swiss cheese" holes.

My son and I started playing #GeoGuessr during the pandemic. What better way to travel during lockdown? 1000 days ago we committed to The Daily Challenge as a team. I can't even begin to tell you how much we've learned about the world playing this game.
A cartoonish GeoGuessr avatar with shoulder-length blonde hair, dressed in a witch's hat, round glasses, a red and purple striped shirt with a black denim jacket over it, and no pants or shoes, just black tightie-whities with blue trim. The avatar is holding an icon with a blue background and big golden lettering that proclaims: 1000 Days

On our hike today: a flock of Sandhill Cranes over the Yakima River.
