Fuchsias this morning

Internet down most of the day. What is a boy to do? 😁 made minestrone. Was a good choice

Female elephant seal I saw today. Her newborn pup is the “small” black animal next to her. These pups are about 75 pounds at birth. The sand flipping is to cool off

True ! Its smaller relative, the Northern Elephant seal, is still enormous, and can be seen now at several rookeries in CA. I took this photo last week at Año Nuevo state park.

San Francisco is a media target due to its “out of control crime”. Well, here is the 2024 data. Lowest murder rate in 60 years. Attributable to gun violence prevention strategies, including legislation and community violence prevention efforts. Do not believe the BS from those who are uninformed

Camellia season in the Bay Area

Sandy Hook Elementary school murders. Twelfth Anniversary. Gun lobby sycophants prevented the obvious need for new laws to protect children and all Americans. It makes me sick

Northern elephant seal sleeping today at state park. When foraging in the deep ocean, there is no sunlight. Scientists have shown that 20% of their prey are bioluminescent fish. The remaining 80 % are found by these incredible whiskers.

Often see members of the SFO Wag Brigade while volunteering. If confirmed, TSA will be headed by Kristi Noem. We need to warn these wonderful critters.

Fairly new here. Cat photos appreciated? Rose and Karl

Steam cleaning tips and other nonsense. Will use Threads for more serious topics, if I ever get back to those.
