Mallards in dammed up part of Tecolote Creek near Trail, just north of Balboa Avenue "dip" between Genesee & Clairemont Drive. Parrots are back in complex🌳s!

#ClairemontApt : Rain all day, mild winds, lots of clouds = soaking rain. Low to mid 50's🌡️all day. Apt felt very cool🥶. Tomorrow mid to upper 50's, more rain, maybe more wind💨? @eyesonsdskies.bsky.social Hoping for upper 60's & part🌤️Sun Sunday for hike🥾. Maybe new 🌼🌸🌺🌱flowers. Peace🕊️& Love💕 ALL.

Here is a series of 🦋 Butterfly😘kisses, plus more of Trail hike #MtEtnaCanyonTrail & #NoTecoloteCynTrl... Sunday Feb.2,2025: many hikers, couples, cyclist, runners. First couple of notes Butterfly...wing moves Then chase, & along trails. Some critter habitat, Trees of beauty, and trail views See +

@eyesonsdskies.bsky.social #ClairemontApt wet sidewalks! But not puddling. Puffy clouds ☁️again today, but hope they don't get together again... unless they rain. Wonder if new sn❄️w🌨️ in Mountains🗻🏔️? We need snow for water in system later!!! Fill those reservoirs too. Animals & plants need also.

We need movement towards multi party system...not just bad & worse party plan. We need more choice, good choices, choice rank voting and better candidates from ALL walks of life, cultures, and 'colors'! Peace, Love and we can bring Hope. Joy could follow... Or same old, same old, and more craziness.

Went on new trail: Mesa College Natural Trail. Starts from NW driveway, past Garden then to underpass at Tecolote Canyon, also goes to drive around campus and into canyon South of campus. Beautiful sunset🌄🌅 About 1 hour to do whole trail, & back. Nice views w/ sayings & plant names along trail.

When did we become so interested in being delivery drivers, cabbies? When we begun using our own capital(cars/phones) for company to profit? Are there any Uber/Lyft/Amazon/doordash drivers unions? Should there be automatic tips to these drivers? Taxed or untaxed?? Thanks for input. Peace 🕊️

Merry Christmas all, We had Sun today at #ClairemontApt, but clouds now. 60's. WeatherApp suggests low 60's next 7 days. Only 1 or 2 days with chance of Sun. I could use a few more to encourage🚶🏼walking. Hope your New Year is bright and warm. Peace🕊️ & Joy to the World🌎🌍.

@eyesonsdskies.bsky.social #ClairemontApt on second night in row of dense FOG🌫️. Only see about 40'. So expect for flight delays/cancellations at San Diego Airports. We got into upper 60's, 🌞 Sun was warm. Enjoy the lengthening days of Sunshine. Peace🕊️ to you and yours.

Staff writer Charlie Warzel @cwarzel.bsky.social of Atlantic on Amanpour & Co. @amanpourcopbs.bsky.social via @pbsnews.bsky.social suggested that New U.S. Admin is looking to purchase 200,000 units of crypto (Bitcoin is at $100,000) per year! That is a 20 Trillion dollar investment annually. Crazy.

@eyesonsdskies.bsky.social Fog still causing problems: SD Airport suggests call about flights! 100+ delays & 21 cancellations by 10am per KPBS📻radio. Wishing you best of Holidays. Don't stress, but rest & enjoy slow times. Read something good, take a nap, or enjoy a snack slowly. Peace 🕊️ ✌🏼 & Joy

@eyesonsdskies.bsky.social Coolest morning in long time #ClairemontApt 51°, mostly Sunny🌤️. RealFeel®51° also. WeatherApp says high of 63° today. Coolest day of week. At least sunny. 6 mi. winds, 92% humidity. Stay warm, enjoy 🌞 and start a great weekend. Watch for coastal flooding low areas.

I'm trying to limit my Data📲use, carbon👣footprint, and electric⚡use so won't be here everyday...or on Bluesky for long times. With reports that electric energy use is up by quadruple annually and massive need for electricity by A1, EVs & BitCoin I feel we need to change activities. Peace🕊️

Be careful out there! Keep safe and cool if it heats up. Drink plenty of fluids...and know your limits. Peace 🕊️

#ClairemontApt did 🥾 hike in 80°🌞 #MtAlifanCynTrl √ to #MidTecoloteCynTrl ~ Very Dry trails, lots of dead gray & beige brush. Someone brought bike thru MtAlifan part🧐. Pretty THICK there! Pics: 1-Temp. 2-Lots of SD'bush'Snow. 3-Snow Ball stalks w/ SD'Snow'bush. 4-But still water in creek. 1/2

@meggyiley.bsky.social Nice smile, where is outside? Me SoCal. Do you like to hike? Walk?? Where? I like green parks, dirt paths, canyons, forests, mountains. Lakes nice to walk around too. Have done many road trips. Mostly Southwestern USA; CA,AZ,NV,NM,UT,CO some Midwest: WI,MN,IN,MI,OH Peace 🕊️🌈

6th year in a row I HAVEN'T shopped for Black Friday deals! Today no shopping, as to not puff up "Black Friday" sales. 3.4% increase in sales with similar inflation rate, and people waiting for deals not sign of good economy! We must buy, b/c we are not a grower/maker society. #SmallBizSaturday 😊

Repost if BlueSky is now your primary social media site.

My WeatherApp is weird...says high to be something...then lists higher temp w/o updating what daily high should be. But then it is regularly off. One thing I would like is if it had recent past Weather, like maybe last week. So I can compare this(current) week to last. @eyesonsdskies.bsky.social

@rehanwaxir.bsky.social Are these your photos/compositions? Just curious. I have bad phone camera, and real camera broke long ago. Thanks for sharing! 🕊️🌈🌎🗺️

@jennetscott07.bsky.social Ms.Scott thank you for liking my post. I noticed your country setting in your profile! What kind of Nature do you like? I like nature a lot because it seems to bring me closer to the creator, and I see lots of life & love in it. Peace 🕊️ to you,🐛🦋🐇🐿️🦎🐞🌳🍁🌲🌻🏞️🌄🎑🗻⛰️🚶🏼🥾🌦️🌈🌞🌝 Daniel

Did #MtAlifanCynTrl to & #MidTecoloteCynTrl Thursday. Alifan still browns & gray, stops of green. Prickly Pear Cacti Lime Yellow color, pears purple red. Tecolote very dry! Lots of leaves & acorns. I was slower, but not as sore. Temp ⬇️70's w/ full🌞,cool🌳shade & a few breezes. Glad waited 1 day:🥵.

Looked around. Trying to find footing. Hoping to find others...SoCal, hikers, nature lovers. Sorry not good phone camera. Have a great weekend! 😄
