In the Fraser river valley near Harrison BC 🇨🇦with a beautiful varied thrush (bald eagle in the trees above) what a beautiful bird! Christmas Day 25 Dec 2025 ✨🎄✨

A couple views of La Luna on Christmas. Half an hour after sunset. 1- exposure for crater details give a dark sky, now 32% illuminated 2- overexposure to reveal a few wispy clouds near the moon. A blown out crescent and a barely visible disk in shadow in a dark blue sky. Seen from San Diego

A visit this afternoon by one of the yard bunnies 🐰 It also looks pretty nice after the rainy day yesterday. Good job bun! #mammals Desert cottontail rabbit

Too many clouds the last few days but clear sky now. I think the #moon will look better tonight (if clouds stay away) but for now a late afternoon Bluesky shot. 31% illuminated waxing crescent seen over San Diego 🌙 Full moon next year.

A reminder that if you want to help people in Gaza today or any day, there are organizations that have been on the ground for years and we know are legit: Palestinian Children's Relief Fund Palestine Red Crescent HEAL Palestine Anera Middle East Children's Alliance World Central Kitchen

Sandhill crane flying across a Wisconsin farm field. I'll bet the cranes never forget their migration journeys.... and neither will I. It was a great time spotting and photographing them in the farm fields this year. #birds #SandhillCranes

#ArtAdventCalendar Dec. 22 We never thought we’d get to see them living in their own home. But on a recent trip to Kruger Park, South Africa, we were fortunate to see a scene I’ll never forget. The Matriarch appeared out of the bush and slowly led her small elephant herd across the river. #Mammals

Happy Solstice! Here's to all your health & brighter days ahead!

Spotted towhee is one handsome sparrow 😍 Now through Spring, the couple we have here get a little more bold and show themselves almost regularly 😳 I think this one has figured out that when Black phoebe shows up, there might be an extra mealworm or two available 😁🪶 SoCal Happy winter solstice!

Random tracks in the backyard sand this morning. 1- Bird - probably CA towhee 🤷‍♂️ Mammal - probably squirrel 2- Something dragging a tail - lizard? Foot prints are not obvious. Suggestions welcome 😄

Happy Winter Solstice! Beer can, pinhole camera photos of the Summer to Winter Solstice (2024) and the Winter to Summer Solstice (2025). You never know quite what you're going to get with these photos, set the beer can pointing towards the sun at hopefully the correct angle and wait 6 months!

Lol, she thinks I can't see her. 🪶

🎶Tho’ rain may fall in the evening, And rain may fall in the night When the robin sings in the morning, I know the sun is bright. I keep still, hear him, Singin’ up in a tree, For the little angel of gladness, Brings happiness to me.🎶 Red, Red, Robin - Harry Woods, 1926 #birds #becurious 🪶
