So: Wrote down the first step of the Visible Mending project for the hole in the back of my jeans. Meanwhile, someone got comfortable on said jeans. 😅 #ImpassAtStepOne

Went out first thing (still sleepy and slow) to refill the wildlife water bowls, 'cause it looked like we'd had some serious slurpers overnight. Shuffle back inside, wash my hands, turn back toward the french doors, and see TWO FAWNS drinking from the water bowls.🥹😭😍 #MorningMade

1. I self diagnosed 2 days ago with piriformis syndrome. (seeing my doc in Oct). I think it's right 'cause I thought 3 things I was experiencing were unrelated. PS explains everything.😅 2. Found recommended PT fm reputable source: 2 stretches, 5 exercises. 3. Started the very 1st stretch & ....

Just look at this face #herps 🌿

Just yesterday=doing outdoor home repair when I noticed a tiny blood smear on my shirt. So, got to use my Science Laundry trick that I learned fm a labmate in undergrad. Make SALTY water, put blood stained fabric in it & gently dislodge the WHOLE blood cells ('cause not lysed by hypotonic h2o). 🥳👍

I like to try and get obnoxiously scenic backgrounds for plant ID shots. Think I succeeded with this one.😊 Woods' rose (Rosa woodsii). 🏞️

It’s a Wilson’s warbler kinda weekend Holy migration season everyone! Good luck birding next week! 📷🌿🪶

Twins 😎

Found this old nest in a tiny parking lot in Yosemite Valley, which is surrounded by huge oak trees.😍 Hopefully it has a successful history of raising baby birds. 🐣🐣🐣 🐥🐥🐥 🐦🐦🐦 💖💖💖

Our credit card was stolen, recently, so we were reviewing charges w/the bank. As we lived our life in CA, someone bought food at Taco Bueno in TX.🧐🥸 Weirdly, I felt a TINY bit comforted, 'cause I had at least HEARD of this restaurant, thanks to @datedateline.bsky.social, in this episode. 😅

<is glad she stopped and listened for a moment before yelling upstairs to her husband... soft snores have begun drifting down the stairs> #Saturday

A very unusual stretch of September weather will continue across California into next week. On Sunday, a weak stream of tropical moisture may drop some showers in far SoCal (near San Diego). But a more impressive/widespread thunderstorm outbreak will be possible Tuesday... #CAwx

On his way to go spook some shorebirds

There were 2 weeks in early May when Bluebirds were investigating the feeders, then went back to the woods. I'm not sure what he was talking about but maybe it helped to share it with the neighborhood. 🪶

Interior restricts BLM land acquisitions. The order limits the scope of public land acquisitions by the BLM, sidelining the agency from using LWCF money unless it provides public access to an otherwise inaccessible parcel. www.themeateater.com/conservation...

Hence a KEY step to increasing biodiversity in your garden is to BE LAZY. Leave dead plants standing. They can provide cozy beds for tiny creatures!!🥹🥰

This is a WONDERFUL thread, and is this probably where I should admit i have a little bit of a crush on Ötzi.🥰 And I seem to recall some researchers think he was TRYING to escape murderous pursuers. I DO love an underdog.🥹🥰💔💘 #ÖtziForever ht @beebrookshire.bsky.social

My husband just arrived home, and said "Petrichor!!" 😅 It's JUST starting to rain. It smells AMAZING.😻 🌧️☁️🌧️🌧️☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️🌧️🌧️

I love birdwatchers. "Go to a certain leaky air conditioning pipe. There you will find a tiny, exquisitely beautiful honeyeater." It's totally here.

Love that I now know where in S.F. my left airpod earbud is, thanks to modern technology. SUPER cool.👍 Unfortunately, I am now back home, hundreds of miles away. 😅

If you MUST cruise around when your S.O. works a half day, there are worse places to do it.😍🥰🤩 #Yosemite #YosemiteValley #MercedRiver

Recently visited the Presidio, including the beautiful and peaceful San Francisco National Cemetery. ❤️❤️❤️

Robert Redford combined a celebrated career in film with decades of environmental advocacy. When he died on September 16th, aged 89, he left behind not only films that defined American cinema but also institutions and movements that changed how Americans thought about land, water, and climate.

Here is your Wednesday Wasp. I think she's an Ichneumonid, but that narrows it down about as much as describing a grain of sand on the beach as small and tan. She was searching the face of a rock wall near a waterfall in Montana. A little less than half an inch long. 🐙🌿

Again, I adore this time of year when we get an entire ecosystem created in the goldenrod and my favorite insects stop by!! This is the yellow collared Scape Moth which is so goth, but isn’t afraid to flash a little color! #invertes #insects

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A small human (6?) is sitting in her driveway, carefully selecting different coloured chalks out of a sparkly unicorn pencil case. She's got spectacular drawings to make. But which colour should she start with? Hmm. Blue? That seems about right. (1)

Delighted by this diverse pile o' pumpkins.😍

"Who, me?"

Ok I’m obsessed with this wasp, but I have no idea what it is and neither does INat. I submitted to bug guide but haven’t heard anything yet. #insects #wasps
