This is Charlie Halftail. He's a #cat

Hey! Look at this moth! Okay, carry on.

Josephine says hi!

I met a wild turkey.

I saw some deer!

The beginning of the John Muir trail along the Hiwassee River, south-east Tennessee.

Charlie is asleep on my lap. I am trapped. Someone bring me a beer.

Want to go hiking but you're afraid of being eaten by coyotes? Fret not! I am here to help. youtu.be/QKoW3yEDAZY?...

This trail was beautiful, cold, rainy and lonely. My kind of trail.

I hiked one of my favorite trails. It says the road is closed, but that's more of a suggestion.

I hope this little guy tells the others about the free pizza at my place.

Jack has short and stubby corgi legs. He has trouble jumping up on the couch. So we got a little one just for him.

I think Josie is fully grown now.

Here's a painting I did around that time based on a photo by @mehoward.bsky.social

Almost glowing, these yellow-stemmed Mycenas. #fungifriends

This is Josie. And this is her chair.

This is Festus the cat. You and he have just agreed to be business partners. He's asking you to shake on it.

Her name is Bonnie

Her name is Cannoli and she’s a cardigan corgi 💖

His name is Jack. He's a dog. #corgi

Baby moo cow.

Want to go caving but you're afraid of the dark? Fret not! That's where I come in. I hit another cave and here is the result! youtu.be/Cr3_XDfQglw?...

Anyone ever had their paracord stolen by a pair of coyotes? No? Just me then. youtube.com/shorts/SXkPJ...

Cave kitty?

I had taken a bit of a break from sharing from my wanderings, but that's over. I'm thinking I'm back. I plan to go caving, hiking and kayaking, show you what I find. Photos will go here, videos on my channel. We're gonna see some stuff, you and I. youtube.com/@MEHoward

I met a huge pinchy boy in a cave.

I met a friend in the cave. Her name is Sally Mander.

We explored this cave pretty thoroughly and I'll share the video after a bit of editing, but for now here's another blind albino cave crawfish. youtube.com/shorts/zfTAK...

I met a blind albino cave crawfish today.

I'm going caving again tomorrow, this time in north Alabama. I will share the video once I return to the surface.
