Possibly a Say’s Phoebe

A small bird with a narrow beak, yellowish-brownish front and black head, surrounded by bare twigs and branches with a hint of blue sky behind it.

Possibly a Say’s Phoebe. I had such a hard time getting the camera to focus on the bird and not all the branches around it!

This beetle landed on my car window as I was about to start, then climbed onto the top of the car. I had to look. (Too bad I don’t drive a VW Beetle.)

A very round, orange-red insect with antennae.

Spot the #lizard!

A whole bunch of wood chips on the ground. There is a light brown lizard blending in with them.

Spot the #lizard!

(Seriously, I couldn’t tell if it was in frame at the time I took the photo.)

Backlit Skeleton

A giant skeleton seen from below, towering over a wall, with the sun directly behind it, all filtered to sepia.

Backlit Skeleton. Seen while walking around a few weeks ago. They kept adding more stuff to the yard as #Halloween approached.

A walk through a seasonal marsh that’s out of season. (We’ll see how much rain we get this winter.) And a virtual hiking buddy.

A small yellow and green butterfly perched next to a cluster of tiny white flowers.

Wild sunflowers in front of a brown field with trees in the distance.

A dirt path winding its way through dry brush.

A wooden footbridge with trees behind it. At the far end of the bridge is a computer-generated image of a Pokemon.

I’m melting! oh, what a world!

An old tetherball, still hanging from a pole, it's surface darkened and stretched and falling apart with some parts that look shiny as if they're seeping some kind of liquid.

I’m melting! oh, what a world! #summer #hot

“Oh…um…hi there…”

A squirrel, stopped on top of a low wall, dirt on its whiskers, looking straight at the camera.

I’m not used to seeing wild rabbits relaxing

A light brown rabbit lying stretched out next to a light brown tree stump on the light brown dirt, its head up and looking off to the left of the frame.

I’m not used to seeing wild #rabbits *relaxing*. I guess I stayed far enough away that it decided I wasn’t a threat.

A mockingbird I caught just after it took off. Or is it a mockingbirb?

A small gray bird against a lighter gray sky, its wings pointing downward so it looks like it's hovering.

Or is it a mockingbirb?

Butterfly-friendly native CA plants purchased from a local conservation group have collected a caterpillar! Looks like a Sphynx moth. Now I just need to finish transplanting the rest of the plants into the actual ground! #nature #plants #butterflies #moths #garden #caterpillar

And in related news, this confirms that @pixelfed now supports image uploads from @Tusky !

(That’s been the one thing missing from just using the Pixelfed website on my phone: it works great in a browser or as an installed PWA, but uploads can only start in the website. You can’t start with a photo gallery and share images to the site or PWA.)
