“C’mon, I’m trying to be serious here!”
Probably #Steinbeck would have said it a bit more elegantly, but I’m sure he would have thought it.

Wait, *is* that a trail?
Wait, *is* that a trail? There are a lot of branching trails in #HahnPark, and I took one that was steeper than the others because I wanted to make sure I had as much time as possible on top of the ridge before sunset. But after a while I started to wonder. By the time I got here, footing was tricky, and there was one point where I needed to use a hand to brace myself.
It wasn't a problem going uphill in daylight, but when I came back down after sunset, I made sure to take the shallower switchback trails instead!

Hahn Park features picnic areas, camping areas, playgrounds, a semi-wild area with hiking trails, and a Japanese-themed garden with koi pond and bridges.

Kid’s homemade Halloween costume: a Minecraft spider jockey…
Kid's homemade #Halloween costume: a #Minecraft spider jockey. His mom did the construction, I helped a bit with the painting, and he's still able to fit in the harness, so he's planning to take it out again this year. Building the thing was a lot of work, but he's getting a lot of use out it.
Um, I’ll be sure to keep that in mind… 😬 #Beedril
Fox Squirrel (vs. dog)
I saw this squirrel climb down a tree in a city park and start running across the ground. As I was getting my camera out, a dog spotted it, got away from its owner, ran after the squirrel and pounced. The squirrel jumped up onto this tree just in time and scurried up. The dog's owner called it back. And then the squirrel slowly climbed back down to this point (still higher than the dog's jump, just in case it came back) and paused to look around to make sure it was safe again.
Yep. a tumbleweed (sorry, a Russian Thistle) bigger than my car.

Mitred Parakeets: I stopped to grab coffee and heard the parakeets squawking in the trees.
Mitred Parakeets:
I stopped to grab coffee and heard the parakeets squawking in the trees. These were the first two I spotted, and they stayed together like that for the whole time I was there.
Not what they usually mean by a public toilet.
The squirrel turned around and planted itself firmly, staring at me as if ready to defend its hoard.
I saw this squirrel running across the grass, then got my camera out and caught the first photo as it ran up the side of a tree and paused, looking at me as if assessing whether I was a threat or not. Then it ran the rest of the way up to look at a gap in the tree, perhaps assuring itself that its stash was still where it had left it. I walked around to see that there was a hollow between the two major branches, and the squirrel turned around and planted itself firmly, staring at me as if ready to defend its hoard.
My photos taken, I walked away.
Guardian of the Woods
I could just imagine the squirrel proclaiming, “Turn back, traveller, and do not cross the shadow of these woods! Turn back now, while you still can!”
Does anyone know whether the PlantsVsZombies sunflower was inspired by the Sunflora Pokemon?

Thanks!
iNat users suggest it’s an Allen’s Hummingbird.

Not sure how I can tell time with it under these circumstances…

OK, the guy with the camera probably doesn’t expect me to go *back* to the tree, so maybe I can make my escape… #squirrel

I spotted this Black Phoebe just as I spun a Team Rocket-occupied stop
We were out for the monthly #PokemonGo Community Day, and I spotted this #BlackPhoebe just as I spun a Team Rocket-occupied stop. Somehow I managed to get a decent photo of it while battling Team Rocket.
