I spotted a bluebird this Valentine’s Day morning. Seems appropriate.

Spotted in a tree at a city park. As I was trying to aim my camera, it flew down and landed on top of a birdhouse nearby, making it easier to see.

Sad Trelawney. ☹️

Sad #Trelawney. ☹️ There wasn’t much in the way of #HarryPotter-ish settings at @longbeachcomiccon, so we improvised. The idea was to imagine #ProfessorTrelawney, just sacked from Hogwarts, sitting in a train station or someplace, completely lost and unsure of what to do.

Apparently there were several other #HarryPotter / #Batman villains #mashup costumes, including Joker/Voldemort & Harley Quinn/Bellatrix LeStrange, but I didn’t see them.

Wild plant at the top of the hill, ocean at the bottom. The fence marks the edge of Del Cerro Park and the start of a steep, unstable slope down to the Portuguese Bend area of the coast near Los Angeles. On a clear day, Catalina would be visible off to the left, but on this day, the ocean blended seamlessly into an obscuring haze.

I saw a lot of #butterflies at #MadronaMarsh over the weekend, including some pale yellow ones and some black ones and even a few monarchs, plus a lot of these white and orange ones. #iNaturalist narrows them down to the Pontia & Hylephila genuses (geni?). #nature

According to biophilic1 on iNaturalist, these are a Checkered White and a Fiery Skipper.

Wild radish flowers found between the road and a flood control basin. I’ve started posting wildlife and plant observations to iNaturalist, which is how I found out what this plant is.

Fly away!

Fly away! This crane was standing on the road around, swaying back and forth and looking upward like it was dancing or something, until it finally decided to fly off

Flashback: A tropical stream in Hawaii

Flashback: A in, somewhere along the trail to the 420-ft Akaka Falls on the Big Island. I’ve been digging out the originals of photos I posted in low resolution back in the day. This seemed like a good one for #🌎

A deserted Parisian street on a gloomy November day, years ago.

A deserted Parisian street on a gloomy November day, years ago. I stumbled on it again while looking for my photos of Notre Dame from the same trip, and I actually like this shot better than any of the ones I took of the cathedral. The lack of scaffolding probably helped!

On the same roll, I found this shot of a deserted Parisian street on a gloomy November day. I really like the way this one came out for some reason.
