Blinking Squirrel

A squirrel with yellow-brown fur up in a tree, looking toward the camera with its tail down, eyes closed and its head blurry.

The same squirrel, yellow-brown fur up in a tree, looking toward the camera with its tail down, but now its eyes are open and its head clear.

I took so many photos of this #squirrel trying to get a good shot yesterday that I caught it blinking.

Photos of a local park that doubles as a flood control basin…

A recent news article with photos of a local park that doubles as a flood control basin.

Polliwog Park in Manhattan Beach protects homes by collecting rain runoff
Polliwog Park did what it is designed to do during Thursday’s heavy rain, by collecting rain runoff, and providing food and a resting place for local and migratory water birds.

And some photos I took after storms in 2017 and 2019 (since I can’t exactly go out right now)

Flickr album: Flooded Park

Top level of a playground structure and the bar holding up a swing set rising out of water, along with palm trees and some other tree that's lost its leaves for winter.

Looking down a grassy slope toward a lake, which has gazebo rooftops and trees sticking out of it. A lone figure walks along the shore.

A park bench near a couple of trees, one with all its leaves still green and the other with a few mostly yellow. A sidewalk runs in front of the bench, downhill, and into a lake, where you can the backs of two more benches sticking out of the water.

This Say’s Phoebe, unlike the squirrel, was kind (or unconcerned) enough to stay put while I walked around it to get both a better angle and better light. #birds #nature #SaysPhoebe

Mixed Seasons

Mixed Seasons. Just cold enough for *some* of the trees to drop their leaves, while others keep on drinking up the sunlight. #trees #autumn #NotWinter #afternoon #park
