Caught the superb owl
Props to Niantic for both the timing on the raid day and for letting the players connect the dots themselves.
Sunny side up!

Just some #mosstodon from a recent hike in the Palos Verdes Peninsula hills near Los Angeles. There’s a nature preserve along one of the canyons with a stream running through it that actually has water after this winter’s repeated storms, unlike when I went there last summer (or was it fall?) And it was completely dry.
Venus and Jupiter conjunction! Right now!

Followup: I got a better photo using the good camera and tripod after I got home
Pretty sure this isn’t related to any of the multiple tree down alerts that went out during the windstorm earlier this week.

I love how #PokemonGo postcards always start out with “Greetings from” even when they go on to a name like “SQUIRREL of DOOM!”
According to the postcard info, it’s a mural by Glasgow artist Sam Bates aka Smug.

Crescent moon and Mercury
Crescent moon and Mercury as seen a few nights ago. Venus had set below the hills a few minutes earlier. Not a great shot, but “the camera you have…” and all that.
Finally settled on this Gulf Fritillary
Finally settled on this #GulfFritillary #Butterfly as my best #photo on Flickr for the year. I like some of the other photos better for where I was, or what I was trying to do with the shot, but I think this came out better overall.
Other candidates include a squirrel, autumn trees, and black-and-white sunbeams, but this was the most attention-catching at a first glance.
This explains it he events of #Portal2 so much.

10 years ago a young #MountainLion crossed two freeways and began a life in Griffith Park, a semi-wild area in the hills of #LosAngeles. #P22 became a trail-cam celebrity, outlived life expectancy for wild pumas and inspired a #wildlife bridge across the 101.
Waning health prompted biologists to bring him in for a checkup, but he was hit by a car first. Injuries & chronic illness were too much for him to survive in a sanctuary, and he’s been euthanized.
I should clarify in case the ALT text isn’t visible – the attached photo from the LA Times is of P-22 in better days, spotted on a wildlife camera.

I keep thinking about posting my Flickr photo of a family of mastodons at the La Brea tar pits (statues, of course) on the bird site to see whether it gets marked as “sensitive,” but I don’t feel much like logging back in over there right now, so here’s the photo:

I couldn’t quite get the color processing on this hidden bench the way I wanted, but I think it’s interesting at least.
(Also: testing Flickr embeds)
