I didn’t see much in the way of wildlife at the park this morning, but I found this squirrel on the garage roof when I got home. The neighbors’ dogs were very interested in it.

Crows seen through this morning’s fog. I ended up darkening the image a bit, but decided not to desaturate it any further.

So much for “never eat anything bigger than your head.”

The AI helpfully identified this as a magnolia, somehow missing the squirrel taking up most of the frame. 🙂
evening primroses, sundrops, and beeblossoms
Not sure what happened to this sign, but I’m guessing it probably involved someone’s boot and that rock.

Silk floss tree
Looks like a seedling left over from the previous landscaping trees, which were some form of silk floss. Pink flowers, bulging trunks with spikes, and so on. I don’t remember how long ago they tore them out, because my sense of time is totally messed up this year, but they’ve been replaced with what look like pepper trees.
Not sure if I should mark it cultivated or not, since it wasn’t planted deliberately.
Finally decided to stop postponing my dentist appointments and get it over with. They were running late so I had some time to spend outside and encountered some of their small neighbors

Western Fence Lizard (missing tail)
A pair of mourning doves…
A pair of mourning doves that have been hanging out in the front yard lately. Remarkably unconcerned by anyone walking by.
