HOW? This is running on the same computer. No hardware changes. It’s a modern Mac, I *can’t* make any hardware changes. I don’t think I’ve even *rebooted* the machine since I last ran this VM.
Wait, there was an OS update last week. Did I last run this VM early in the week or later in the week?
I have no idea, because time has no meaning anymore.
But yeah, maybe it was early in the week and the latest point release reports something slightly differently to VMWare.
Someone left behind evidence of a curbside pick-me-up last night.
I took the photo in a hurry and didn’t frame it very well, so when I got home I started trying different crops and looks to see if I could make it pop a bit better.

I heard parakeets squawking from around the corner of the block, then turned the corner to see three of them perched on a cable up above the street. After a minute or two, one of them flew over to the top section of a nearby palm tree.

Today I spotted some of the feral parakeets that live in the suburbs around here. I hear them squawking as they fly overhead almost daily, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen them, and even longer since I’ve seen them close enough and still enough to photograph!
While out walking today I found three of them perched on a cable up above the street. After a minute or two, one of them flew over to the top section of a nearby palm tree.
I think Koffing is supposed to look like a magnified grain of dust or pollen…but it looks an awful lot like a coronavirus, too.
Two adult geese and two younger geese were walking around the grass feeding. One of the adults was staying close to the juveniles.
Should I be concerned that this strategy sort of makes sense?
Some #bluebirds spotted at a park. There’s a corner that’s landscaped with plants that are a bit better suited for more birds and butterflies than the usual giant lawn with a few trees, and I’ve seen bluebirds, phoebes, towhees and others in the area.
I’m not sure if they’re female or juvenile (only adult males are bright bright blue), but you can see the blue on their wings…and how well their bodies blend in with the ground.

When I first spotted it, the gull was trying to carry off the entire paper bag. I guess it decided there wasn’t anything in it worth taking.
Perched on top of a transmission tower where I’ve occasionally seen a hawk before. There are at least two in the area, as I’ve seen them flying together a couple of times.
This northern mockingbird flew across the street and landed on a lawn. While I got the camera out, it flew up to a rooftop, then flew across the street again to land on a signpost, where it stretched its wings briefly (as seen here).
Fun fact: mockingbirds are able to recognize individual humans, and their ability to mimic sounds extends beyond birds to cats, dogs, and even car alarms.
