Say’s Phoebe: Saw this birb on a suburban bike path…
Saw this #birb on a suburban bike path today. Some kind of Phoebe, apparently https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/37541271
Red-Tailed Hawk (on transmission tower, early Jan.)
And this hawk(?) is definitely *not* a birb…but I saw it on the same bike path in the middle of the suburbs. It landed on a transmission tower and looked around for a few minutes before flying off. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/37541270 #birds #nature

Hawkspotting on K2R
This solitary hawk(?) landed in the scaffolding of a transmission tower above a suburban bike path, and stayed there, looking around, while I walked closer to it. After a few minutes, it flew off to another tower.
I’m sure it’s storage or irrigation equipment, but I like to imagine an Escher-like entrance to some underground realm. #doorway

Compiling!
You must face the gazebo alone.
Winter is when we get rain here in California, so even the plants that aren’t irrigated start growing green

Clouds flow over the snow-covered San Gabriel Mountains
Clouds flow over the snow-covered #SanGabrielMountains above #LosAngeles this morning. We've had a decent amount of rain this December, and snow in the mountains, leading to hopes for a wet winter and enough water to store for next summer.
Oh, and skiing for those who are into that sort of thing 😁

No, squirrel, that’s not a yule log…

Jade plant (flowers with varying numbers of petals)
It’s an outdoor houseplant, but I’m posting here because I noticed that the flowers don’t all have the same number of petals: some have 4, some have 5, and some have 6, all on the same plant. Is this typical for jade, or unusual?
Twilight at the circular offices
Twilight at the circular offices. There are four of these round buildings arranged in an arc around a central, taller building that's out of view. The rock gardens and drought-tolerant planters used to be lawn and fountains until they redid the landscaping a couple of years ago.
