Fox Squirrel
Kid’s homemade Halloween costume: a Minecraft spider jockey…
Kid's homemade #Halloween costume: a #Minecraft spider jockey. His mom did the construction, I helped a bit with the painting, and he's still able to fit in the harness, so he's planning to take it out again this year. Building the thing was a lot of work, but he's getting a lot of use out it.
Um, I’ll be sure to keep that in mind… 😬 #Beedril
Fox Squirrel (ready to cross the road)
Squirrel (hiding)
I heard a lot more animals than I saw on this walk, and in this case I heard a *lot* of rustling from these bushes. I finally spotted the squirrel eating berries just behind the outer layer of leaves.

Fox Squirrel (vs. dog)
I saw this squirrel climb down a tree in a city park and start running across the ground. As I was getting my camera out, a dog spotted it, got away from its owner, ran after the squirrel and pounced. The squirrel jumped up onto this tree just in time and scurried up. The dog's owner called it back. And then the squirrel slowly climbed back down to this point (still higher than the dog's jump, just in case it came back) and paused to look around to make sure it was safe again.
Also decided to go for a less traditional view of the lighthouse at Point Vicente
Also decided to go for a less traditional view of the #lighthouse at #PointVicente while I was there last weekend.
Monarch (in the sky)
Saw this lone monarch flying around above the sidewalk next to a busy street. Took my phone out on the off chance I might be able catch it in frame and maybe be able to tell it was orange in the picture. Had no idea I’d actually be able to see the pattern on the wings once I’d zoomed in on it!
Oh no, Desmond wasn’t able to enter the numbers in time!

Fiery Skipper
Yep. a tumbleweed (sorry, a Russian Thistle) bigger than my car.

Mitred Parakeets: I stopped to grab coffee and heard the parakeets squawking in the trees.

I stopped to grab coffee and heard the parakeets squawking in the trees. These were the first two I spotted, and they stayed together like that for the whole time I was there.
