Looks like it’s already #wildfire season again. Maybe somewhere out near Silverado Canyon or Lake Elsinore? That smoke plume is roughtin the direction of Saddleback when it’s visible from here. #socal
[A few days later:] Or maybe not. I haven’t found anything else, so maybe it was closer than it looked and/or put out quickly.
I took a break from errands and went to the bluffs above the beach to watch boats and seagulls. It was super windy, and the seagulls were hovering in the updraft…and riding the wind *sideways*!
That, and the usual wheeling around, made them difficult to catch on camera.
“Why people are socializing more about crime even as it becomes rarer.”
Because the more coverage you see, the more common you think it is. (Look up ‘availability heuristic’)

Heh… I’ve also joked about Les Mis being the epic struggle between Wovlerine and Jor-El…

Fly away! This crane egret was standing on the road around #MadronaMarsh, swaying back and forth and looking upward like it was dancing or something, until it finally decided to fly off.

Flashback: A #tropical #stream in #Hawaii, somewhere along the trail to the 420-ft Akaka Falls on the Big Island. I’ve been digging out the originals of photos I posted in low resolution back in the day. This seemed like a good one for #EarthDay.
Correction: 440 feet. Not that they’re in this photo anyway.
A deserted Parisian street on a gloomy November day, years ago. I stumbled on it again while looking for my photos of Notre Dame from the same trip, and I actually like this shot better than any of the ones I took of the cathedral. The lack of scaffolding probably helped!

Found my tourist snapshots from visiting #NotreDameCathedral way back when. Gloomy day with scaffolding, and a note that none of the inside photos came out. I can see why I never scanned them, though I might dig out the negatives and do that now just to get them onto digital.
Figured I’d use the 1977 filter on this, given the architecture.
Interesting! The filter is apparently applied on top of the attached image, because Mastodon shows the unfiltered image.
The western horizon was blocked at sunset…but the view upward wasn’t!
There’s a hawthorn hedge near work that’s absolutely covered with flowers for a length of around 40 feet. I walk past it several times a week. I’d never noticed the scent of these flowers before, but it’s impossible to miss right now!
Correction: It’s more like 100 feet. Not sure why I wrote 40.
I was mostly support for the kid’s #Minecraft costume, but I did get a chance to check out art, buy from small vendors & photograph #cosplay with the new camera.
The kid only took 1 photo, but it made be rethink my technique.
