Found this guy in a thrift store years ago and gave him a new paint job (he was a solid dingey grey). He just had a nice shower out there 🐉🌧 #dragon

Wish I could still go on hours-long walks. But I can still see, smell, and feel the cool moisture outside. #Arizona #monsoon

With all the rain we're having recently the toads have made a reappearance 🥰 My son saw these today. #Arizona #wildlife #backyardnature #toads

Porch cat napping. #cats #pets

Good morning #Arizona

Good morning.

#Caturday Morse on the roof near dusk.

So cute it oughtta be illegal 🐾🐈‍⬛ #cats

#Caturday meet Piglet. He's a sweetie with the tiniest almost silent meow I've ever heard 🐈🐾 Also answers to Pigtail and Pig-pig. My sort-of adopted grandcat.

Living room wall. Three skulls one set of longhorns and a very Dramatic Possum. Everybody's a critic. #art #painting #bones #home

Untitled Horse Skull. Acrylics on natural bone, 2026. This skull was old, damaged, & fragile when it was found. I did what I could to stabilize it but didn't try to cover up the damage, opting instead to try to make it look like an antique artifact. #art #painting #bones

A little closer view.

Very nearly finished. I expect to be done tomorrow. This took so much longer than I anticipated. #art #painting #bones

Good morning from #YavapaiCounty in #Arizona Getting stuff done while it's still cool and I still have the energy.

I was really hoping for a false positive earlier even though that apparently never happens. This is the new test I got today. Dammit.

The one at left is from this morning. The one at right from a few minutes ago. I have two more if I want to try again tonight or tomorrow morning.

Daughter & her boyfriend brought leftovers from a work event and there's a party in the poultry pen #chickens #ducks

Work in progress. Small details and outlines today. Getting back after an extended break. #art #painting #bones

#Caturday Morse enjoying the morning coolness.

My son got this picture while working today near the river and I feel like there's got to be an Aesop's Fable or something about the toad and the snail going on an adventure together. #animals #wildlife #nature

This week's Tuesday Coffee Hour post is about my recent visit to the OdySea Aquarium in Scottsdale. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

An hour ago or so the sky was completely clear. #Arizona #monsoon

Daughter's tat has a new fan 🦋 #butterfly #tattoo

One more #fish pic from the OdySea Aquarium, and then I'm off to a shower and bed 😴 Goodnight everyone.

More #jellyfish at the #aquarium just because I like them so much.

Daughter got a pic of me admiring the gorgeous jellyfish tank when I wasn't looking. This was one of my favorite exhibits at the #aquarium

An adorable little turtle at OdySea Aquarium. It's called a pignose turtle and they're very endangered, something like only 250 remaining in the wild. 🐢

We also visited the butterfly conservatory next door 🦋

More puffer fish at OdySea in Scottsdale today. #Arizona #aquarium #fish.
