The wildlife here doesn't see me as an apex predator. I'm not sure if I should be flattered or insulted. This rabbit didn't run. Instead, it came -closer- to me. I read that it could be my scent. My dietary choices probably make me smell like a fruit basket. #rabbit #nature

I met this very brave little thirteen-lined ground squirrel today. Their ability to hibernate is fascinating. #nature #groundsquirrel #squirrel

Good morning #nature #woods #rabbit #squirrel

I used to go to the lake and blow up my money when I was younger. Guess there will always be a little bit of pyro in me. #fireworks #4thofjuly2026 #4thofJuly

This morning a Great Blue Heron decided to visit. #birds #nature #blueheron

Nice sunset tonight. #sunset #rest

The wildlife is doing weird things here. I nearly tripped over this baby bunny this morning and it just kept eating. A couple of days ago I had a rabbit run straight at me. I did the whole 'raise your hands above your head thing' to make it stop. #rabbits #funny #bunny

I sent my pic of a baby squirrel to my daughter and she raised it by sending a pic of a chipmunk with a fry. Cue Pokémon battle music. #humor #collectthemall #Pokémon #nature #squirrel #chipmunk

My little squirrel friend. I have more pics but it was getting ridiculous. #babysquirrel #squirrel #nature

Spent a couple of hours wandering. #trees #hike #nature #river

Looks like my daughter's trip is going well. #giant #redwoods #oldgrowth #nature #healing

I caved and did the ancestry test. Sardinian was NOT on my bingo card. Were the Tuatha Dé Danann (elves) from Sardinia? It would explain the legends of long life. This may also be why some of the women in my line were having kids in their 50s. @martinpicardenergy.bsky.social #aging #mitochondria

Way older than 30.

I could have gotten closer, but decided to walk away. It seems like the animals here are trying to self-tame - which isn't good. #rabbit

My daughter did really well on her trip to Colorado with her friends. So well that she is going to explore California for a month. The medication she is on has been approved by the FDA now. 83% of the group improved #miracles She caught a photo of an Ermine while hiking.

Some flowers you admire and walk away from, but not lilacs. Their scent is a whole body experience. I sat under these to watch the sun rise. #lilacs #blooms #bloomscrolling #sunrise

Apple orchard at sunset. I wish I could share the fragrance. #bloomscrolling #flowers #orchard #nature

Some diseases strike young people just as they are starting to become independent. My daughter was doing well in school but had to drop out while we figured things out. We're getting there. She has a pack of friends helping her. Just received this photo from the trip they are on. ❤️

There is still a danger of frost next week, but it doesn't keep me from scheming in the garden center. #bloomscrolling #coping #flowers
