This morning in the garden. #dragonfly

August 1st - international Helmet Awareness Day. It goes without saying that it should be observed every day/ride.

From total ham to total goofball in under 30 seconds

Just 2 goats chilling. Puppet and Stormy, back in 2008. Both were bottle fed. They were a hoot, and they brought so much joy (and yes, some degree of pure havoc) to the house. We lost Stormy to lymphoma. We still miss him. Puppet lived to a dignified old age. #goats

Morning visitors

Sampling the figs and pomegranates

Born today! #BackyardWildlife

66 and sunny here in the Foothills. Pomegranate tree and squash are going strong.

60 on the dot and sunny here in NorCal. Shaun the sheep got his daily requirement of crackers. Abraham takes his morning mash very seriously.

Jethro and Miss EllieMay are enjoying a sunny 61 here in the Sierra Foothills.

This morning, we have a mix of wild and domesticated life here. Sunny high 60s. #KitchenWindowPhotography

#trailrunning 14.8 hilly miles in gorgeous Tahoe NF One (only one) failed gravity test, not bad. Oh these climbs though.

#goats #GoatsofBluesky They were by far the best house guests ever.

Shaun the (neighbor’s) sheep got a couple of crackers and corn chips, then found a sunny spot at the end of the driveway suitable for a digestive nap.

Backyard deer. That’s as close as they felt comfortable with me. #backyayrdwildlife #photo

Kitchen window wildlife photography (screen in the way).

Shaun the (neighbor’s) sheep seen here munching on some corn chips. I offered some pita chips, but he’s not a fan. Shaun is now a prime suspect in the annihilation of a couple of rose bushes. He doesn’t want to talk about it. Claims deer framed him. #sheep

Annual Tulip Festival at the Nevada City, CA Ananda Village yesterday. It goes without saying that these (ancient) iPhone snapshots do not do it any justice. “La, tout n’est qu’ordre et beaute, Luxe, calme et volupte” (Baudelaire) #spring #tulips #springflowers

#backyardphotography Morning light in the backyard

Couple of backyard blooms this morning #backyardphotography #localblossoms

50s here in the Sierra Foothills. Also, Shaun (free spirited neighbor’s sheep) dropped by for a handful of corn chips.
