The Conservatory Garden in Central Park’s upper east side is a balm in the midst of the city. So soothing.
This White Wing Dove mama is currently on her second set of babies in my Arizona cypress tree. I've gained a whole new appreciation for this species watching what a great mom she's been.
I cannot stop thinking about this magnificent fir tree in Manito Park last week. So perfect.
It was a beautiful day in Spokane. My grandson graduated tonight, and the Pride celebration in Riverfront Park was a joy.
My daughter is currently in Thailand; this is the local wildlife she sends me pictures of.
Pena Blanca Lake, just to the northwest of Nogales, AZ. It’s a natural lake in an otherwise very dry desert. A well kept secret by frequented by locals.
Tonight is the night! So proud of this girl. 4.0 all through high school. On to the Astronomy/physics program at university.
I’ve been supplementing the seed source for this mom and babies in the neighborhood. Getting a good shot of them has been challenging so far. Hopefully the attrition rate will be low for this family of quail.
Sweetwater Wetlands in Tucson. So many warblers and red-wing blackbirds; it was quite the symphony.
Globe Mallow blooms. Pictures seem to make more sense than a bunch of words, lately.
The desert was showing off today. Tucson Mountains near the Sonoran Desert Museum.
Thinning out the carrots today. The broccoli rabe in the background has giving out a good yield these last few weeks.
Parry’s Pestemon blooming in late December. So odd, all the plants that bloom in the desert during August are just now making an appearance.
Really missing our sweet kitty boy today. This video was from a few years ago. He really loved his dogs 🥹😢
This is abhorrent. When your own congresswoman gets sprayed by ICE for doing her job supporting her community. @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social
