Stylised artwork of a brown and beige Spinosaurus walking through a sandy clearing with bushes. It's sunny, there are fluffy clouds and birds in the sky, and in the background there is the blue dome of a mosque. The Spinosaurus carries on it a Palestinian man and woman. The woman is wearing a hijab and thobes and the man is wearing a kufiya. There are three cats also riding the Spinosaurus, one is in a basket. The dinosaur is also wearing fabric decorated with Tatreez, and carrying baskets of roses as well as rolled up mattresses and bags.

A Christmas visit to Moss Landing yielded some beautiful hummingbirds in the dunes! We also caught some great wading birds and flycatchers.

A white-grey butterfly perches on a yellow flower

I can't call myself an invertebrate enthusiast without posting an invertebrate! I'm fairly certain this is a Small White cabbage butterfly. They're small... And white.

A group of murres and a pelican on a rock against an ocean backdrop

Rainy season has ambushed the Oregon Coast, all the murres have flown from their colonies, and my favorite hiking spots are now windy, muddy puddles. Woohoo!
