Just a kit fox (Vulpes macrotis) somewhere in the Mojave. I sometimes do photography.

Wrecked my sleep for this, but I'm happy with how it turned out.
I wonder what a lunar eclipse looks like from the moon's perspective.

I really love your mask, the detail on the fur is fantastic. I also wear an alpaca poncho with mine, they're so cozy.

I made a tail for the first time! It's the one with the gray tip, I'm very happy with how it turned out. The tail above it is one I bought in 2015 and used as reference.

Phylogenetic tree of the genus Vulpes, aka "True Foxes". Arctic Foxes (V. lagopus) and Desert Kit Foxes (V. macrotis) share a direct common ancestor 2.5 million years ago

I still think it's funny that Arctic foxes and desert kit foxes (me) are closely related.

Found this fella eating seeds from this dried sunflower. I believe they are a Lesser Goldfinch (Spinus psaltria), but if you ask me I think they're great.

Great read! Its not my most listened genre, but Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, and Tyler Childers are also some modern progressive/leftist artists worth exploring!

#MFF has been a blast, I haven't attended a full convention like this since 2019. It's been exhausting but I had such a great time being a silly critter, seeing cool people and artwork, and yapping on the skybridge.

A view NE from the start of the Birdsong Loop at DNWR. There's a stone-lined path to the left and on the right a large Creosote bush.

The Corn Creek visitors center has this grassy field, it's probably my favorite spot at the center because there are often several different kinds of birds hanging out here.

According to my search, this is a female Variegated Meadowhawk dragonfly. They apparently prey on mosquitos so I'm glad to have them in my area!

So I got a "new" camera (Nikon D850), a big upgrade coming from a D750. I'm trying to get the hang of using it now that I have a week off work. Here are some evening photos from the Corn Creek Visitor Center at the DNWR, and a couple neat creatures from my neighborhood. More info in the alt text.

I'm reading an old book called "The Voice of the Coyote" by J. Frank Dobie, and I'm loving these drawings. The book credits Olaus J. Murie for the illustrations.

I can't get over how wrinkly Opuntias get when they're thirsty.

honestly the entire ending paragraph hits hard as hell. I feel like this is the most I've ever seen someone that isn't a furry Get It.

Scored some free huge framed prints of Sonoran landscapes. No clue where I'm going to hang them but I'm so happy with these!
