My furry little boss, Mochi, has been by my side when we prepped and planted a winter garden.
Now she helps picking things, mostly peas, her favorite!
She beelines to the peas 🫛 and waits for me to pick her some.
But now she’s trying to pick her own pea 🫛
Better take her hint seriously Greg🙏
My bossy 12 pound fur baby never lets me ignore her 😂!
Coco looks like a sweet companion ❤️!

Before you know it, you can find yourself face to face with one of Tiger Rivers inhabitants!
Impressive cats!

Thank you Kimbi🙏
Yes, Mochi is happy… but she does a happy dance even when I just get back from the grocery store!
I was all psyched to get this over with!
Thank you Kimbi🙏
I tripped and scraped my leg as I was walking into the hospital. The nurse thought it wasn’t too bad and prepped me for surgery… then the surgeon looked at me and said no surgery as long as I have an open wound, even though it was small!
Bummer 🙁!
Agreed 100%!💯👏👏👍

have killed anyone who got in the way of keeping their orange cult leader in power!
People got killed, trump was the cause and should have been impeached and tried, convicted and thrown into prison!
Well said Kimbi👏👏👏!
A day of love and patriotism sadly stuck as a message some people would use.
We, and they, all saw with our own eyes, live on tv, what it really was : brutal, bloodlust and mayhem unleashed because they just couldn’t accept losing the election! In that moment they gladly would
Superb Bill👏👏🙏!
I googled it… looks amazing!

One of the best things about camping in the Anza Borrego Desert.
Morning and evening will bring these cute visitors right to your campsite!
These are California Quail, also called Valley Quail.

Morning chores, get a cup of coffee, take the dogs out for a morning treat and then fill the bird feeders.
Usually the birds get an orange every day, but today we’re switching it up with mandarins 🤗!
Yesterday was 93F/34C here, so the birds love a juicy orange 🍊!
Stunning view, and beautifully framed by the trees Tramonte👏👏🙏!

I also meant to say,
that is a big compliment coming from you, the master of trail and wilderness photography 🙏
Thank you for that Tramonte!
Thank you Tramonte🙏
It’s all from the archives.
I was supposed to come home from surgery today, but there was a mishap and now I’m on hold for 2 weeks.
So now I have extra time to look for some undiscovered gems in my collection 🤗🙏!

I love the song!
I once was standing on the corner myself.
Al, I’m sorry to read about your eye problems. Your photography was amazing and I enjoyed seeing it here.
I’m a double cataract and glaucoma patient myself, thanks to autofocus still in the game.
Please know that your work is missed by many

A beautiful and mostly peaceful Leopard Shark.
I was an avid scuba and free diver in my younger years and often encountered these sharks in Southern California waters.
This photo was taken at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, I never practiced underwater photography.
Thank you very much

Zion is fabulous in May or October, summer can get very crowded.

Hiking along the Virgin River on a rainy October day, with low clouds reaching down into Zion Canyon.
We hardly saw any other people all day, it gave us a real sense of being in Jurassic World!

The Watchman in Springdale, Utah.
I’ve seen it many times and it always leaves me in awestruck 😍🤗!
Thank you Mary🙏
It’s almost impossible to take a bad photo up there, unless the fog covers everything 😂
I can never get enough of San Francisco ❤️🙏!

Arizona did not want to repair the trail, too steep and difficult, but I think they did open it again.
I want to drive it, roads like that intrigue me!
We ended up turning around and headed home instead of an extra day to drive around and up to Roosevelt Lake.
Stunning scenery Tramonte!
We drove up the Apache Trail, but it was washed out and impossible to get to the lake. Very beautiful along the Salt River!
