A barred owl sleeping in a tree outside a house window

Their partner meanwhile is wide awake and well hidden in a high tree top

Pictured: one barred owl parent taking a nap while the other looks after fledglings

a egg-shaped ball of fluff with talons sticking out clutching a branch. you can barely see a tiny beak at the top of the fluff

ball of fluff now stretching its head to the left. you can see more of its very sharp talons and also a bit more beak, just below what is the beginning of a distinctive owl head marking

look at this fledgling barred owl! #birds

New career path: Telling everyone that I use generative AI for everything (and then just half-assing it with my own brain) so people I don’t respect throw piles of money at me and are cool with the final product being bad.

A telescopic view of a comet. Blue-green gases surround its bright head near the bottom center while the comet’s tail extends up and to the right.

Last night I carried my telescope down the street to bypass the trees that block my view of Comet Lemmon. I think it was worth the effort. 🔭

Leaf covered trail through a mixed forest

Another day. Another beautiful trail 🥾

Goby, a fluffy ginger cat, napping on his back in an arch position on a purple blanket. His front right paw is resting on his tail and turned upwards exposing his toebeans. His front left paw is held in a bunny position. His right rear paw is stretched out.

Photo of a group of red deer standing on a path on the new forest. The deer look cross.

I'm in please Tom.

In exchange for my entry, here are some deer who want to know exactly what the hell you think you're doing in their forest.

A black cat sits on a grey barstool that's placed next to a glass door overlooking a stone patio. It's windy, and all the rustling and rippling greenery is making for excellent cattv.

Atmospheric river still doing its thing in the PNW. Grizzly is enchanted by all the wind-whipped vegetation outside.

Brown and white tabby cat who means business

Hamlet, an ear tipped black cat, has squished himself against the side of my leg as I sit in my computer chair. His head is partially under the armrest, he's lying on his back, and his front paws are sticking up. He looks rumpled, but also like he's not planning on moving anytime soon.

I really need to get to bed, but look at this ridiculous creature. ❤️

Looking down a dirt road to a thunderstorm. There are trees and tall grass on either side of the road and under the canopy sunlight is peeking through the trees at a break in the trees on the left side of the road. Above the trees is a large thunderstorm with billowing clouds of gray, white and amber. Some blue skies are visible above the storm and to the right of the trees on the right.

Looking east down the road just a few minutes before sunset.

Looking up to the sky above the trees in the bottom left corner, above them is a brewing thunderstorm of dark clouds that are trimmed with white from the sun behind it. Pale blue skies above and to the right and faint rays are visible. Two power lines run from the upper left to the lower right and a mourning dove is seen sitting on the top wire to the right of the clouds.

A Mourning Dove and a thunderstorm.

I give today’s walk in the rain a 10/10 Tripadvisor rating for interdimensional portals.

A Brown Pelican in flight in silhouette against a light peach-amber sunset sky. One wing is extended down in this photo, and is catching a hint of amber light from the setting sun

The same Brown Pelican in the previous photo in flight in silhouette against a light peach-amber sunset sky. The bird is farther away, to the right of frame, and both wings are fully extended outward

You would think photographing pelicans at sunset would get old after a while, but I’m here to tell you: it does not 🌅🪶
