old guy. photographer & gardener. I post my edited artistic impressions of photos I took, mostly from the natural world & mainly flowers. I never use AI for my images, but thanks if you think I do. Enjoy. I am JBC & I have a daughter I call the Navigator.

thanks, Joanie! πŸ™
yes I did, but no video. I saw it several times as it lived at the San Diego Wild Animal Park. even smiled for the camera, but never heard it making any sounds.

I’d love to get a nice tartan blanket of the Campbell clan, which I descended from, but the cost with a 35% tariff surcharge is prohibitive for me.
do you know if they cut that since the pedophile’s tariffs were ruled illegal?

if it's your original artwork/photography, how could you be stepping on anyone's toes by posting it?

I use Tin Eye but never thought to provide one of my own photos to see if it was being used by someone else. Thanks!

I was happy I managed to wake up at 3am to go out to watch it peak. even left my phone inside.

I've hoped most of my life than I wouldn't reach that age & I certainly wasn't expecting to survive the thrill sports I did, but now I have a 17 y/o daughter that's kept me younger than I should be.

beautiful scene, Rina. I only know that feeling from my dreams. the bungee jumps only felt like falling.

I have a thing for hats & that bowler is among my most favorite. I bought it at the Norcal Renaissance Faire several decades ago. made by the Mad Hatter Dude. all felt with silk liner.

Lake Helen & Mount Lassen. 
Lassen is considered to be the transition between the southern end of the Cascades & the northern end of the Sierras.

one of the finer pleasures for me in life is lying on my back in a #forest & gazing straight up at old giants, with wind in the trees & the sound of flowing water nearby. those moments when nothing else matters but the view.
