Thanks Phil! I am happy you like it!

Sun setting on the rolling California hills

I am looking forward to seeing these views next week. I just can't help to realize this is the beginning of end. This state might be backwards, It does have really great people. I am lucky to call them friends. I'm not ready to say goodbye to them. 🥹

I love how the lighting is just illuminating their front, It really leads your eyes. Very nice!

I like them both! Although I can do better on my next outing, im just not sure when that will be.

Fire ant bites and mosquito bites are okay, but losing limbs is where the line is drawn. Haha!

How's this? That's about as tight I can crop before it starts looking weird.

Ill give that a try and repost later!

Umm Hard pass, I am quite fond of my arms and legs and would like to keep them. 😂

I am happy you like it! I actually named this one Fred, he was in the same spot like 3-4 days in a row. I really do wish I could tell them apart, like how many times have I photographed the same gator?

Im trying, Its more of a dull pain now and im able to get up and move around. Bodies are weird… 🤷🏻‍♀️

A Red-Winged Blackbird is perched on some brush

While I was shooting my gator buddy Steve, he flew right by my head and startled me. I managed to capture this shot, and I can’t help but think he is side-eyeing me. Calm down little dude, I mean you no harm. He flew away right after.

Snowy Egret caught a breakfast minnow

GM Bluesky! I woke up yesterday with pain on my right lower abdomen. I was exhausted and couldn’t eat. Today, the pain is less, and I’m awake. I don’t know what it is, but I’m monitoring it. Enough about me here’s one from the archives.

War Pigs YouTube video by Black Sabbath - Topic

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor, yeah

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'til their judgement day comes, yeah

I wont listen to a word she says. She is the epitome of I got mine fuck every one else. Nothing more than a grifter.

I thought so too 😂

Young American Alligator basking in the sun

This little one didn't move in the three hours I was there. Originally they were in really harsh lighting by the time I left they were in the same spot with much better light. I didn't name this one though lol

I was in Sacramento and then East bay. Its looking like I might head to LA although I have some opportunities for a new job (was laid off 1/31 grrr) and if they pan out, Im going to be looking in the Bay Area. Its my fav for sure!

Yes!! I am planning to move to California and I can’t wait to get more lifers there. Thats actually were I was for work, but once I live there my weekends can be filled with brand new adventures.

Alright Bluesky! I had so much fun posting and chatting with everyone today! Thank you for making my day so special 🫶 I had some lovely friends invite me out tonight so im gonna go burn off the rest of my energy. Hope everybody has a fantastic night!!

The Warmth YouTube video by Incubus - Topic

So don't let the world bring you down
Not everyone here is that fucked up and cold
Remember why you came, and while you're alive
Experience the warmth before you grow old
So do you think I should adhere
To that pressing new frontier
And leave in my wake a trail of fear
