The sun creeping in! The whole Central Valley has been under an unrelenting tule fog for like three weeks now. We'd taken a trip up to the Sierra foothills just to get some sun. The trail we'd picked was right where the fog ended, so we got to appreciate it getting burned off 😀 #california #nature

We were lucky enough to see a family of raccoons shove themselves a hollow tree. #california #nature

Bear Gulch Reservoir was quite pretty -- made better as all these tiny little birds were swarming (presumably hopeful for lost food, as I think a lot of hikers pause there for a snack). #california #nature

Somehow Pinnacles maintains the ability to inspire borderline heatstroke despite the December cool. I can't imagine what it's like in July. I did enjoy this big rock that looked like some sort of giant landing craft, though. #california #nature

We'd run into this gang of otters on the Drake's Head trail. They just swam up and started having a nice time. Lovely! #california #nature

The Creature doesn't need no car 🚲​

Photo of the Creature Mastodon stuffed toy sitting on a large pile of luggage strapped to the rear rack of a cargo e-bike at a harbor loading dock during one bright afternoon. The Creature is in its purple tote on top of two full black military-style duffle bags, which rest on a pair of blue suitcases ratchet-strapped together and positioned sideways on either side of the bike's running boards. The front of the cargo bike is positioned 10 o'clock to the camera, with the red rear light shining toward 4 o'clock. All around the Creature in the surrounding parking lot are parked cars, and in the distance, palm trees and shipping containers are visible.

Photo of the Creature Mastodon stuffed toy held up under a splash pad dumping bucket mid-dump and getting drenched with water during a bright, sunny day. The soaking-wet Creature is held up in the air by off-camera arms, its body facing right at the camera as a large yellow bucket pivots on its steel post and pours water onto it. The water splashes onto its head, deforming the Creature's plush body as it's met with over a gallon of water. Further behind the yellow bucket is a red bucket on a perpendicular post still filling with water.

Photo of the Creature Mastodon stuffed toy held up under a splash pad dumping bucket mid-dump during a bright, sunny day. The soaking-wet Creature is held up in the air by off-camera arms, its body facing right at the camera as a large yellow bucket pivots on its steel post and pours a gallon of water above its head. The water is messily scattering in the air, and the bottom of the pour has just begun to touch its head. Further behind the yellow bucket is a red bucket on a perpendicular post still filling with water.

Photo of the Creature Mastodon stuffed toy sitting on a giant, unusual rabbit sculpture outdoors in Los Angeles during a cloudy afternoon. The Creature's sitting on the lap of the “Be Hare Now” sculpture by the Haas Brothers, which is sitting on a concrete platform, as they both stare up towards image top-right.

We are looking at the underside of a stump that is more than 8 feet tall. The stump roots are getting quite weathered and mossy. Fern grow top the log.

Rockaway Beach, Pacifica, California (2016)

Bronica S2, Fuji Acros film

I've always liked the tonality of the rocks in this image. Acros does such a wonderful job in that regard. You can also clearly see each row of waves as they approach the shore in all of their frothy inevitability. I can almost hear them.

#believeinfilm #blackandwhite #fujifilm #darkroom #beach #california #fediphoto

a square black and white photo, a beach scene. In the foreground, two large boulders. The one on the left is light gray, the one to it's right is very dark. There is a great deal of rough surface visible on both of them. To the right, a hill descends toward the ocean. The waves can be seen in the middle distance, row upon row of them approaching the shore. The sky is mostly cloudy.

Winter #Solstice today for those of us on the north end. I don’t have any “solsticey” photos but thinking celestial I have this one of the #MilkyWay that I took while in N. #California last August. Our solar system orbits around the galactic center once every ~225 million years so if there was an equivalent galactic “winter solstice” point there have only been about 20 of them since our sun was but a wee protostar and all of us were just a glint in its eye.

Long exposure nightime color photo of the Milky Way angled nearly vertical to the horizon, with thousands and thousands of stars and dark interstellar dust clouds. To the left of the Milky Way are a couple of small clouds lit by distant town lights. At the bottom of the image are the tops of trees.

Another scan from the film I just developed in my bathroom: the view from Tunnel View in Yosemite Valley

(Glacier Point is nicer, but also a longer drive)

(Shot on Yashica 124G, Portra 400, self-developed in Bellini C41 kit, scanned on Fuji Frontier)

"Gone for good? California's beetle-killed, carbon-storing pine forests may not come back

Ponderosa pine forests in the Sierra Nevada that were wiped out by western pine beetles during the 2012-2015 megadrought won't recover to pre-drought densities, reducing an important storehouse for atmospheric carbon."

Gone for good? California's beetle-killed, carbon-storing pine forests may not come back: Massive climate-stoked infestations are also unlikely to recur, thanks to lower tree-stand density
