A place for my photos and thoughts and stuff.
California ground squirrel, Clark Regional Park
This guy, taking his sweet time…
Mr. Crook, our resident #1 Western fence lizard. You can tell it’s him because of the kink in his tail, the fact that he’s big for his species, and the direct, sassy eye contact he gives you. My day is made when I see this guy.
It’s…weird. Perhaps standing in the middle of a bridge was not the way to go. It looks Seussian…
Good looking duck…
…swims underwater like a BOSS!

Yes, Bolsa Chica again. It looked wonderful under a brooding winter sky.
…to the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. About a dozen miles off maybe? Pretty good visibility!
I went to Bolsa Chica…surprise surprise!!!!
Trying out the panorama lens at Bolsa Chica…
…and again.
It was clear enough to see the colors and contours of the foothills.
Mr. and Mrs. Surf Scoter enjoying an outing.
American widgeon…I think.
Brown pelican.
Pelican in flight…
There have been quite a few pelicans at the wetlands recently.
I think they look like dinosaurs.
I was out at the wetlands to get a view of some of the airshow.
It was a tad threatening.
It started to rain so they delayed the show. Nice view of Catalina.
Enjoying some of the action…
…without being close enough to be in danger when something inevitably goes wrong.
Great egret…
Some yellow stuff (I’m not as interested in knowing what plants are as I am about animals)…
Some red stuff…
Black vulture…
It got pretty close…
I mean like really close…
On a different day when the sun was out…
Great blue heron…
Look at that face. And they say that dinosaurs are extinct….
