Riding out the accursed Great Pacific Airshow in a park far away.
Alfie, the aggressive picknicker says, “Make me a plate, human!”
A wee bit of fallish color.
She’s thinking this air show avoidance thing ain’t half bad.
Escape from the air show…

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 a fossilpalooza!
They’ve even got that old-school style of mural that virtually every natural history museum has. I’ve never seen one I didn’t LOVE.
A mammoth molar. It’s also a totally mammoth molar.
An ex-whale.
He was a cute little fella.
Saber-tooth vs. horse. From the looks of it, they both lost.
Self portrait with megalodon.
Return to Clark Regional Park…
Such a lovely peaceful place.
This way to Elephant Hill!
Black mustard.
Los Coyotes Hills.
Not quite 100% superblooming, but getting there.
At the best park of all…
Alfie’s a big fan of Clark Regional Park…
I love big, tall, mature trees!
I always half expect something to pop out of the haunted looking log.
The beautiful yellow sandstone of the Los Coyotes Hills…
No superbloom yet. But really pretty and green anyway.
Black-crowned night heron.
It was a beautiful spring day!
Looking across the lake.
Like I said, she’s a big fan.
At our favorite park…
Alfie doing what Alfie does…checking out the playground equipment.
There’s a nice lake, stocked with fish, and across it, a really nice museum of Orange County paleontology.
It was a beautiful early fall day. We were avoiding the air show, because it terrified Alfie. Can’t say that I blame her. The noise was outrageous.
Enjoying not being anywhere near the air show.
Alfie and me.
A teensy bit of fallishness. (#14)
Superbloom!
Wild mustard going nuts at Clark Regional Park.
Queen of all she surveys…
There’s not a playground playset that she has not conquered.
The perfect picnic spot…
Clark Regional Park, my favorite Orange County park…
