Hi, folks, and welcome to my main blog area! I will also include links to any (also in the future) other writing projects I may be up to. So visit back soon!
Seeing Red
As I walked past a window today, I happened to see a tiny glint of red speeding around the skies above our street. OK, maybe it more of an orange. Let's say it was at least reddish . Anyway, going outside, there was an unusually high-pitched buzzing in the air. And...
Aliens!!!
Be careful out there, people! I was driving today along a lonely highway in rural(ish) Sonoma, California when I saw some, I'm pretty sure, . . . extra terrestrial entities! You see, I like to keep my eyes open, especially since my UFO sighting back in 2017, and my...
Nesting Season
It's nesting season again in our Sonoma Valley back yard! The nuthatches are back in their Nuthatch Villa. They've chosen the same box several years in a row now. A jealous Nuttall's woodpecker wanted to get in on the nesting action, eying an adjacent box . . ....
Sunset & Moonrise
This morning, I was visited by a beautiful bluebird that posed on a wire for me, and a broody, punky-looking cedar waxwing that wouldn't give me the time of day. Wanting to bookend the day with some bird photos, I decided to drop by General Vallejo's Home Sonoma State...
Then They Came For the Butterflies
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the butterflies, and . . . WHAT THE $%#@?!?! The last few...
My Lucky Day (or CLOUD-y Day?)
(Note: This is NOT from today’s Wordle) I don’t normally (or ever) post Wordle stuff, but this probably won’t happen very often. . . . Last week, I was playing an iPhone Wordle clone/rip-off called Wordus. Unlike Wordle, it allows unlimited play rather than limiting...
Flying Hearts & Trippin’ Squirrels
Here are a few photos from my brief stroll through the Niles Staging Area of the Alameda Creek Regional Trail yesterday: • I saw a very unusual cloud in the sky above me. Obviously, love was in the air! ❤️ I named this cloud Amelia. . . . Amelia Airheart. • An Oak...
Into the Woods
In memory of the the recent passing of music-meister Stephen Sondheim, we took a trip yesterday into the woods at Samuel P. Taylor State Park in Marin. . . . OK, that's not why we really went there. But it was almost as far west as we could travel, and we thought it...
The Lady in Gray
A pair of western bluebirds was flying around in front of our house this morning. The bright blue male flew away before I could grab my camera, so here is a picture of . . . The Lady in Gray: a bluebird missing her blue. Well, OK, she was wearing orange too,...
Beach Escape
Several days ago, we visited the beach for the first time since forever. (Forever being anytime before the pandemic started.) It was a nice escape from Sonoma Valley, as it ended up being a refreshing 30°+ reduction in temperature. It was like driving from summer to...
