The fennel was too much for the 2'x2' herb garden, but the tiny modest masked bees love it, and I enjoy munching the occasional frond. So I planted its seeds in the back alley in the soil around the utility pole. It is GLORIOUS! #PlantJoy #GuerrillaGardening #Photo
Skin-soft pompoms gather around their filament fountain, admiring the glowing anthers and sticky stigmas, shooting the breeze
Greater Scaup paddling rapidly across a small cove off of San Francisco Bay in April. You can see its webbed feet moving through the water. It is next to Trader Vic's in Emeryville. 🪶 🌿 #eck
Successful fishing outing for Great Blue Heron and its reflection last April, next to the San Francisco Bay Trail, Emeryville, California. #birds #nature #eck #eastcoastkin
I do not normally post pictures of myself but this is Ivy and I would die for her
Timeline cleanse. My favorite sculpture on San Diego Bay. Took these shots over the weekend. The wheels move in the wind. 🤙🏻😎
The rain is done! What a day of epic rain! The clouds were beautiful as they were leaving and heading E and out to sea. Enjoy the rest of your day and evening. See you tomorrow 👋 #landscape #photography #reflections #clouds
I should be clear that the architecture of Bluesky makes it the social media place I most like to be. I'm not on social media to be an influencer or instigator; I want to hang out with folks and have an enjoyable time. This place delivers on that. I hope it continues to do so for a long time.
The One That Went All Night It's been a while since I've had clear skies and a nice aurora, so here's a throwback to January. Right before dawn, when the rising sun meets the dancing lady. - #Twizel #NewZealand - "Look with your eyes. See with your Soul." #Aurora #Bucketlist #EastCoastKin #Scape
It was just after sunrise and the junior Merlin’s were already busy performing their aerial acrobatics and chatting about it … loudly! KEE KEE KEE! This young one was very proud of its feathers and wanted to show them all off! #Birds 🪶

Need a little peaceful ocean music? I visited my friends in Carmel then walked the path along the beach. The clouds came in but it was still beautiful! (Sound on.)
I took Comet for a 5-mile run. Then my husband took Enzo for his own walk. Comet was OUTRAGED at being left behind. (sound on) 😡🤬 #greyhounds
I want to thank all of you for your posts. It is because of you that I get to see places I'll never get to go, to see familiar things in a new way. I love the odd, interesting and unique you bring to my life. You make my life better. Thank you.🎶💜
Good morning. Happy Friday. Even from a paved parking lot, there can be something to see. I hope everyone finds beauty this weekend. #Scape #sunsets #photography #skyscape #trees #ECK #EastCoastKin #capecod
