Got to experience euro summer transitioning to fall in Germany, Austria and Italy over the past two weeks. Highly recommend!
Orange Sky Day was scary and surreal, but this will never not be cool.

Dug this out of a shelf at Treehorn Books in Santa Rosa and it might be my favorite used book find.
Love the way @jachristian.bsky.social captures the mystical nature of the park. The light through trees & juxtaposition of Richmond District apartments is especially cool. An urban park with ancient "Jurassic Park" vibes. Half expect a stegosaurus to be walking through these. 📸s: Jessica Christian

The San Francisco sunset doing some crazy stuff tonight. I wonder what the west side looks like.
Covered the Pokémon World Championship and PokémonXP fan convention today in San Francisco. My 7-year-old heart is soaring 🔥💧🌱 @sfchronicle.com
This was such a magical experience ✨ What does it mean when people choose to help a struggling species, instead of look the other way? Read some good news for a change!
COYOTE@coyotemedia.org · 2mo agoBlack-crowned night herons are Oakland's official bird but they often fall or are pushed onto the streets or sidewalk below. They break legs, or toes, or wings — and if they’re lucky, end up at International Bird Rescue. @nuala.bsky.social shares what she experienced at a recent heron release.
I spotted this ribbon-worthy pumpkin growing on a median under the freeway which led me to discover the San Francisco Street Tree Nursery and it reminded me that it’s just so great to observe your surroundings and learn cool things. I hope they win something in Half Moon Bay.
These unwitting people I photographed at the Taylor Swift concert don’t know they’re forever immortalized in the San Francisco Chronicle newsroom.
San Francisco will open a new recreational trail through its watershed lands in San Mateo County on Monday, offering the public a rare opportunity to visit the highly restricted wilderness where millions get their water. Read more → www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art... 📸: @jachristian.bsky.social

I mean this IS earthquake weather if you believe in that kind of thing.
Another Russian River otter spotting, this time with a surprise ending.
Seen over San Francisco. That company that said “stop hiring humans” is saying sorry now.
