California sunset. Mt Tamalpais.

A landscape with many layers. The foreground are tree silhouettes that frame the bottom and two sides of the image. Some are coast live oaks and the sunset light gently reflects on their shiny leaves. Others are the dark silhouette of pines. The next layer, the middle of the image, is a hazy, lightly fogged city in a valley. A plateau with a huge grove of eucalyptus rises above the city on the upper left. Beyond, the Bay, and layers of clouds kissed with golden skin, and Mount Tam is furthest and most toweing above the clouds just under a delicate eggshell blue sky.

Breaking news bulletin: Tiny tongue!

An orange creamscicle striped kitty is laying on the back of the couch, between some cushions and a window. He's got yellow eyes and an airtag collar and one paw under him and the other paw out to show his round little toes. He also is sticking out his little pink tongue the tiniest bit!

A huge grey rhyolite boulder, dusted with moss and small shrubs, fills the entire frame save a triangle of cloudy skies illuminated by sunset. There is a series of winding steps hewed into the stone.

Rainy day walks

An old wooden fence with two nails in it and a dusting of almost florescent green and yellow moss, with bits of teal lichen. It's a rainy day microworld.

A close up shot of lush, soft, verdant moss growing in little feathery branches reaching up and away from the gray wood plank of a park railing. It is a rainy day microworld.

Rainy day walks

A beautiful chestnut brown shepherd husky mix dog sits proudly atop a huge rhyolite crag with rusty and beige colors, looking lovingly upon the landscape. Rain clouds and conifer in the sky behind his back

Rhyolite boulders glimmer with wet mosses, grasses and lichen growing along their luminous chalky white and rust surfaces. The huge, wavy boughs of a chestnut tree twist just above, its clusters of pinkish white flowers are starting to bloom. Ferns and deep moss are visible amongst the trees.

#NoKings #Oakland

A crowd of people walk past several long, many storied office buildings with reflective glass. So many people fill the frame, and the entire street, many with such creative and beautiful hand made signs. Some are tall fabric banners on wooden frames that say Tax The Rich and Health Care for All and Green New Deal Now. Others say No Ice No War No Kings! Make Lying Wrong Again. The Lying King. Most Corrupt President Ever. No Blood For Oil, No Bodies For Ice.

#NoKings #Oakland Let's Fuckin Gooooo

A hand lettered, vaguely calligraphic sign propped up on a Bart seat. It says "antifa since 1941" in white wax crayon on black poster board.

Monarch caterpillars have arrived in the pollinators garden! Aphids are also there, the livestock of ants. My milkweed plants are all still very small, I'm worried they will run out of leaves to eat. Should I then move them to some bigger milkweeds down the street?

A stalk of a milkweed plant, close up. The leaves look beleaguered and bitten. A caterpillar with a delicate pattern of black stripes on pale yellow perches on the underside of one leaf. About a dozen bright yellow oval-shaped little aphids perch all along another. Dry leaves and soil and plants and branches are blurry in the background.

He likes to pounce and chase and field and bicycle kick those little chuck-it balls

An orange cream tabby cat sits in a tight loaf on a large sisal rug, a tiny orange and blue chuckit ball clasped on the triangle of his front paws. He is licking his little pink nose, and his ears and body are poised for play.

Beautiful chestnut brown shepherd dog with white chest and toes, soft ears and a glowing pink collar is very happy with himself sitting on top of the column of a stone bannister, peeking around some leaves and smiling. Behind him, orange and blue sunset colors and the silhouettes of trees and power lines. In front of him, green leaves and a leash extending towards the camera.

First bearded iris in the garden plot

Iris blades are bright green and upright with pointed ends. An old wooden board forms the edge of a planting bed. One iris stem blooms with a purple, ruffle-edged set of petals that fade to lilac and white towards the center. The single flower is purple on a field of large, jagged, silver-green artichoke leaves.

Lately incapable of leaving the car after coming back from school drop off because I am powerless to resist the genius playlist of John Richards' KEXP Morning Show.

A close up of a small plum blossom branch with a few tiny, delicate flowers. The petals are white and the pistils a soft pink. Verdant trees are in the background and everything is delightfully fresh and wet with light spring rain.

Weekly #NoKings anti fascist protest at the Tesla in Berkeley

A woman in a straw hat with a bright blue shirt on holds forth a beautifully hand lettered tall vertical sign, obscuring her identity from the camera. The sign says NO and below has an emoji of a gold crown, and under that a brown poop emoji. They are outlined in black and colored evenly. In the background, a lively group of folks are visible with signs on the steps, sidewalk and street in front of the Tesla showroom.

Sunday morning with coffee and the most delightful little set of portable watercolors and brush pen

A view down onto an old, worn, dark brown tabletop, with parts of the veneer entirely worn away. In the center is a water color block with some casual sketches/underpainting of gargoyle cats, in blue. The the right, a small portable white box of 12 water colors with a compartment for the two sides of a water-filled brush pen and sponges. There is also a pink and shiny rainbow Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk coffee mug, a stack of a few other watercolor papers, and the SF MoMA magazine.

Ate husk cherries at the garden today

The cupped palm of a hand in front of a background of verdant, almost heart-shaped leaves. The habd holds one husk cherry (or golden berry), hidden in its papery, dry, light-yellow lantern-like husk.

Redwoods and Plum Blossoms

A large beautiful life giving redwood nurse log lays along a muddy path. Redwood branches are all around and frame the left edge of the photo. The path and trunk are covered in a dusting of delicate white plum blossom petals, like spring snow.

Indivisible East Bay's Overpass Visibility Brigade yesterday in response to Alex Pretti's murder.

At the end of the event, as sunset colors fill the sky, someone is blowing giant shimmering beautiful iridescent bubbles.

Indivisible East Bay's Overpass Visibility Brigade yesterday in response to Alex Pretti's murder. The letters on the overpass say WE SAW THE VIDEOS. ICE KILLS. DHS LIES.

A view of the overpass. Many people stand all along the length of it. You can just make out the large black signs with white lettering that spell out the message WE SAW THE VIDEOS. ICE KILLS. DHS LIES. Other signs are there, too. ICE OUT, a huge upside down American flag, and a broken heart.

A view along the overpass and bike lane. People are crowded along the chain link fence on both sides, some with colorful pom poms, to stand behind signs..some people are waving to the cars going by. In the center of it all, someone holds a large sign with a red broken heart on it.

Several people hold their own signs up to the chain link fence of the overpass. One says Know Your Rights and has a large photo of a red whistle at the bottom. The other says DON'T HURT THE HANDS THAT FEED YOU in the colors of the Mexican flag.

Hold tight to all that is good and true in this world. Rest In Power, Renee Good.

A sweet and cozy store front window with an old fashioned lettered open sign, cute little cottage and poultry sculptures. There is also a "No Kings, No Ice, No Fear, Immigrants Are Welcome Here" sign with a monarch butterfly on it. And a sign with a portrait of Renee Nicole Good, with her name and "Descansa en Paz" written on it.

A beautiful silver waterfall flows diagonally through the entire frame. A reddish brown dirt path with some rough hewn wood steps leads through verdant ivy and crosses the waterfall with a long plank right in the middle, forming another diagonal. In the middle, a beautiful brown shepherd husky mix dog smiles up at the viewer above.

Weekly Indivisible Fight Fascism Protest at the Berkeley Tesla

Many beautiful free patches are laid out on the sidewalk. They are made by linocut printing on fabric and features various designs and slogans. A cat walking on hindquarters and carrying a banner that says No Kings on yellow fabric. A FUCK ICE patch on black. Another patch says 1ST AMENDMENT AS AMERICAN AS BASEBALL AND APPLE PIE. Another says TRUMP IS THE WORST PRESIDENT SINCE TRUMP.

Extremely fat and happy gray squirrel with light orange belly peeks around the soft, shaggy barked trunk of a redwood and poses sassily for the camera with front paws and head facing down. Beautiful redwood boughs and other green foliage fills the background behind the squirrel.

Weekly Indivisible Fight Fascism protest at Tesla in Berkeley

A chalk slogan next to some cement steps, artfully lettered in blue and traced with yellow. It says "Buy Tesla, fund GOPedos"

A yellow and red sunset that looks like explosions and flames is just above the Bay Bridge, hills, and glimmering lights of the San Francisco skyline. The sunset colors are in a horizontal clearing of clouds after a long rain. Most of the sky above is glowing fray clouds. Below the skyline and Bay, the silhouettes of houses, boulders, and trees.
