Dogs, books, nature, not necessarily in that order. Bay Area native. Now beginning my third decade in Boise after a lovely six-year interlude in Tucson.

Happy 5th Birthday to my best buddy! #DogsOfMastodon

"#saguaros are supporting more than 100 species. Gila #Woodpeckers & Gilded Flickers carve out nests in them, which are later used by Desert Purple Martins, Elf #Owls, the federally threatened Cactus Ferruginous Pygmy-Owls, etc. Crested Caracaras & Harris’s #Hawks also build platform nests atop the #cacti’s spiny arms. #Bats feast on #cactus fruits and, along with #bees, pollinate their #flowers"

I found this fabulous rock on my hike this morning and I tried so hard to dig it up with my bare hands but it just wouldn’t budge! #geology
The chilly weather today in Hailey, #Idaho did not bother the #butterflies one bit.
Dog heaven in the #Boise foothills among the arrowleaf and bitterbrush. #DogsOfMastodon
