View of Mount Jefferson while standing on the Timberline Trail on Mount Hood. I took this photo in September 2022 while backpacking the Timberline Trail.

Barred owl tucked in the fluffy moss - we spotted each other on my hike.

It made the hiking segment of my local News (see comment).

Here's a bright meteor from the Lyrid shower last night in Escalante, Utah.

I'm trying to get the balance of detailed and ethereal down... it's my life's work.

Turtles are my passion. But baby squirrels bring me joy.

My first intakes as a newly licensed wildlife rehabilitator were a couple of orphaned squirrels. I fell in love and kept on loving them even when they grew into obnoxious teenage squirrels. I've lost count of how many I have raised since then. When they are old enough they get released into the woods behind my house, so I'm sure I still see some.

This is one of my first. Baby season 2023 is getting started. I'm ready for the joy.
