The alt text is epic. It is lovingly inaccurate without being misleading.

Excellent night for atmospheric phenomena! Not just moondog and tangent arc, but also faint circumzenithal arc! First time for lunar cza for me!

It’s officially autumn and I’m roasting coffee. The shortening of the days is a little intimidating but the cooler weather is welcome. I mowed the lawn today in advance of the wet weather predicted for the weekend.

I hear it’s #fossilfriday and we recently went to Florida, mostly to look for fossils. (Yep, got some shark teeth.) We did some beach combing in between scheduled activities and found these lovely little oysters.

Four small (1-2 cm) oyster fossils on a black fabric background. One has a barnacle, another has a clam and another half oyster shell on it.

I recently got back from vacation in Florida and I really enjoyed watching the dock pets. I’m more used to egrets being silent hunters than greedy beggars.

Two pilings at a dock; the near one has a great egret standing on it and the far one has a snowy egret. A great blue heron is standing in the water some distance away.

I offered to help my mom in the garden and managed to snag harvest duty.

I’m sitting here by the marsh. The tide is high and the egrets are standing around in the sun, preening. Earlier when it was low, the yellowlegs were running across the mud and eeping.

I love museums! The Monmouth Museum hosted a fossil hunting trip yesterday and I had so much fun. Here are my two amazing finds, an oyster and a brachiopod.

Two fossils above a ruler on a desk. One is an oyster about 2.5 cm long with a distinctly curved shell and very ruffled edges. The second is a brachiopod about 1.5 cm across that looks similar to a scallop.

The sky is a wonderfully weird color, the fireflies are popping off, and the first drops of thunderstorm smell like petrichor. It’s pretty great!

Sometimes you find cool critters outside of the tidepools.

Can you find the tiny octopus? 😍 It's arm span is only about 20 mm, with a pea-sized body.

Y’all. There is nothing quite like seeing an octopus. This tidepooling trip is wildly successful.

When Luna wants to be brushed she chirps and leads me to her brushy spot. She loves it and sometimes even helps guide the brush where she wants it to go. I do a better job when I’m not holding a phone in the other hand though!

Yesterday we went for a walk after the volunteer dinner at Teatown Lake Reservation where I am a nature guide. We saw a beaver, a couple of great blue herons, a duck family, a turtle, fish, deer, a green frog, and so many wood frogs that we stopped counting. It was absolutely delightful.

I remember going out on the front porch to watch Mt St Helens smoking in the spring leading up to the eruption. Then afterwards my baby brother couldn’t go outside because of the ash in the air. We all wore masks and the ash made a mess of everything.

Our house came with a pencil sharpener in the basement stairwell. I grew up with basement pencil sharpener so this was a good sign, but the mount was bent and it didn’t have a cover. I ebayed a cover, shimmed the mount, and installed it in the craft room. I’m happy with this life upgrade.
