This morning, a group of maybe ten White Pelicans were hanging out on the distant shore of Berkeley Aquatic Park lagoon and this is the tail end of them as they took off. They were too far away to get a good photo with my phone. Berkeley, California. 📸 #birds #eck

Three white pelicans on bright blue water. Dark green trees in background.

Glad you were able to take in the sunset, as well. Karl was on a tear tonight.

Sunset around the corner of Bernal Hill, but likely hidden by fog.

You all set for the Harvest Moon tonight, betsy? Hope the weather is agreeable.

A resplendent moon pictured from near Fort Mason in San Francisco on Harvest Moon Eve. Plenty of green grass, and four palm trees, all waiting to be touched and hugged by terminally online San Franciscans. (September 25, 2026)

High tide is an hour away and the cove is creeping in.

The cove is on the first set of cobblestones.

The cove is over the original sea wall. The new sea wall is another foot taller.

The next door neighbor has the cove on their lawn.

Yesterday a male Rose-breasted Grosbeak joined the female in my yard. Twice he was facing me at a feeder and flew off before I could get his face. 🪶

Apparently I need to post some more about my sister because it’s Jim Henson’s birthday and he was one of her biggest inspirations. She was an artist and maker, in addition to a photographer, and she made this Fizzgig puppet. Jim Henson was a magical human. (This counts as a wildlife photo, right?)

I only noticed the little hitchhikers near the end of its tail section after I'd taken the photo and loaded it onto my computer for editing. Had I noticed in the field, I would have tried to get a nice clear image of the little critters. Anyone know what they are?

Riley is keeping an eye on Chloe. She just saw her finish off the scraps from an omelette I ate and Riley doesn't seem to be happy that Chloe joined in and she did not. Only a guess. #cats #torties #catsofbluesky

Blue and green cat "tunnel" with narrow strips of fabric around the wire and allows a great deal of free expression for the cats. Surprised how much they like it.

The Quiraing, stunning when wet! It's a pause, between sideways rain, epic really. There's mist over the lochs and peaks that brings a silent calm, there's absolutely nobody here with us. The road winds down through the hills of punched-up greens thanks to the constant moisture. The air is thick and rejuvenating. Time to go hide in the car:-)

Hello new followers! I've removed the paywall from this piece, which is a chapter from my novel Villager, told entirely in the form of an online village message board. If you like it, you'll probably like the book. If you don't, you probably won't... www.tom-cox.com/the-village-...

The Village Message Board

Its authenticity was discredited because of his reputation, but also because he was quick with gin at the time and wearing an item of knitwear back to front.

Bay Area peeps: Occasionally posters have commented on remembering Emeryville's mudflat art. A friend just sent a link to a 2019 article in the SF Chronicle with a series of photos for anyone who might be interested. www.sfchronicle.com/chronicle_va...

Remembering Emeryville’s mudflat art — and why the mud won out

Heavy with driftwood and otherwise empty, the Emeryville mudflats became a sculptural playland in the 1960s and ’70s.

Clouds are covering the shoreline and as the sun rises some clouds are illuminating in color. The water is calm reflecting the sky and landscape.
