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!

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.

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.

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

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

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 rainy Caturday is disappointing

An orange striped creamsicle kitty stands upright on hind legs on a white bookshelf, his front paws up against a long set of many-paned windows while he looks out on a downpour and gray skies. His hunched shoulders and down curled tail seem to convey disappointment.

Wishing a Merry and Gay Christmas to all who celebrate

A rainy bike path leads into the distance, beyond a rough wire and log fence. The day is very wet and white clouds billow on a blue sky. A huge rainbow spans the entire frame over the bike path and trees and houses on the hills far away.

A Christmas tree in a living room, with ornaments and orange, yellow, blue, red, green, and white lights. The topper is made of tiny bright glimmering lights. A garland of red mushrooms with white spots hangs over the curtained windows. There is a floral rug, a dog bed, and a cat scratching post. There is an orange kitty in a cone hiding under the base of the tree.

The first Caturday of November

An orange creamsicle striped kitty is pillowed ona very soft light green microfiber blanket. He is sleeping with great commitment, and has one paw crossed over the other the better to pillow his chin. His nose is buried in the supporting paw. Little kitty toes are prominent.

No Kings in California No ICE in California

A "Don't Tread on Me" style cardboard image. The snake is wearing a red hat, has an x for its eye, and being savaged in a rather bloody manner by a California brown bear. Pink letters say "Fuck MAGA" across the top, and a call-out says " GET ICE OUT OF CA"
