iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Caught the CalFire C-130 taking off from Ramona on Sunday before it headed over to Miramar for the Marine Corps Air Show. #photography #aircraft

Photo of a large, four engine turboprop plane in flight. The plane is painted red and white, and has the words "Cal Fire" on the side. Exhaust trails are visible from behind each engine, and the door to the landing gear in the nose is only partially retracted.

On the one hand, I wouldn't mind seeing this big sucker do a slurry drop. On the other hand, I don't mind not being near somewhere that needs a drop!

Hummingbirds.

A four panel comic. In panel 1, a rufous hummingbird flies down toward a large hummingbird feeder with as many as 6 holes on top. He thinks "The humans put up a new feeder!" In panel 2, he lands on the feeder and gazes down at it. He thinks "It's huge. Many of us could feed here at once." In panel 3, we see a close up view of the hummingbird, and he's thinking "This could end the ancient rivalries. Usher in an era of peace. Interesting." In panel 4, an Anna's hummingbird hovers over the feeder and says "Hey, can I have some necta-" and the rufous hummingbird says "No."

2. Multicellular Eukaryote
3. First bilateral organism - represented by Ikaria
4. First chordate
5. First bones - represented by Astraspis
6. First jaws - represented by Quinodus
7. First lobed fins - represented by Eusthenopteron
8. First tetrapods - represented by Tiktaalik
9. First land vertebrates - represented by Ichthyostega
10. First amniotes - represented by Archaeothyris

15. First carnivorans - represented by a Miacid
16. First canids - represented by Prohesperocyon
17. First canines - represented by Leptocyon
18. First canis - represented by Eucyon
The skulls in the ground represent carnivorous mammal and mammal-like animals of the past whose lineages went extinct, having no descendents alive today.
19. Gorgonopsid skull - the gorgonopsids went extinct about 252 million years ago.
20. Saber-toothed cat skull - the saber-toothed cats went extinct about 10,000 years ago.
21. Hyaenodon skull - the hyaenodonts went extinct about 17 million years ago.
22. Borophagus skull - a Borophagine canid, a group whose extinction about 1.8 million years ago left ecological niches open for the rise of the canines we see today.

23. Coyote - Canis latrans evolved during the Pleistocene epoch around 2 million years ago. Thought to have evolved from Canis lepophagus (“rabbit-eating dogs”) which also gave rise to the golden jackal, these canids roamed North America 1.7 million years before our species, Homo sapiens, even evolved in Africa. Coyotes persist today, despite our species’ altering of the environment and pointed attempts to eliminate them.

"I Contain Multitudes" This digitally painted piece honors coyote by tracing its lineage from the first cells of life to the animal trotting our cities and the wilderness today. The thread gives descriptions of all the extinct organisms shown in this piece (not to scale)

This digitally painted piece honors the survivor spirit of the coyote by tracing its lineage from the first cells of life to the animal trotting our landscapes today. Below the horizon, carefully chosen ancestors mark pivotal moments in adaptation, each contributing to the form and survivor we see today. Above the horizon, Coyote stands alert at the center, framed by both Denver’s skyline and a mountain backdrop, symbols of their ability to thrive in cities as well as wilderness. Embedded in the ground are the skulls and bones of carnivores whose lineages ended long ago, emphasizing Coyote’s persistence in contrast.

Photo of a very fancy bridge, complete with a pair of Towers and a bunch of iconic red buses crossing it. Much larger than I'd expect for your average Lego set, honestly.

A wooden carved and painted sculpture of a white-breasted nuthatch sitting on some nuts with a nutmeat with wings flying away into the sky.

A four-panel comic. The first panel shows an arrow pointing down at a happy-looking nuthatch bird, and a caption: This is a nuthatch. The caption says "It's called a nuthatch because... wait no" and we see the nuthatch standing on a pile of nuts, tucking them under it. The caption says "That's not... wait" and the nuthatch is roosting comfortably on the pile of nuts. The caption says NO. And we see that one of the nuts has hatched and some walnut meat is flying happily into the air on little wings.
