The baby black bear cub was in our back yard eating pears again today until our new neighbors obnoxious dog scared it away. #PNW #bears #backyardwildlife #nature
A baby black bear cub eating Asian pears in our backyard is scared away by a neighbors dog so it runs through our back yard, down the side and out across the front yard toward the next greenbelt.

A seemingly healthy mature black bear sauntered through our yard yesterday evening. They were likely checking if the nashi (Asian pear) fruit are ready to eat – they won’t be for another month so come back. #PNW #wildlife #bear #blackbear #backyardwildlife #nature

This is clearly bad aislop. How embarrassing.
Ai slop showing thousands of people at FOTUS’ America 250 celebration. What a sad state of affairs when a potus posts clearly generative ai slop to appease his childish ego.

We are cat sitting my daughter’s baby, Lily. She thought it would be cool to roll around in baking soda that I had put out on some moss the previous day…
Lily cat rolled around in some baking soda that we had out on the porch to kill some moss. Her head has a dusting of baking soda, her ears are tilted back so the look on her face says whatcha looking.

Our grey and white cat colored cat has her nice against the sliding glass door staring at a Douglas Squirrel that is stealing from a bird feeder that sits in the other side of the window.

Not great photos since they were taken through a window in our house but it was nice to see this wonderful owl taking a moment to eat some nashi (Asian pear) before taking its main course back for dinner. Maybe a more knowledgeable person will verify the species for me?

Our grey and white cat, named Lily is sitting in the back of a leather chair wearing her pink cowboy hat. The hat is adorned by a silver star and a white chinstrap so that it does not fall off when she walks around. She has it off to one side so that one ear is outside the hat.

My daughter is waiting to use an bathroom next to my rather dirty motorcycle after just 2 days riding on the Dalton/Elliot Highway going north from Coldfoot AK to Deadhorse AK, USA. We spent 4 days on that gravel highway before heading south to Valdez during an epic father daughter ride back in 2012

Happy caturday. Lily unexpectedly fell asleep while watching Douglas squirrels in the trees. All four legs are hanging off the sill so I know she don’t plan to sleep there. 😆

Our grand kitty, Lily, wearing her sun hat preparing to go for a walk with her human meemaw. This hat is particularly nice because it has a comfy chin strap so when she trots it doesn’t fall off, and the ear holes let her ears poke through the top for comfort. #photography #cat #pet #walking
