Tualatin River at Tualatin Community Park this morning. It's unseasonably warm here, feels like the middle of summer.

Happy #Caturday from Penny and Devin! I learned black cats often have underlying markings that can only be seen in certain light, and noticed the faint stripes on Penny's tail in the first shot. She's all ready for Halloween, looking as scary as she's able. 🐈‍⬛️🎃

Wahkeena Falls to Multnomah Falls with the Columbia River Gorge as a backdrop is one of my favorite hikes anywhere, and it was a perfect early fall day for it. Leaves are just starting to turn, need to go again in a few weeks when they're peaking. #columbiarivergorge #multnomahfalls 1/3

Happy #Caturday from Devin and Penny! I left that sweatshirt out on my bed for them while I was out of town last week and they've claimed ownership of it now. Not sure what Penny's looking at in the last photo.

Was rained on during my hike at Tryon Creek this afternoon l, but it made for some pretty light and shadows. Also, leaves are starting to turn and fall. The colors are about to be spectacular here.

Saw Weezer with The Shins and Silversun Pickups last night in Portland, and it rocked! Weezer goes all in on an arena rock stage show and sounded as good as ever. The Shins were who I most wanted to see, though, and they did not disappoint. Would definitely recommend and see all these acts again.1/4

Happy #Caturday from Devin, Penny and a guest cat I met at a nursery in Phoenix last month.

Pelicans, a nutria, a green heron and a couple landscape shots at Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge today. Migration season is starting, so I'll probably go out there a lot through October. Seems like I see something new every time.

The delusional arrogance of Trump supporters in seeing his life's history of betraying everybody, yet thinking he won't betray them, is astonishing. Can only assume they truly believe his long list of victims had it coming, and they were somehow exempt.

Happy #Caturday from Devin and Penny! (The AI image won't become a habit, as I have mixed feelings about the tech and its potentially damaging uses, but I thought this was a good rendition of Devin. Captures her well.)

Road trip out to Newport and Depoe Bay today. Plenty of sunshine until visiting Yaquina Head Lighthouse, which I think is foggy and windy just about every day. No complaints though, taking in this gorgeous scenery. #oregoncoast #lighthouse #yaquinaheadlighthouse #yaquinabaybridge

Happy National Black Cat Appreciation Day from Penny, who is appreciated every day. She's a smart and sweet animal, and with quite a vocabulary of meows, chirps and trills.

Queen Mine tour in Bisbee. This was only my second time in Bisbee and I didn’t understand the importance of copper amd mining until the first. Bisbee was once a center of great wealth. The job of a miner was hard and dangerous but they were also taken care of.

Visited Arizona recently. Stayed with family in PHX, caught a baseball game and the John Mellencamp show. Also took a day trip down to Bisbee and Tombstone through Tucson. Pics in this thread. First, Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.

Happy #Caturday from Penny and Devin. They forgave me for being away and are now "hunting" crows out the window.

Happy #Caturday from Devin and a couple mountain lions seen at Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. It always makes me laugh the way big cats and house cats have the same mannerisms.

Happy #Caturday from Devin and guest cat Pantaloons, who I'm visiting this week. He sits like that all the time. 😹

Owls at Cook Park in Tigard this afternoon. Also saw a hawk but couldn't get a good shot. Have seen herons and an eagle here before. Love living so close to this kind of nature.

Took in the gorgeous views at Ecola State Park and then saw a few elk on the way out. Got those shots from my car, as they're used to having humans around and weren't the least bit bothered by me.

This week's landscaping upgrades were adding a border with white granite rock garden to cherry tree and having the deck re-stained. Almost ready for summer. 😃

This is gonna be hilarious when we see footage of the elder golfing this weekend. I wonder if Jr is bothered at all by this. Not sure any member of that family is able to feel genuine human emotions.

For his 100th birthday David Attenborough should get to surreptitiously release an animal of his choosing into the home of a big game hunter.

Happy #Caturday from Devin, who forgave me for being away for a week after I bought them a new cat tree. The planter was built and painted by a friend, and I planted marigolds in it.

Will this tropical cocktail bring the Suns good luck today? Or symbolize the season going down in flames?

Saw The Wallflowers perform at Revolution Hall in Portland last night. It's a wonderful concert venue that used to be Washington HS. Less than 1,000, every seat is good. And there's a rooftop bar.

Peak spring colors at Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden today. What a gorgeous oasis in the middle of the city.
