I know I take a lot of pictures of this spot, but it’s stunning this time of year with the sun rising just above the trees. Cold too! #biking

Stayed a little later at work than I meant to, so it meant a dark commute home tonight. Bonus was a sliver moon and some reddish clouds. #moon #biking

There a few places I love more than Point Reyes. #hiking

There was a giant sunflower right by my work. I’ve been admiring g it for weeks. No joke, it was 8-9 feet tall before the flower and seeds sagged it down. Something about it made me want to take a photo today. On my way home, I saw the whole plant was gone. RIP sunny king. #bloomscrolling ?

The fog made a fleeting appearance on my commute this morning. Bonus lens flare just because. #biking

I was dreaming of the coast today, but I ended up far from it on a hot, muggy, dusty trail. Clouds were interesting though. The ones in the left here almost looked to be casting a shadow across their portion of the sky, like rain. #hiking

A mostly cloudy sky on a day much warmer than this picture suggests. A packed dirt trail winds off to the right, with dry grassland goes up a sloped hill on the left. Taken on 10/4/2026

The hike today was Jack London State Historic Park. Here’s the view from the top. #hiking

The #sunset snuck up on us tonight. I was not expecting the amount of lovely we got.

Orange clouds fill the sky above tree and house silhouettes.

My son really hoped the #sunset was going to be amazing. It wasn’t what he hoped for, but sunsets are like pizza. When it’s good, it’s really good. When it’s bad, it’s still pretty good.

Apparently this is called cloud iridescence. I like rainbow clouds better. #bluesky

Ok, this is getting a little out of hand. I’m running out of fridge space for all the peppers. I need vinegar and my canning jars, stat! #gardening

Though I didn’t see it, I’m pretty sure I heard an Osprey up there.

The many islands of the stunning Lake Aloha in the Desolation Wilderness. #hiking

Another alpine lake, nestled between huge chunks of granite and a few pine trees, the blue waters of Lake Aloha were amazing to look at (and refreshingly cold to swim in). Taken on 7/30/2026

It’s that time of year again. The blackberry patch gave up about 8 cups of berries today. They’re not super sweet so far, but the sugar in the recipe makes up for it. I can’t wait for this pie to cool. #baking

A blackberry pie made from blackberries from my backyard. It’s not super pretty, but I’m content it will taste just fine.

A momma house finch laid a second clutch of eggs in the nest above my garage. Three babies fledged from this same nest a few weeks ago, and now maybe five more will join them in a few more weeks. #birds

Five house finch eggs in a nest. Sorry it’s a little blurry. I wanted momma finch to come back, so I was hasty taking the picture
