For Foal Friday, a scene from Lost Creek, from my visit a couple years ago. The BLM has scheduled a roundup/removal for the Red Desert complex, of which Lost Creek is one of the HMAs. These beauties are probably going to lose their freedom. #photography #wildhorses

#booksky Finally got "Ode to the Half Broken" by @zanzjan.bsky.social from my library and it was SO worth the wait! I loved these characters so much and I guess it's possible for a novel to be both cozy and postapocalyptic at the same time. bookshop.org/p/books/ode-...

A vermilion flycatcher, a bit wet from making multiple splashy cannonball dives into a nearby water feature to take a really thorough bath. Sweetwater Wetlands, Arizona #birbs #wildlife

The current configuration of Assateague Island's state line band: half sisters Coco and Sapphire, and stallion Foxy's Gift. I met up with them on this very very buggy summer day. Poor Coco was getting hit the worst with the deer flies. #photography #wildhorses

Thanks to the spreadsheet I just created I have figured out that I've read 144 Star Trek novels, out of about 836 total novels (and a few short story collections) available. That doesn't include the comics, which maybe I'll get to after all the novels.

I file grackles within the sassy bird classification, and as such they are some of my favorites. This character is a boat tailed grackle, in Assateague State Park. #photography #birbs

An evening at Catalina State Park I'm planning a trip back there again in December, looking forward to hanging out with the javelinas and coyotes! #photography
