A magical time of year is coming in February- a chance to see a natural #firefall at #horsetailfall in @YosemiteNPS Last year was the most amazing one I have ever witnessed-this video captured the wind moving the water in a spectacular show. #yosemite #yosemitefirefall

Tonight’s sunset in the Sierra foothills.

Red admiral and California tortoiseshell butterflies this weekend in my yard. I usually see a few individuals of both these species of butterfly on Sunshine Hill in the fall--often tussling over territory

The dogs have it really tough in the Sunshine Hill Pack. They would fail as wolves. 🙂

This is my four year old Knox, a happy gentle soul who loves to give hugs and sunbath. Adopted from Madera County Animal Services in 2023.
