A quick shot of Sam in the living room, the big picture windows behind him, after I got back from a morning hike in July.
Month: August 2019
Kid’s Table
A pair of Harris’s hawks with a good view of the surrounding desert on a hot summer morning in July, an adult on the left and a youngster on the right. Taken in a different section of the preserve from the two families I watched this spring.
Mouths To Feed
A verdin pauses below its nest of sticks in a buckhorn cholla, a spider in its beak, hungry mouths inches away waiting to be fed. Taken in May, both parents were constantly bringing little soft-bodied creatures to the nest.
Pull My Finger
Taken with my telephoto lens at max zoom, plus a teleconverter, to keep enough distance so we were both comfortable.
A Boo Box Within a Boo Box
Boo’s experiments with space-time are starting to concern me.
Current Mood
I’ve been a bit worn out this past month and haven’t been hiking in a couple of weeks, we’ll see how this weekend goes. I’m not completely exhausted like I was when we moved and during the last weeks of Ellie’s life, and I haven’t had to work long hours, rather it’s just that there’s been a lot going on, a lot to learn, and it’s taken a bit out of me. It hasn’t helped that this past week the night owl has been reasserting himself, if only I could sleep like Boo! Thankfully while he was pretty stressed after Ellie died our resident philosopher has been doing better lately.
