Post photos of the area in and around where you call home.

Endako River

 

A little SoCal light show….. you would never know our neighborhood was pitch black before this pic was taken.

 

Those are some great pictures.

 

Yuk you can keep that snow. We will be getting it soon enough.

 

WHOA...heaven on earth

 

Oops ! Correction !

I was thinking this was a Peregrine Falcon, but it is a female COOPER’S HAWK, which prey on birds as large as mourning doves. Came close to where I was sitting, little birds were hiding under a bush not letting out a peep.


Cooper’s Hawk Identification:

1. DARK CAP. Mature Cooper’s Hawk has a dark gray crown that creates a cap-like effect on the head and contrasts with a paler nape.

2. RED EYE. Mature Cooper’s Hawk has red eyes and dark pupils.

3. GRAY UPPERPARTS. Back and wings are a slate gray color with no notable markings.

4. BARRED UPPERPARTS. The breast and abdomen are white with a heavy rufous or rusty-colored barring that can be very dense, extending to the upper legs. White under tail.

5. TAIL LENGTH. Cooper’s Hawk has a noticeably long tail, marked with three dark, broad bars.

6. LEGS AND FEET. Legs and feet are yellow, size of a pencil.

 

Coffee on the porch this am. Color season in effect.

 

A week and a half ago, 3/4 of a mile from the house. We were evacuated for 5 days.

 

Stay safe. Pretty soon Cali won't be able to burn anymore....it will all be burnt.

 

Got a few shitty phone pics to share with the class, beautiful blue Kenai River, sorry,phone pics don't do it justice!






This is coming into Homer, AK overlooking kachemak bay. Again, sorry for the shit pics.




Quick drive-by pic of kachemak bay from the end of the Homer spit. There's two tundras in this pic, but out of frame is my tundra and one more. Total of four tundras at the end of the road at once! lol

 

First snow of the year

 

One of the areas I walk since I came back to El Dorado hills.

 

took advantage of the sun and cut a little wood

 

man I wished I lived somewhere as beautiful as this!

 

Had to go to the post office today. Was nice and clear figured I'd grab a pic of the Alaska range, that's Denali in the center.

 

Looks great

 

Sometimes right down the street is the best place to be…. Happy Friday!!!!

 

Damn sure better than the view I'll have for the next 7 months! Lol

 

The locations of some of these pictures really surprise me. This whole country is a lot more beautiful than most of us give it credit for.


Here are some more of Land Between The Lakes, the largest inland peninsula in the US, less than 2 hours from my house:

 

This morning in South Carolina. I'll never live anywhere else.

 

One of these days I'll make it back to see that part of the country.

 

When you end up this way hit me up! Plenty to see & do

 

My wife just started working for a company out of Jackson. Looks like a cool place to visit.

 

Sunrise at the national park.

Calm after the storm

 

A few years back, my wife getting ready for a run. In the distance you can see the vast desert, its always unusual to drive to the desert for snow. This was a few days after a good storm.

 

West “By God” Virginia

 

A few hours north.

 

Pic doesn’t give size justice
