Great photos.When your out in nature, time seems to slow when you pay attention, it could be a blades of grass blowing in the wind? Did you eye a grasshopper contemplating the next jump? You follow the grass to the ground to notice a troop of ants moving food to the colony. Endless connections🥰😃

Did get some nice dragofly pics during walk ...

Well, trying to figure out a somewhat new health complication - had about 10 vials of blood taken yesterday and now waiting for a panel of test results to roll in - so getting some #naturetherapy this am

Getting out before it is too too too hot - already 90 F before 9 am here in #davisca

My brother and I have decided to endorse McGovern for President.

Life is better with otters. It is even better than better with juvenile otters. Seen this AM at UC Davis.

By granting the President more power the Supreme Court just gave 1000 more reasons for people to keep sociopath Trump out of office.

Well we are in for a very hot week but early AM at the ucdavis Riparian Preserve is spectacular

So I witnessed and filmed this crazy spider duel in a sink and posted the video to YouTube ... it did not end well for one of the spiders ... youtu.be/oLr9ralo7y4?...

Crazy spider duel in a sinkyoutu.be So I witnessed a crazy fight between what seems to be a mouse spider and a cellar spider in a sink at a cabin in the Sierras.

Skipping the debate for some #naturetherapy in the #Sierra

Love a marmot sighting! We spoke to some researchers last year who ran into a curious marmot out in the field that ended up going after their samples… jointgeno.me/s04e04

And today in "OMG Squirrels are So Cute" - Douglas Squirrel seen near Soda Springs, CA

Well, I think this marmot believes it is royalty. Seen near Soda Springs, CA today.
