Hint of the solar storm at 8:30 PM
When I walked out at One after 9:09, the lower part of the sky looked clear to my naked eye. But through the camera, I could see the solar storm.
The sky was purple, looking north.
The sky, looking west.
Sasha and Silver were impressed

I am getting so frustrated with WordPress’s constant idiotic changes I am ready to stop blogging. The issues the developers introduce are not worth the frustration of trying to comment, reply to comments, and put posts together. I just don’t need the added frustration right now.
Like the rest of our house, where there is little difference between outside and inside, so it goes with the temperature.
Yes! That is a badger about 15 feet from me listening to what I have to say.
When it first saw us, it hunkered down, but then as I talked to it lifted its head up to listen.
I got close to the minimum focus distance of 11 feet for the Bazooka lens on this shot. The badger looks like, “Yeah! Yeah! Ahuh! You’re so full of crap, paparazzo!”
Sunset
Sandias and Rio Grade at dusk
Sliver moon in the clouds.
Nora Owl in on of her favorite spots. She was not hooting a grocery list to Osric tonight.
Meanwhile, Osric was hanging out on his gate when he got the urge to upchuck a pellet.
Walter was chilling and giving me Maddogs on a lower branch.
Willa was hanging out near the end of a branch about 10 feet above Walter.

Mr. Bowie giving me the eyes.

Nora waiting for Osric to bring food for Walter and Willa.
Osric waiting to take his catch to Nora.
Weird food pass-off.
Feeding frenzy
The Christmas lights of the mirror quit working. I replaced them with a neon rope.
Iris are blooming
Honeysuckle. The out layer.
Osric on the gate listening as Nora hoots him a grocery list.
Willa and Walter were in the nest tonight. Willa ignored me for a long time.
“Oh! Hey there, Paparazzo! And there’s la Paparazza! Is that mama I hear?”
Sunset
Lady Banks
Linda and Herman. Don’t look at the last photo. It’s of a SsssNaKe!
Harleys in the parking lot

We got out to the owls late. Walter and Willa were looking for Nora and peeping a lot.
As it got darker, Walter (on the left) started turning into a Yeti.
The Big Dip!

• ~WARNING!~ • ~WARNING!~ • ~DANGER!~ • ~DANGER!~ • SsssNaKe Ahead!
“SssNaKe? EeeeK! Oh! Are you talking about me?
I stopped and took this large Bullsnake off the road while I was riding this afternoon.

Loki: “Oh Lord, I beseech you to make the stupid Paparazzo put his camera down and clean the stinking cobwebs! Amen!”
Loki: “I’m waiting for the bolt of lightning!”
Spunk hammocking

Marble and Glenda are Cow Cats grazing on grass.

Captain Jack. Lyrics and Music by Billy Joel.Vocals by Timothy Price
Captain Jack from Billy Joel’s 1973 album, Piano Man, is my latest cover. I first heard this song around 1974 after I purchased Piano Man. I fell in love with it. It’s not at all biographical; however, I had friends who got messed up with drugs in the 70s. A few died of overdoses, and a few committed suicide. Seeing how drugs destroyed people’s lives, I never had a reason to experiment with them.
These spent poppies go well with Captain Jack.
