I'd take the one on the right. (...seems more red)P (Red car park) != P(Red car park) :: ?
Well I had a wild squirrel come in my house, climb the stairs to my computer room, climb my leg while I was sitting typing on my computer, climb to my shoulder and attempt to stuff a nut in my ear. I’m not joking.Baby-Boi!
I hand-raised(milked!) a sqwiwrell from 1wk-to-viable a double-handful of years ago . . . Squiggles was quite a handful! Maybe tmrw, I will share photo(s)
They affect a placid persona, then they start to chew....

This is "the grab bear”, a wash bear that started off grabby, but is now very polite. I’ve known him for 4 years (something of a world record because they usually don’t return more than 2 years in a row). He’s a very nice guy and doesn’t mind being patted. (unlike most wild wash bears that can "bite you back to the stone age” if you try)

Those darn Canadians, who'd have thought? (I am from Canada originally). Looks like an Aurora.This military plane flew low directly over my house - repeatedly. I thought I was under attack. The nearest airport is over 60km away.

It turns out there was a ship on fire off the coast. (whew… they weren’t out to get me)
You’re right! It definitely looks like a Lockheed CP-140 Aurora. Thanks for identifying it.Those darn Canadians, who'd have thought? (I am from Canada originally). Looks like an Aurora.
Unbelievable that they have to close parks at night now. I used to go to a huge nature area at night alone (silent, no dogs) specifically to observe wildlife. Then one day there was a huge sign posted: NO Night Usage - Fines $500. Then a couple years later, they monitored the area with helicopters and night vision - probably scaring the hell out of the wildlife. Then they added cameras. Now it’s not a nature area - it’s a prison camp!Not the greatest sunrise, but....
Previously, the park was open sunrise to sunset. It is an automatic gate based on the published actual sunrise/sunset times. To address a complaint and accommodate photographers, they adjusted the programming to 15 minutes before and after sunrise and sunset - so just had to arrive for a sunrise! Don't know if would want to push the sunset limits and have the car locked inside the gate where the parking lot is. Worse e repaired the fencing where difficult to crawl through if parked outside - but the time adjustment is an excellent step.
