July and August saw unusual amounts of moisture. Which produced a few mushroom images.

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....
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.

We should have a dedicated squirrel thread: Squirrelmania. (…though I don’t see how it fits in with Apple products…)
 
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)

"WTF-chew-mean only "kittei-crunchies tonight?!?!?!?!" expression....
 
Those darn Canadians, who'd have thought? (I am from Canada originally). Looks like an Aurora.
You’re right! It definitely looks like a Lockheed CP-140 Aurora. Thanks for identifying it.

Notice in the photo one engine is off. I wonder why. (tighter circling?)

I was right to be worried! It says it has sensors for submarine and counter drug and search missions! I suspected they were looping over my house to search for a grow operation. Not that… not that I have any… my electricity usage is a little high but…..

No I was worried because I have a submarine. (…yes, that’ll do…)

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.

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!
