What luck today. Photographed a juvenile Bald Eagle (second year?) at the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge. #birds #BaldEagle #Fujifilm

A juvenile Bald Eagle perched up high. It is mostly brown with a developing, and so mottled, white neck and headBald eagle soaring off. Its white head and neck are clearer.

OMG this is insane. Pea sized hail & the backyard is just flooded here in Orland. Lightening too. #cawx

I really enjoy flying the Toliss A340 in X-Plane 12. This is on approach to Oakland International. Just a short flight from San Francisco International. #flightsim #xplane #avgeek

A banking A340 on Approach to KOAK at night. The bay bridge and San Francisco skyscapers are lit up, as is the aircraft. Rain is streaking by.Top oblique view of the A340 and the San Francisco skyline with the bay bridge looming below, all at night.

Annie Creek is flowing! 0.4 inches/hour right now. The back yard is ponding hard.

A narrow 3/4 inch gravel faux creek draining a downspout to the road. there's native vegetation surrounding the creek asking with wood chips. A residential street is in the background along with a bright red VW Golf.Ponding in a backyard with crop rows and various stone fruit trees with no leaves. It is not yet flooded Annie the patio cement.

Love to see Stony Creek flowing in the main channel and out into its braids. I never saw it flow in the main channel during the 2022 water year. Stony Creek is controlled by multiple dams, the last one being Black Butte. This bodes well for ground water recharge.IMG 3780

Last night an RV and car caught fire behind us. As far as I know, no one was injured. Here are better photos of the action. There was a really nice full moon last night, too, though thin clouds fuzzed it up a bit. #fujifilm

A wide angle view of the RV and car on fire, in front of an overpass. Two fire trucks are parked in front of the blaze on a gravel lot with some ponding.Night time photo of the front half of an RV on fire along with a car parked right next to it. Flames are roaring out th front of both vehicles. An Orland Fire Department truck sits in front of it all.

Fire fighter in full respirator equipment with a hose flooding the interior of the car that's on fire. Burning fluids drop below the car, like lava. The car is extremely charred.

Sparks fly as a fire fighter cuts open the hood in efforts to make the burning vehicle safe.

Nothing but a full moon and its glow. The darker seas of the moon are easily visible.

RV and car caught fire behind us in an empty lot. We’re pretty sure it was abandoned. Ambulance left quickly without lights so unoccupied, fortunately.

Red Tail Hawk from yesterday’s bird watching at the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge. It’s not surprising that they’re not easy to spot. Even rarer is the one that won’t fly off if you get within 100 yards. #fujifilm #birds #RedTailedHawk

Snow Mountain in the Mendocino National Forest in Northern California still has snow and seems it got a fresh coat.

A mountain with a surprising flat top is snow covered beyond the golden hills. Skies are clear.
