Redwoods, likely grown together, on the Trillium Falls Trail at Redwood National and State Parks #ThickTrunkTuesday #RedwoodsNP #Redwoods #NorCalCoast2025 #Fujifilm #SOoC

A very thick trunk red wood is straight down a foot path through a wooded area. The tree top of the giant redwood can be viewed at the top of the photo, as it has broken through the canopy and is shining brightly in sunlight. Below its canopy, everything is shaded with some dappled sunlight.

Our lone Mexicola avocado! Maybe this’ll be its first fruit to make it to maturity? It’s a long slog. #HomeOrchard #Avocado #Yarden

Started our Nectarine harvest. Last year they got bug infested but not this year. So far. One branch got majorly overloaded 😬 so I harvested it first. #HomeOrchard #Yarden

#SilentSunday #GreatEgret #NorCalCoast2025 #Fujifilm #SoOC

Far in the foggy distance, a hoard of bright white Great Egrets commune atop very tall trees. This is likely a rookery. They can be seen near each other and sometimes there are further away introverted egrets. The trunks of the trees are just visible below the egrets resting in the canopy.

A very close Great Egreg stands tall in a pond, both black legs visible, looking to the right. Its yellow eyes and closed orange beak stand out. The Egret has traces of brown sludge on its neck and tail. Its reflection is in the pond, though it is slightly obscured by some extremely blurry vegetation.

That’s a beak-full. Took some time for them to swallow the whole fish. #GreatEgret #Birds #BirdPhotography #NorCalCoast2025 #Fujifilm #SoOC

A Great Egret. all white except its black legs, stands on the shore of a pond, with a fish horizontal in its beak. The fish head and tail can be seen. An uncaring brown duck paddles past. Behind the egret is a grassy area that has been cut back to bare soil by past pond high water.

Who wants grubs? #AmericanRobin #Birds #BirdPhotography #NorCalCoast2025 #Fujifilm #SoOC
