Weather is close to perfect, 65° and sunny. Only concern is that we seem to have mostly skipped winter as we approach the Spring Solstice. Small periods of rain but not much lasting snowpack (as I know I've said before). Enjoy the day. Thanks!

Little snuggle with Miss Riley this morning.

Thank you, P!

That's absolutely the way it should be!

This is lovely, Breezie. Reminds me a little bit of a watercolor painting.

A tiny island with bare trees and shrubs in the middle of a lake. There are hills in the background.

looking forward to more of your beauty

Canada Geese at Albany Mudflats. High tide covers the mudflats and as the tide goes out it starts to reveal small areas of seabed, then becomes mostly mud with Codornices Creek passing through it to San Francisco Bay. Two of the geese fly away at the end.

Perfect!

I'll try to do better. Usually when I start to video they stop what they are doing or take off in different directions. Sadly I can't use the wand and take videos at the same time.

Such beautiful, vibrant shades of green!

A new springtime banner for #ForestFriday has a background image of bright green fern fronds with the text, "It is #ForestFriday. A weekly celebration of the outdoors & nature. If you are so inclined, post your forest-related photographs or artwork with the hashtag #ForestFriday. Happy trails, my friends"

It's time to bring on the green and other bright colors!

It's also time for #ForestFriday.

Post your forest-related images as we celebrate nature and impending spring using the hashtag.

Too funny and absolutely adorable!

Fortunately, they weren't gone for very long. Also, I realized later my BS app on the phone was fine, it was just the desktop.
✨🕊️✨

They really are. Whenever I see one they are busily turning this way and that so they don't miss anything.

Yes, I've seen you standing, Happy. Very cute, also. I was holding a wand today above Riley and she kept jumping and twisting and it reminded of you.

Thanks! It is like a little sentinel keeping its eyes on whatever is happening at the mudflats.

That is so remarkable! Kudos, all! 🌟✨🌟

She’s so adorable. #UglyDogs

Such a pretty girl!

California Ground Squirrel watching ducks at Albany Mudflats. S/he are quite often seen sitting or standing on that same rock, they seem to like it there. Albany, California.

Or, more significantly, not in your house.

So very cute!

Oh, no. Looks very serious. Jake looks like he is on the job taking care of things.

Great photo! Freya looks like she is enjoying life.

Good news! Postings of the past 3 days have returned. (For those of you who saw my initial about their disappearing.)

Thank you, P. I had seen the one post that I mentioned where someone has posts that disappeared. I do now see that the posts are still on the BS app on my iPhone. I mostly use the desktop so there appears to be an issue with that app, but the phone app is working fine.

Good idea! Not really at all sure that I am. Thankfully the mirror does continue to reflect back my image.

Interesting. I didn't think of checking my iPhone until just now and see that has all of the postings so it must be something with the desktop app. I use the phone all the time but hardly ever for posting because I'm not very good with the tiny keyboard so I hadn't thought to check.

This is a MacStudio Desktop. I contacted Bluesky. Their reply said I could add additional feedback by replying. @weatherwest.bsky.social had mentioned some posts being deleted last week w/o any idea why. Today's post is still there but 3 days still missing. iPhone is ok. Thx for reply!!!!
