idea stolen from magpies



verdin! aren't they adorbs. anyway it snowed here last night, a rather rare occurrence and it's fast melting away



spotted the elusive snow leopard sunning itself (jk that's my cat)



our mountain view, at least for a day or two



this barberry still has flowers. it's been around 70F most afternoons til this week



desert plants not terribly well adapted for this. some of my bushes were completely weighted down this am but they're recovering well



clouds clearing off a bit now

hi i love your cat !

thanks she is getting too chubby i fear. time to cut out the treats

hi! i love your mountains!

thanks me too. i wanna stay here forever. one more from this morning



still very cold but we're down to a patch of snow on the shady side of the yard. should be 70F by the weekend!

i drove through there just a few days ago! (well, probably not right by there; i stuck to the area along i-10. there wasn't any snow at that point, obviously, but it was reasonably chilly.)

gonna miss this place

i was gonna try to make some SUPERWOLFBLOODMOON photos but it looks cloudy

winter storm watch again here in the desert. granted i had to get up pretty early to catch these. it's 10 am and snow is gone from my yard

Nice pat!

.
I hadn't noticed this thread on the new forum until now. doh.

Some fantastic shots here. Patreeko yours are as atmospheric as ever, and rivetingly punky. What a great shirt that guy's wearing, sitting in the booth with friends. Love that pattern.

Rischka, you should send some of your pics to nature magazines. Love those mountains, the birds, and those prickly bushes. How is pabs, the baby cactus? Hope he's still alive.

here's tiny pablito. he seems to have survived the winter. i moved that pebble on the right that seemed to be bothering him



also it may not be too exciting to the rest of you but i saw a vermilion flycatcher in my yard yesterday. not my best photo but...

.
Thanks for taking care of him! Do you think he needs to be moved away from that piece of concrete? (I hope it isn't a step, coz someone going up or down might crush him.)

The birdsong must be lovely to hear.

So happy pablito's alive and well!
.

vermilion flycatcher better shot

yes i've moved pablito several inches away from the driveway but still out of harm's way. will keep you updated also some fleurs are blooming here now



will try to get supermoon photos tmrw night if poss

no supermoon D: but i went on a marvelous hike this morning. the weather is perfect

















nice not to have to lug the camera. the smell was amazing and i didn't see a single other person

It's my friend's uni dorm, they were both hitting a bong in the toilet as to avoid fumes leaking out.
It's a posterity piece.

The drunk clip was from my friend's 21st, it was a 90s themed fancy dress, so I did my best impression of Arthur (not our friend the Canadian turbovirgin), but regardless, I've really fallen in love with these glasses...



(I don't usually wave when I take selfies, I just felt a weird urge to in my drunken stupor??)

I sampled some Wagner and DJ Loistboi/Malibu for the soundtrack, I'm actually more pleased with how it sounded than anything
as for the music within the diegesis;

It's my bedroom epic of digital despair

Maybe the hummingbird will make your stagecoach into a hummer...

this is possibly your worst joke ever. and i hope not as driving a hummer would not be environmentally responsible



know who else wore those glasses.... the boy who lived!!



hmm lil bit smaller though :ugeek:

Arthur outfit looking good, Patrick! :icon_e_wink: Very nice film as well
