Watched: Game of Thrones S8E5, The Bells 🍿

I literally got a few heart-rate alerts on that episode! Yowza. #GameOfThrones

A thistle on the Tomales Bay Trail at Point Reyes National Seashore last month #BloomScrolling #SundayFlowers #Thistle #PointReyesNationalSeashore

A upright thistle with a large purple explosion of a flower amidst multiple dried out flower heads. The this has some star shaped parts. It is backgrounded by a bokeh of dried grass.

Here is a contented White Crown Sparrow gorging on seeds from a plant I haven’t identified. #WhiteCrownSparrow #Birds #PointReyesNationalSeashore #Fujifilm #SOoC

A close up of a White Crown sparrow that is facing left, getting ready to tuck into some seeds with tufted tops like a dandelion but much denser, almost like cotton. Its head is prominently stripped white above its eye with a black top of the head,

Bull Elk at Point Reyes National Seashore. I had some trouble focusing, but I like the meal hanging out of his mouth #BullElk #WildlifePhotography #PointReyesNationalSeashore #Fujifilm #SOoCA Bull Elk is walking to the left in a field of dried grass and forbs. It has a bunch grass or some other vegetation hanging out of his mouth. He has very long antlers with five points. The sky is clear but hazy.

BLEP. #Blep #Deer #WildlifePhotography #PointReyesNationalSeashore #Fujifilm #SOoCA partial body shot of a young deer, looking to the right, with its tongue sticking out: BLEP. The background is all blur of brown vegetation, with a bit of green. The young deer has debris on its back, probably grass seeds. Its neck and head seem a bit small for its body. Poor thing.

There are two Ravens at the Point Reyes Lighthouse. And apparently they’re celebrities among the park staff (who are very nice & full of knowledge!). I hope all furloughed National Park staff are okay. These photos are from just before the US Government shutdown. #Ravens #Birds #BirdPhotography #PointReyesNationalSeashore #Fujifilm #SOoC

Two Ravens on a linear concrete structure that runs along Point Reyes Conglomerate. The Raven on the left has their feathers puffed out. Both are looking to the left. The blue sky peaks out a bit above the outcropping.A Raven walks along an inclined roof, with some shiny black feathers being lifted by wind. Its beak is just open and it is looking to the left. The background and the roof are completely blurred out.

I am not yet furloughed so I’m thankful for that. So here is a stack of snickerdoodles.

Two stacked cooling racks with well baked, cinnamon covered round & flat browned snickerdoodle cookies. It’s all placed on a wooden cutting board.

Here’s a proud scrub jay with a tasty treat in its beak #WesternScrubJay #Birds #PointReyesNationalSeashore #Fujifilm #SOoC

A Western Scrubjay, with a white underbelly, and a blue upper body with a gray cape, is perched on the top of a weathered wooden post. It has some sort of insect in its beak, maybe a wasp or a hornet. It is in full profile view, though its face is shaded out.

MADE IN CANADA

A new unweathered pallet stenciled on the side, in red, “MADE IN CANADA”. It is on the top of other old pallets and is in front of a storage container.
