At Black Butte Lake this last Saturday, we were treated by a flying formation of American White Pelicans. They are captivating flyers. #AmericanWhitePelican #BlackButteLake #BirdPhotography #Birds #Fujifilm #SOoC

Yesterday: Damselfly and a Mosquito at Black Butte Lake #Damselfly #BlackButteLake #Fujifilm #SOoC
Spectacular day at Black Butte Lake today #BlackButteLake #Fujifilm #SOoC
Okay, dilapidated front yard sprinkler valve assembly is removed and system capped off. The water line diverged before the valve assembly so I simply capped it off after the T so the backyard assembly and hose bib still gets water. PVC primer & cement hardly used and will go bad before next need 😜
My latest project is to remove one entire unused sprinkler valve assembly. Took a bit of care excavating but now I know to cut four pipes and cap at least the inlet (the pipe coming from the bottom of the photo). In a perfect world, I’d remove the three PVC runs into the front yard (mostly native plants there & no lawn!) but that’s a lot of work for no practical good payoff whatsoever. #yarden
Dad and Son Crash Underwater Drone Into Unexploded World War II Bomb | PetaPixel:
The cops asked them for all the footage for analysis and later discovered the bomb they had found was a Nazi SC 500 — a bomb commonly dropped during the prolonged raids of British cities by the German Luftwaffe in the winter of 1940/41, better known as the Blitz.
Bushtit!

Towhees are all the rage right now, so here’s one busy looking for food at the Refuge’s parking area #CaliforniaTowhee #Birds #BirdPhotography #SacramentoWildlifeRefuge #Fujifilm #SOoC
AirlineReporter has a JFK to Singapore flight report up! World’s longest flight.

Flew from Orland-Haigh Field (O37) to San Francisco International in the Beaver, and ATC told me to taxi to the Coast Guard hanger but it’s been DOGE’d. Closed and locked. #JokingNotJoking #XPlane #FlightSim #ThrandaDHC2 #USPol

X-Plane 12.2 beta is out and it’s nice. It fixes dark cockpits, greatly improves atmospherics, improves clouds (again), and includes a scenery recut with my work on three airports: O09 (Round Valley, California), O37 (Orland Haigh Field, California), Dug Bar USFS. #XPlane #FlightSim #macOS
For the first time, I repaired a sliding glass door screen today. The old synthetic one had weakened significantly from UV and recently took a knee. The new mesh is aluminum. It was a bit brittle but I like that it is UV proof.
I was feeling left out, so please enjoy the Black-Necked Stilts in lieu of penguins. #BlackNeckedStilts #Birds #SacramentoWildlifeRefuge #Fujifilm #SOoC
I finally have a #Wrensday post, thanks to this constantly singing Bewick’s Wren #BewicksWren #SacramentoWildlifeRefuge #Fujifilm #SOoC

I once again commit to only Fork food. That is all.
