A friend from Germany sent me a message with a photo today: "Your card with New Year's greetings has arrived!" — I thought that was rather late... but upon closer inspection, it turns out that it was even later! 🤪

...1.5 years from California to Bavaria — good job, USPS and/or Deutsche Post. 😂

The Hooded Orioles have returned — I heard their loud chatter in the neighborhood this morning. Here's a photo of a male (seems like he's aware of his good looks, isn't he?😅)

to March 2014, when the waves of a storm system pounded the seawall of La Jolla's "Children's Pool" — and it all disappeared in this long exposure. :)

For here is colorful Mount Perry, a peak in the northern Black Mountains of Death Valley National Park.

The hike to Mount Perry's summit starts at Dante's View and is pretty much "uphill both ways", with a distance of 8.5 miles. From Dante's View one first loses about 800 feet in elevation — and then has to gain it back. And the same on the way back out of course. 🤪

#ThrowbackThursday to September 2014 and a peaceful wander in the sand dunes, when monsoon clouds helped to keep the temperatures tolerable. A strong wind blew fine sand over the ridges. I love the subtle tones and colors of this moment.
