hello!

This companion blog mainly hosts links that I want to mark for later reference. It's my virtual collection. As I read through literally thousands of blog postings, patterns naturally reveal themselves. Hey, it's a hobby that I enjoy. All links are gathered manually, i.e., I do not use any kind of automated search query. I figure I might as well share what I've found. Plus, I'm using this as a tester blog, so you might see a few oddities from time to time.

super moon

While I'm not that into stars and the moon (I often cannot see beyond the fog and overcast skies), I have noticed last fall and this spring seem to have created some flurry of notice. Unfortunately, I've only managed to remember one post so far:

bobcats

While I have spotted a young mountain lion before, it's my goal to see a bobcat. I think bobcats look different depending on where they live. Subspecies anyone?

I think John, Jen at Owl and Wildcat, Pat, and Jim all photograph in Tennessee Valley and Point Reyes in Marin County, just north of San Francisco:
