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.

unusual and beautiful blues
Blue is my favorite color, so it always catches my eye when I see it in blogs where I don't expect to see it:

We like dying and eating eggs for Easter and I'm starting a collection for later reference:

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:

CA weather in March
Snow in Yosemite and massive landslide towards Big Sur creates difficulties for locals. Despite our digital age, we still need roads to get around... like getting to work, getting mail, grocery shopping, and er, um, taking showers:

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:

when cam traps fail
I very much enjoy cam traps (see my previous post), but I see they're sometimes a pain:
