Thanks for those comments, Igor That was a great day we had with you, Jane & Rob - can't believe it was 8 years ago! We also have turtles that have to be rescued from roads - not often, fortunately although with the current very dry conditions we're experiencing it could be more common this year

I'm expecting it to be more like the Big Bad Wolf and the little piggy living in the "house of sticks". Looks like the mandatory evacuations are starting to affect some inland counties. If I-40 hasn't been switched to all westbound traffic already, it will be soon. This is the first major

That's a very interesting creature. It looks like a young, unopened pine cone, or rather that from a "cedar pine" (in which pine nuts are found). Thanks for sharing it with us, Brian! There are some very interesting animals in your "neck of the woods". We still have very fond memories from
