A lovely Pacific Tree Frog found a safe spot in a Mullein. This past & rather mild summer we regularly encountered tiny frogs hugging the wet undersides of leaf fall and logs. #Frogs #Wildlife #Petaluma
A brown & slightly bumpy tree frog on a wooly green mullein leaf with hints of green stripes on their back and a bold display of black eyeliner above each eye extending to the pointy nose.

Harvested Tromboncino squash today. The green is harvested as a summer squash that tastes like a creamy zucchini & the orange is harvested later as a winter squash akin to butternut in taste. We brought over 200 lbs of vegetables to the food pantry. #Gardening #Petaluma

It’s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what he’s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

This was an epic spot on the Middle Fork of the Stanislaus. Incredible leaping trout, lush insect life, an osprey way in the distance, fall foliage. I will be back! #FlyFishing #California #Hiking

Had a pretty liberal English teacher colleague become a Trump supporter after RFK Jr. endorsed. I think that was a bigger deal than many suspected at the time.

According to some white wealthy homeowners on Nextdoor, removing some free street parking on one side of a street is a “civil rights” violation. I wonder if they know about the immigrant abducted a few blocks over? #Petaluma #Privilege #CarBrain

NEW: The Trump administration’s slickly produced videos of an immigration raid at a Chicago apartment building in September showed federal agents rappelling from a helicopter and banging down doors.

These are the stories of the people who were inside.
