I was walking around the cove, amazed by that amount of seals. I got two in the bottom corner of this photo.

Attachment: IMG_8410.jpeg [ 2.96 MiB | Viewed 8266 times ] I was able to get pretty close to photograph this kangaroo rat, because it’s DEAD. Honestly, the biggest godddam kangaroo rat I’ve ever seen, bigger than the size listings for the Pacific Kangaroo Rat and the Giant Kangaroo Rat — looking it up, I regret not putting something in the photo for scale. The tail is about 6-8” long. I noticed this at the edge of a main trail this morning, hidden under the shade of overhanging shrubs. Applying my extensive forensic knowledge gained by hundreds of hours watching crime dramas with my wife, I deduced it was frightened to death by one of those hated, rampaging high-speed e-bikers, sometime between 6AM and 8AM ( rigor mortis had not completely set in, and there was not a mark on it, no petechial hemorrhaging, so it had probably not been strangled by a jealous mate). |

File comment: River otter EC40EB29-D50F-4BC8-ADF2-095E7ECD9431.jpeg [ 371.46 KiB | Viewed 8224 times ] Joined another photographer who had spotted this otter. Thing was doing the “I’m mama, don’t mess with my pups!” routine. Included multiple “pop ups” where it came further out of the water while huffing and growling (which is actually kinda cute). Think it was upset by the other guy’s dog. I paused to mount a mike on my camera just as he and his dog left. Looked back; no more otter

I was off the bike when I came a half-step from treading on this guy. My face when I realized my dream of perfect dirt nearly became a nightmare.

Attachment: IMG_8659.jpeg [ 1.08 MiB | Viewed 7941 times ] Another damn snek! Almost ran over this one. Yelled “oh f*ck” as I dropped my bike on the trail. I’ve read that the Red Diamondbacks — like I usually see — are less cantankerous. This Southern Pacigic one was pissed! |
