Nature Meditation: Super bloom Dawn @Henderson Canyon, Anza Borrego, CA

I thought these video were worth sharing despite my novice camera skills. Learning as I go, thanks for bearing with me. : ) Super bloom post with some fantastic still photos and more videos to come.

 

And from the moon and mountain’s perspective:

 

 

 

 

Nature Meditation: Bird Song, Anza Borrego State Park

Sharing the bird’s song and vista that greeted me on my morning hike up Alcoholic Pass in Anza Borrego last weekend. (Stay tuned for my superbloom post.) My best guess is that it is a wren of some type (Catcus, Bewick, Rock)? If you’re up on your ornithology,  tell us what you think it is.

Nature Meditation: Spontaneous Spring, Fallbrook CA

My new Nature Meditation section is inspired by the CBS program Sunday Morning. It’s a homage to how they close the show with the sights and sounds of nature. Today, I leave you with a video of the spontaneous spring (a bonus from our recent rains) that I came across in a rocky alcove on my footless and fancy free, off-trail hike in Fallbrook last weekend.

 

Let me know if you’d like to see more of these.

Feline distractions post #2 : Lucky attempts coup at Alfie’s cat condo

Lucky brazenly tries to claim squatter’s rights in his attempt to dethrone Alfie from his cat condo. (Lucky has become more emboldened since he got some air time on this blog and has started building his own fan base.) In this daily struggle for power and supremacy, you never know who’ll end up on top – the little prince or the Alfinator. Stay tuned for more stealthy maneuvers, Machiavellian schemes and skirmishes.

I think this all might be part of Lucky’s grand plan to get his viewership up. He’s still bitter that the 3rd most popular video on this site is Alfie’s Rollover Video.
