While it looks like this Douglas’ Squirrel is just chilling on the branch, it was actually scratching its face. It laid down on its belly and rubbed its face from one side of the branch to the other to scratch its cheeks and chin. But in this particular frame it looks like it is just resting.

There is a caveat with this image, Annas Hummingbird 01. You see, this is my resident Anna’s Hummingbird. This male Anna’s Hummingbird lives in my backyard and drinks from my Hummingbird feeder. In my photograph it is taking flight off of its favorite perch. From that branch it looks after its Hummingbird feeder and scares away any other Hummingbird that gets near it. Precisely what it is doing in this photograph.

I have to give credit to my wife as she is the one that found this Slug on a Mushroom. We definitely like Banana Slugs way more than anyone else you know. She also really loves Mushrooms so I’m glad that she likes at least one of my photos.

It’s been abnormally foggy up in Northern California but with rain headed this way I decided to get out and at least try to take photos before the rain arrives. I came up with a plan to visit a wildlife area about an hour and a half from where I live. I thought maybe that would be far enough to get away from the fog. However, I was wrong. Very wrong.

The fog had cleared up when I got through a mountain pass but I could tell in the distance that the valley I was headed to was already getting a fresh blanket. I had driven for over an hour at that point so I decided to trek on and just see what I was dealing with. Upon arriving I knew that photography was going to be a struggle in the foggy conditions but I thought that worst case scenario I would have an enjoyable walk. Which it was.

The fog was very thick and the lack of wildlife sounds was a bit ominous. One cool thing that I kept experiencing was hearing a strange gust of wind getting closer to me and then all of a sudden a flock of blackbirds would fly overhead. The sound that they made while flying towards me was very surreal since I couldn’t see them until the flock was about fifty feet away.

Luckily, I did spot a few Mule Deer through the fog at a couple of locations. I knew that these silhouette shots would at least make for some interesting Nature Content for you to enjoy.

I generally don’t compliment myself, but I must say that this is a very good photograph.

I like any Mushroom that includes Bonett in the name.
