Dad and software engineer. Live in southern CA; like running and beer

Me, dressed in a Jesus costume. Or is it a doctor costume?
Looking north along the Snake River; Oregon to the left, Idaho on the right. The river is undammed here and flowing free through Hells Canyon at the feet of the Seven Devils mountain range (Idaho side)
Snake River; surface still as glass, reflecting hills on the Oregon side of the river. Hills green with spring grass; overcast sky looks like snow when reflected in the water.
Crowd of people holding signs in Bixby Park, Long Beach, CA. Blue Sky with wisps of cloud; green grass; some palm trees and a whole bunch of anti-fascists
Two cats, cuddled up on a bed
Suspension bridge pillar and cables in front of a deep blue sky; snow capped San Gabriel mountains in the distance.
Chart showing monthly encounters on the southwest border since 2017, showing that the Biden administration was apprehending 300,000 people per month and Trump only about 10,000 people.
Two brown and white cats cuddled together, legs intertwined, on a green arm chair
Backlit trees along Aliso Creek Trail
The best black cat; sitting in a bathroom sink.
A large green beetle with yellow wingtips sitting on some leaves
Lower falls of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone in the distance and the Yellowstone River winding between sulfur-colored cliffs. Pine trees in the foreground frame the majestic view.
Screenshot of Apple News showing the San Francisco Chronicle headline "In-N-Outs billionaire boss leaving California: Doing business is not easy here" with a photo of (presumably) rich assholes posing at some media event.
View of the Pacific ocean between two Sandstone cliffs
San Clemente State Beach. Waves crashing from the left on a sandy beach; my footprints show where I've been. Sandstone cliffs rise above the beach. No wonder the ancients worshiped here at the junction of earth and sea and sky
The runner looks ahead at the dirt trail curving up and to the right into the distance. Wild grasses, green from recent rains, blanket the ground to either side. At the bend in the trail stands a giant live oak tree with branches spread wide across the trail and reaching for the heavens.
California hillside covered in wildflowers, with a bush of yellow flowers in the foreground. Cloudy sky threatens the horizon with doom and gloom, but the brilliant flowers appear to be fending it off with their own magical light.
Wooden sculptures of an adult bear and a baby bear, roughly carved (I think with a chainsaw) behind a sign reading “Oso Creek Trail”. The baby bear is reaching for a beehive.
