I’m a dad, nerd, and go outside a lot.

A yoto mini kids sound player on a table, with the card for the Paw Patrol™ character Skye in my hand. Also visible on the table are the cards for Marshall and Rubble. A baby’s legs and feet are visible under the table. It’s a joke about the game SlyCards
Picture of a dusk sky with the planets Jupiter and Venus faintly visible, framed by trees on either side.
Two weleda baby products with similar shape and size. One is diaper cream and the other is toothpaste.
A toddler on a balance bike at the top of a small hill. Large dirt bike jumps tower over him. He’s little.
Screen grab from some degenerates cell phone video. It shows a red Honda with what appears to be a very good dog in the back passenger window.
Zee the dog, curled up on a blue sofa with a batteries wool blanked over the back. She is a black wiry haired dog with white boots and a glorious beard. She is 12 and naps most of the time these days.

A mittened right hand holding a Kestrel anemometer showing a wind chill of -6.9° Fahrenheit. Nice. In the background is a snowy scene.

A large caterpillar walking on a concrete floor. A man’s left hand appears, and the caterpillar is about the size of the index finger.
A screenshot of a google search for “largest caterpillars” with an AI overview summary explaining the larval stage of a moth. Beneath the text is a video purporting to show the larval caterpillar but is showing a Caterpillar D11 bulldozer.
Looking up two strands of rope against a granite rock wall. There are clouds in the sky and obvious rain falling. 🧗
Morning view of a very overgrown trail with jagged peaks in the background
A toddler wearing a blue and gray zip up fleece and brown pants has a hat with the Trails Magazine blaze logo on it, just obscuring his face. It’s way too big to fit his head but no matter.

A photo of a kindle paperwhite e-reading device with the cover of the summer blockbuster novel _Eruption_, started by Michael Crichton before his untimely death and finished by James Patterson. It’s a “page turner” for sure. If you missed the joke.
Looking up a just off hands size corner crack. There is the photographer’s gloved right hand in the crack.
Some rock outcroppings viewed from a distance. One rock face has a cross, with the horizontal being oust off level.

A green sea turtle swimming just above the ocean floor in murky waters. He’s got a Crush from Finding Nemo vibe, dude.
A small child crawling in front of an electrical receptacle, his finger in the grounding socket of the top outlet. It’s a safety outlet with covers on the hot and neutral sockets, his dad isn’t a monster.
A small human wearing a rash guard and a hat in the middle of a sea of grass with a pool and palm trees behind him. It’s a real island mood. He’s about to eat a handful of grass that his dad the photographer will later forcibly remove.
