Just for the record, this is a personal blog for a handful of people (ok, mostly me these days), and we don’t do sponsored posts or guest posts or anything like that.
It probably wouldn’t have the reach to help your SEO anyway.

Full Halo
A full 22-degree circular halo spotted today, caused by sunlight refracting through ice crystals in the thin cloud layer. (It was around 65F at ground level.)
These halos are about the same width as a 1x photo on my phone (and most point-and-shoot cameras I’ve had), so I used the wide angle mode to catch the whole thing and then crop it down. I bumped up the saturation a little, but otherwise it’s unprocessed.

Some people still wear masks, sometimes.
And some people still get covid, sometimes.
And memory of the 2020-2021 lockdown continues to fade.
Lizards on the Fence
~95% of lizards I’ve spotted since joining iNaturalist have been Western Fence Lizards. (Occasionally they’ve even been on fences.)
Once I found one that was identified as a Great Basin Fence Lizard!
When I looked it up, it turned out to be a subspecies of Western Fence Lizards.
Entradero Basin: Spring and Fall
The flood control basin has been partly restored for stormwater infiltration and as habitat for native plants and migrating waterfowl, bounded by a city park on one side, baseball fields on the other, and hills all around. The city is currently expanding the basin while the water level is low.
