Looking Out on the realm
Northern Mockingbirds (Mimus polyglottos) are highly territorial. This one perches atop a small pine tree, surveying the landscape below, likely on the lookout for prey.
Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.
Good morning.

I believe the barometric pressure is on the lower side of normal, which might contribute to the feeling of sleepiness. When the pressure drops, the air becomes less dense, so we inhale less oxygen with each breath. It’s fascinating, though I can’t claim to fully understand it. Many years ago, during college, I took a freshman course in Physical Geography. In that class, I learned about clouds, air currents, ocean currents, weather, rocks, and soil. While I’ve forgotten much of what I learned back then, I do remember why the Atlantic coast waters are warm and the Pacific coast waters are cold. After all these years, it’s amazing how the natural world continues to intrigue and inspire curiosity.

Few pics from yesterday.
I was just testing one idea I've had for a while, seeing if it "works" the way I've imagined and if I should proceed with that. I kinda like these and seems my vision could come to alive with bit more planning (and editing).
Inspiration was of course Taylor Swifts "I hate it here" lyrics:
"I hate it here so I will go to
secret gardens in my mind
People need a key to get to
The only one is mine"
