The Canada Goose is a large wild goose species with a black head and neck, white cheeks, white under its chin, and a brown body. Native to arctic and temperate regions of North America, its migration occasionally reaches northern Europe. It has been introduced to the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, Argentina, Chile, and the Falkland Islands.
Like most geese, the Canada goose is primarily herbivorous and normally migratory; it tends to be found on or close to fresh water.
Extremely successful at living in human-altered areas, Canada geese have proven able to establish breeding colonies in urban and cultivated areas, which provide food and few natural predators. The success of this common park species has led to its often being considered a pest species because of its depredation of crops and its noise, droppings, aggressive territorial behavior towards both humans and other animals, and its habit of begging for food (caused by human hand feeding).
The oldest known wild Canada Goose was a female, and at least 33 years, 3 months old when she was shot in Ontario in 2001. She had been banded in Ohio in 1969.

I've been re-visiting some of the sunset shots taken when I first got my new camera... which is quite a while ago now.
Turtles are unable to regulate their body temperatures independently, so they are completely dependent on the temperature of their environment. For this reason, they need to sunbathe frequently to warm themselves and maintain their body temperatures.
The red-eared slider gets its name from the small, red stripe around its ears, or where its ears would be, and from its ability to slide quickly off rocks and logs into the water.
Red-eared sliders are native to the Southern United States and northern Mexico, but have become established in other places because of pet releases, and have become an invasive species in many areas where they outcompete native species.
The carapace of this species can reach more than 40 cm (16 in) in length, but the typical length ranges from 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 in). The females of the species are usually larger than the males. They typically live between 20 and 30 years.

Crystal clear mirror images are infrequent on Donner Lake due to wind and boats. This image is from the January 2019 archives.

This handsome dude rode into town over the winter. He's the only grey squirrel in the neighborhood. He seems to be quite popular with all of the female black squirrels. The red squirrels are not so fond of this casanova but he's made quite an impression with the numerous beautiful black squirreled ladies. It will be interesting to see if this years babies will look more like mom or dad.

Bicycles
Although I don’t ride a bike, well not at least for 40 odd years, there is something satisfying about a bike. It’s solid, reliable (mainly), an art form, it has a place in our society, an environmental champion, a pleasure and a serious competitor.
There aren’t many things in life that fulfil those criteria, there will always be those detractors but for me the bike is a hero.

That's why whenever I come around

You should be on with me
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?
Don't cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me?
Don't cha?"

Don Edwards NWR features over 30,000 acres and is a critical component of protected habitats in the Pacific Flyway. Fifteen habitat types, more than 340 plant species and 280 bird species call the refuge home. Millions of shorebirds and waterfowl utilize the area during peak migrations. The refuge provides overwintering habitat for some of the largest concentrations of diving ducks in the Pacific Flyway. The lands operated and maintained by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in the bay area hold more wintering Canvasback than the rest of the state combined.
