It was funny watching this little squirrel ducking and dodging with the peanut in his mouth. A blue jay had been swooping down and stealing his peanuts. (they are beautiful birds, but are such bullies). He managed to escape...nut intact only to bury it in the snow. I guess he'll find it in the spring.
Two years ago things looked a little different up here. Now it's down to the field archaeologists to decide what happened.
As for the film it's still not made the screens yet but will do next month . Keep watching right to the end and don't blink or you'll miss it !

We walked past this community building at the Mission playground last weekend. The murals in the front was eyecatching. I stopped and took a snapshot with my Canon point and shoot.
Number: CT-0920/21
Nickname: Farr
Rank: ARC Sergeant Grade I
1st Regiment of the 253rd Legion
///Log Entry\\\
For our first mission in the 253rd, we had gotten our orders from General Kenobi himself that we were to mount up and take on the oncoming IG-Series Lancer Droids that were racing towards our artillery line in front of the city. So I told my squad to form up and get ready.
I decided to have two of my troops take on the Seps on Lancer bikes while me and the other two continued on foot. I still need to give them names so bare with me until my next log.
As we got to the main battle area, we realized that most of them were already taken out except for a few droids. So I took my trusty sniper out and gunned out about 7-8 of them.
One of my troopers quickly said : "Great shooting sergeant." - "Thanks," I replied.

We went to Goliad Friday afternoon to check out the luminarias at Mission Espíritu Santo in Goliad State Park. We only saw a couple of people there, so waitng until after Christmas was probably the thing to do to avoid the crowds. We had been to the park at Christmas a couple of years ago, but at the time I did not know about the luminarias they lit for the season. If you'd like more info on the park, check out their website at tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/goliad.

April 22, 2023: Spent part of Earth Day visiting the La Purisima Mission State Historic Park in Lompoc, California. As stated on a sign, "Across this bridge lies California's eleventh mission and a glimpse of life during the 1820's. The Civilian Conservation Corps restored the buildings and grounds between 1934-1941."
The Cotentin Peninsula, June 1944
"Mission Albany was the opening step to Operation Neptune, in which 6,928 paratroopers of the 101st Airborne division made their jumps from 443 C-47 Skytrain troop carrier planes into the southeast corner of the Cotentin Peninsula, roughly five hours ahead of the D-day landings. The airborne landings themselves were a complete failure with some units landing as far away as 20 miles (32km) from their designated drop zones. The mission itself was a success with the division taking most of its objectives on D-Day, but it required four days to consolidate its scattered units and complete its mission of securing the left flank and the rear of the U.S. VII Corps."

Currently working on a couple other scenes, so you can probably expect those in the future and I may upload an overview of this build later on, because the house pictured in this scene has to be one of my best builds yet.
As always C&C is appreciated and TFVAHAGD!
It was totally a surprise. I stopped by Mission bay park with my daughter. She had a class in Mission Valley. The class began at 6 pm. We had two hours for a break. She chose to catch Pokemon at the park. The sun was setting when we arrived there and was completely blocked by a huge cloud wall over the ocean. I thought it might be a boring sunset. Suddenly, the sky changed colors and turned red, like on fire in a short time. I immediately ran back to my car, grabbed my camera, hand held it and took some shots. I noticed there was a boat dock in the distance, right behind Hilton hotel. I ran as fast as I can to that spot and took this picture. What a gorgeous sunset!
Today is door and window day. This is one I thought I posted almost a year ago but I hadn't. So here's a door at the historic Mission Inn in Riverside, California.

EXPLORED APRIL 25 2009
From the forgotten Texas road trip.
Known as the "Queen of the Missions", this is the largest of the missions and was almost fully restored to its original design in the 1930s by the WPA. Spanish missions were not churches, but communities, with the church the focus. Mission San José shows the visitor how all the missions might have looked over 250 years ago.

WALLOPS ISLAND, VA – NASA successfully launched five suborbital sounding rockets this morning from its Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia as part of a study of the upper level jet stream.
The first rocket was launched at 4:58 a.m. EDT and each subsequent rocket was launched 80 seconds apart.
Each of the rockets released a chemical tracer that created milky, white clouds at the edge of space. The launches and clouds were reported to be seen from as far south as Wilmington, N.C.; west to Charlestown, W. Va.; and north to Buffalo, N.Y.
The Anomalous Transport Rocket Experiment (ATREX) mission will gather information needed to better understand the process responsible for the high-altitude jet stream located 60 to 65 miles above the surface of the Earth.
More information on the ATREX mission is available on the Internet at: www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/sunearth/missions/atrex.html

Protector-312
Rank: ARC Sergeant
Nickname: Shogun
253rd legion, Pride of Mandalore
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//The gunship doors slid shut as killi hoisted himself onboard. The engine roared as the bird glided off, narrowly missing blaster shots. Shogun looked behind, mourning all that was lost. The troopers stood silently in the cabin, still in shock. Only interrupted by the voice of the pilot cackling on the com.
“New orders straight from the general, we’re heading 3 clicks north to the jedi temple.”
“Why? There’s nothing there.”
“Apparently, whatever attacked Bravo base ran in there.”
Shogun glanced at his squad. Then glanced back.
“Members of the 501st legion have already begun searching, they say the assailant has files on some ‘Ulic Qel-Droma’”
“Ulic Qel-Droma.”
After a period of silence, the gunship landed in the snow, sending a ripple of snow off of the cliff’s face. The doors of the gunship slid open, revealing shogun along with his men. Shogun stepped into the snow, sinking into the ground, and paused as his eyes dilated to the sea of white all around.
Shogun gestured with his hands. Corvus squad moved out.
Blunt walked into the temple, becoming drenched in darkness. He stepped in, eyes adjusting as he walked. He activated the floodlights on his helmet, along with the rest of his squad. He looked around, then paused and glanced into the abyss. Shogun was soon to follow, shifting to his right with visible confusion. Was that, laughter? Wind? Or silence.
A loud “CRASH!”
Shogun and his men stood still, paralised in fear. His hand shifted into a fist, signalling his men to move out. They dashed towards the origin of the sound, still echoing against the cavern walls. Shogun stopped, recognizing two members of the 501st standing straight ahead, then, he noticed something else. Directly above the troopers, a black cloaked figure, perched on the neck of a leaning statue.
“Troopers! Above you!”
The two troopers slightly arched back, not even having time to see the crimson red blade that sliced both heads clean off their bodies. The glowing blade retracted into the handle, along with the figure to the shadows. Shogun ran towards the bodies, necks still smoking from the heat of the saber, then looked towards the ground. Footsteps.//
