Just a handsome boi #PiTheCat wishing you a wonderful Wednesday. #berkeleyadventures

Anyone got status updates on #EmigrantWilderness this week (post-labor day)? Will be exploring it soon. Trail conditions, mosquito levels, water levels, etc. Thanks! #berkeleyadventures

No matter how many years I have been teaching, no matter how well I know the material, I am always anxious the night before my first day of class. 🤪 #berkeleyadventures

Another series of moments if you need them. I sure did. #YosemiteNationalPark #berkeleyadventures

If you need a moment, here are a few of mine. I hope you enjoy. (I have a ton from a few days of total peace, and I will keep sharing). #YosemiteNationalPark #berkeleyadventures

Yosemite, I’ve just met you, but I think I’m in love with you. #YosemiteNationalPark #berkeleyadventures

Heat waves, fires, and hurricanes. So much going on. In case we need a little light on this #Caturday, here is a comforting little #PiTheCat #berkeleyadventures

Happy but totally goofy sunspot boi.

And did you want to see the mama grizzly and her three cubs amongst the wildflowers in Yellowstone? Clearly. She was my first griz. The most magical moment I could have ever hoped for. #YellowstoneNationalPark #Bear #berkeleyadventures

Did you want a little more of the cute young black bear I saw in the Tetons? Sure. Here you go. #Bear #GrandTetonNationalPark #berkeleyadventures

Working 3 jobs. Paychecks come late. Bills come early. I’m just so tired. But at least there are kitten cuddles to melt all the cares away. #Caturday #PiTheCat #berkeleyadventures

For someone who loves #microbes 🦠 and #color, this was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been privileged to experience. #GrandPrismatic #YellowstoneNationalPark #berkeleyadventures

Good morning! Who got “nearly bumping into a buck at the base of the stairs” on this morning’s bingo?
The chickens tried to tell me. Like pointer dogs they all had their necks craned in the deer’s direction and were super tall. #BackyardCritters #berkeleyadventures

And some days you dig. My upper body tells me that I don’t typically use it this often. Mom and pop killdeer are still tending the little nest of 4 eggs. #fieldwork #berkeleyadventures

So many wildflowers this year I can clear an entire bouquet from the walkway alone! Ha ha! And so many pollinators! ☺️ #BackyardBlooms #berkeleyadventures

New coop is finally complete! The girls are exploring it (though it helps to leave a trail of blueberries). Old cramped, falling apart prefab coop in second pic. #BackyardChickens #berkeleyadventures

Redwood #NationalPark is always an experience. So glad I was able to share this with my dad. #berkeleyadventures #RNP

Also, something is in the works… #BackyardChickens #berkeleyadventures

Did you need more pink from my yard? Probably. #BackyardBlooms #berkeleyadventures

The song sparrows and the towhees are rearing this year’s chicks as part of my chicken flock. Oh dear. #BackyardCritters #berkeleyadventures
