@tairawhitidoc.bsky.social@tairawhitidoc.bsky.socialHe DOES look young. Kinda even more how he carries himself.
@tairawhitidoc.bsky.socialWe are traveling from Claremont, CA to Gisborne. We’ve got one remaining flight of our ONT-PDX-YVR-AKL-GIS marathon and then we’ll be HOME. I feel like absolute 💩. SO 💩y in fact I did not even have the energy to give Simeon Brown a piece of my mind when he walked right past me just now.
@tairawhitidoc.bsky.socialExt in my 2-part series of amazing birds riding the wind is this Pelican I filmed today at Huntington Beach, CA.

@tairawhitidoc.bsky.socialMuir Woods giants (Redwoods). The blue fringe around the canopy is not an artifact, I’m not sure what it is but I think it’s related to branches in shadow as the early sun hits from an angle over the hills. I like to think it’s a glimpse at the halos/auras of these amazing organisms.
