Nature don't care. It's the honey badger.

like the birds we are acculturated to the Beltway. Now that it's leafed out, the perpetual rumble is subdued, but even with failing ears I can still hear the maniac on his crotch rocket, and semi drawing on its turbo

The crotch rocket maniac is sadly inescapable. I imagine that, frustrated with his inability to awaken the very old with his unmuffled deathwish of an engine, he probably makes hospital calls, running down the ICU hallways, throwing open doors & scattering glitter.

Hannah, it's a vulture. flattened V-shaped wing spread, rocking on the axis of its flight...

Oof, thanks. That’s right, I always forget -- V for Vulture. 😁 Hope you’re having a good Memorial Day!

What a wonderous Wandering! Nature in its glory, despite the traffic, with an osprey (yes!), sunsets, and YOU! And also some history of the Contrabands and Freedmen, more heroic people. Thanks!

This was so beautiful 😭 thank you! Just the reminder I needed today. At least half of my daily run is along a path that is directly under the concrete pillars that hold up the BART tracks, but there is so much wonder under those screaming tracks!

That sounds amazing! If you ever want to talk about it, let me know -- I’d love to interview you or have you write a guest post or whatever you’re comfortable with on the nature you see on your run. So glad you liked this!

I drive that bridge all the time. It's wonderful to see it through your eyes.

Aw, thanks Jonathan. It’s so cool what they did with the bridge -- we should walk it sometime.

So beautiful. Perhaps my favorite kind of nature, too, the kind that will not behave…

Also lol the shade thrown at gnats. Ugly no matter what their moms say…
