And here’s a bard owl, who just fought off some crows trying to attack her nest, which happens to be in our giant silver maple. We sure hope she’s tough enough to protect those eggs until they hatch. Yes, focusing on the small rewards is

This is one of our new avian friends, a wood duck that’s made its home hyper locally.... #birds #birdsofinstagram #nikonphotography #nikon #birdsphotography #wildlifephotography #best_birds_of_world

The moon was back last night, before the clouds rolled in.... #astralphotography #moon #notquitesupermoon #nikonnofilter #nikon #nikonphotography

Some local trails are closed. So I went a little deeper and found... solitude. Something we all need no matter the cause of the noise.

My wife, Karla, has been doing a lot of stress biscotti-ing lately. I wish I thought this was a bad thing, but, like that old joke.....a guy walks into a psychiatrist's office and says, hey doc, my brother's crazy! He thinks he's a chicken. Then the

The moon last night. It doesn’t hurt to gaze up in the sky for a little perspective.... #astralphotography #supermoon #notquitesupermoon

It’s obligatory that I post a Charles pic now and then. Here he’s happy for climate change (i.e. warmth six weeks earlier than normal). #catsofinstagram #cats

Ever want custom skis? Why not make your own at Parlor Custom Skis outside Boston? Read my piece on going to ski-making school @Coolhunting. It’s fun, creative, and you learn a ton about why going bespoke can elevate your confidence no matter w

Vasco de Gamma poses with his favorite toy, our modified scratching post re-roped with old climbing cord. It’s far tougher than the shoddy, stringy floss that the pet store sells, and it’s a good use of a thread that’s saved your as

Enough with the turkey! Can we please skip straight to Karla’s PIE??!! #verythankful

Sometimes delayed gratification is worth it: like when your awesome wife bakes you BOTH ginger snaps and chocolate chip-espresso shortbread cookies for your birthday, celebrated a few days after the fact since you had to go to an inconveniently timed

This is absolutely NOT an EV. It’s the new Audi RS6 Avant, a 591hp monster that happens to be a wagon. If you don’t love wagons that’s your problem, not mine. #automobilityla #laautoshow2019 @coolhunting #crossoversarentcool #audius

Here’s the Ford Mach e, electric “Mustang.” We won’t know how much of a success it is for over a year, but Ford needed a moon shot and unlike some efforts that have put EVs into a niche (some would say worse things), making th

Here’s the electric Mini. Doesn’t it look like...a Mini? That’s exactly the point. There’s zero compromise on space inside. But I want to drive it before promising it performs Mini-ish. They’re pricing it really aggress

Here are a few shots from the LA Auto Show. This is the new Land Rover Defender. It looks pretty fantastic in person and is surely going to be a serious hit. It’s one of those touchstone vehicles that, luckily, the designers seriously sweated h
