Just some photos I took this afternoon on a walk in a bit of the former Fort Ord, an army base active from 1917 to 1994. The highlight of the stroll was hearing great horned owls converse as the light started to fade. I took a video, but I don't believe it will transfer here. The last picture in this array shows two owls sitting together on a power pole. They're just dots, but I know they're there.
The image quality is poor: it's an iPhone. If I shot in RAW and fooled around with the images, they'd be better, but I don't want to fill my phone storage. I know the iPhone camera has improved (I have a 13; the 16 is supposed to be very decent), but really, I would like to get back to using a real camera. I recently bought a small fixed-lens job that I have yet to start getting to know. So... that's one of my resolutions for the coming year: return to real photography. At least occasionally. Once a month, pack up my gear and head out to see what I see? It sounds possible. And, more important, enjoyable.

There's lots of construction going on hereabouts,
and I always enjoy checking out the heavy machinery. |
