It's a bird!
It's a plane!
No, it's Batcow!
Seems the big cow has donned a Batman outfit this week. I'd like to see him fit into the Batmobile.

Around here, quite a few people have been hanging C.D.'s in their vegetable gardens to keep the birds away. They are so gorgeous spinning in the sun that I would think it would attract birds. They sure attract me!!
Driving home today, there was heavy mist from those wildfires coming down from Canada. We are supposed to wear masks if outside. And apparently, even rain will not help it! The sky looked unusual.
Fire on the mountain? No, just clouds at sunset.

Think my color settings are a bit off? Not so. This is an extremely rare BROWN Panda named Qizai. He was found abandoned by his mother (who is black & white) at two months, and being bullied by other Pandas.
There are a very few other Brown Pandas, but Qizai is the only one in captivity. He now lives the life of Riley, with a keeper devoted to him 24/7. The mountains of Qinling are the only place these Pandas live. Qizai's head is smaller than a regular Panda, and his eye spots are only underneath his eyes. No one knows what causes this color.
P.S. Of course, all photos are from the web.
This weekend was the Full Strawberry Moon. It was beautiful! First, there's just the glow.
Then it rises.
“And the moon said to me - my darling daughter, you do not
have to be whole in order to shine.”

A balmy evening for a beautiful pink sunset. This was the real color! In order.
