Security Fence
Tubac, Arizona
2023

Adding a string of Ocotillo branches is a surefire way to add security to a fence at low cost. I’ve seen ocotillo branches like this used as standalone fencing, which is as secure but doesn’t offer as much privacy.

Roadside Diner
Dworshak Dam, Idaho
2023

Walking along the road, we noticed several guardrail posts with partially dismantled and eaten pine cones. Why the local squirrels liked to haul pine cones up to those particular spots to eat is a mystery to me. Maybe they did it for the view.

The Whale
Yachats, Oregon

This oddly shaped log looked very much like a whale to me, and was about the size of an orca to boot.
