| Buckeye Leaves - Marin County 2026 |
Top photo taken with an iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Bottom one with an Olympus E-M10 / Lumix 12-60mm lens combo. Pretty old, as such digital things go, but actually still quite serviceable. Light weight, too.

| Doveweed (Fairfax) - Marin County 2026 |
 |
| Broken Fence, Barbed Wire (Fairfax) - Marin County 2026 |
"Doveweed or turkey mullein (Croton setiger) is a low growing, native annual that thrives in dry, disturbed, open places . . . Even from a distance it can be recognized by the low, tidy mounds of pale green foliage, themselves evenly spaced out into large patches and fields."
Hanna noticed the Doveweed first. I continue to be intrigued by old fences and fenceposts.

| Raccoon - Lake Lagunitas 2026 |
Early Sunday morning. Scampered away from the photographer and climbed up a tree.

| Alder Trunks - Point Reyes 2026 |
 |
| California Buckthorn - Point Reyes 2026 |
Stopping by the Coast Camp trailhead area. I was able to use the Nikon Z7II for the alder photo . . . it's not that suitable for wet weather so hadn't brought it out for Limantour photos (Olympus has better weather-sealing).
The iPhone was able to identify the California Buckthorn - note how wet the leaves are

| Bishop Pine Trunk - Point Reyes 2026 |
 |
| Bishop Pine Needles - Point Reyes 2026 |
There's a collection of Bishop Pines near the parking lot. I was using an Olympus E-M1II with a small 25mm (prime) lens equipped with an extended rubber lens hood used in wet weather.
