Forever lost in the mists of time About the same time that English colonists first settled along the American Atlantic seaboard, Russian explorers, trappers, and settlers pushed east into Siberia and in 1639 reached the Pacific Ocean. It wasn't until 75 years later though that Tsar Peter the Great decided to define the geography of the North Pacific. The rapid growth of the fur trade drove Russian expansion into Alaska and down the North American Pacific coast. By the early 1800s, Russian entrepreneurs were exporting an average of 62,000 fur pelts from North America each year. This is a part of a faithful reconstruction of what I think is the southernmost fort of this Russian expansion, and is of course a Russian orthodox church. There is a cemetery outside the fence to the right. The fort is located on the coast in Sonoma County just north of where I live. The fur trade died, and the colony switched to agriculture. The number of Russian colonists started to decline over time, and merely 30 years after the establishment of the colony in 1842, the last colonist boarded a ship bound for Sitka. Russians left a California that was then not yet part of the USA, and the Russia they returned to, no longer exists in any meaningful sense. It's really hard to imagine the world at that time.

Naval fly by Fantastic timing, the ADM WM. M Callaghan was getting some maintenance done at Mare Island today, and being a military reserve ship, I couldn't really get very close. I'd resigned myself to this cropped shot, when an Osprey flew by, apparently to check it out too. Instantly making the shot 1000x more interesting. This ship is a year younger than me and has been involved in the Vietnam War, and in Afghanistan and Iraq, primarily in a logistics capacity. From Flickr - https://flic.kr/p/2mstK1A

Strangers in flight Strangers in flight Exchanging glances Wandering in flight What were the chances Aaah I love the classics. Nothing short of a miracle that I got two 2" long hummingbirds in flight, at least 20 feet above me. Dont be misled by those pine cones, they're tiny too. From Flickr - https://flic.kr/p/2mpRV3v

A bird in the palm A humming bird inspecting a palm tree this morning. This is an Anna's Hummingbird, either a female or juvenile (help me out if you know). These hummingbirds migrated to South America until at least a decade ago, but now, because of all the gardens and feeders, they can feed all year long, and so stay here. Guiltily (I'm a feeder) I enjoy their company all year long, but know this is probably not a good thing. From Flickr - https://flic.kr/p/2mpdKV3

Black spot Fires start small, and if they're tackled immediately they end up looking like this, but of course, they can't always be stopped so quickly and turn into the catastrophic natural disasters that are raging elsewhere in the western USA now. This is why, even a grassfire like this, creates a huge reaction with several fire trucks, aircraft with fire retardants, and an evacuation of several blocks. Easy to think of it as an over-reaction, but better safe than sorry. The line through the middle is a deer track and of course didn't burn as there is nothing on it to burn. The oak trees (evergreen here so stay green through the drought months) will all survive. From Flickr - https://flic.kr/p/2mnQD4w

For whom the bells toll It was a perfect misty morning to visit such a sad memorial. 7-year-old Nicholas Green was shot by highwaymen (yes, really! Highwaymen!) while on holiday in Italy in 1994. His grief-stricken parents, in an effort to give meaning to this senseless tragedy, donated Nicholas' organs to seven Italian children who needed them. The gesture created a global spike in organ donation, and of course a great legacy for Nicholas, and a new life for these seven children and probably countless others. In a national show of remorse and gratitude, foundries across Italy produced 140 unique bells that were used in this very special memorial. Some bells have inscriptions in Italian, some in English, some in both, others with different motifs and scenes. I absolutely much return when the wind is blowing, I can only imagine what that sound must add to this already sober monument. From Flickr - https://flic.kr/p/2mnAhNk

What a deer family! A doe and two fawns, this afternoon. Another tortuously hot day. We had some fire drama yesterday with several streets just west of me being evacuated temporarily while fire crews took care of a grass fire. The evacuation area stopped just short of our street, so the displaced folks waited on our street, watching the smoke billowing along the ridge. Only two more dry months left, fingers-crossed.
