Proud of my kid's (yearly) award.

 Binghamton U Nature Preserve, 14 October 2021.

Pristine and pricey, but not bad for my student's dorm desk.

Life is short, so I have to make do with this rearing tikbalang-tikbalangan brat who can't deliver the little one that I wish would fit. Ficus microcarpa "Round Leaf Green Island" in training. Happy Halloween!

"Learning the Ropes"

More settled back after an 8-month TDY, I see that this old guy deserves another shot. Ficus microcarpa "Green Island". Isla Verde! By the crossing on the way home!

"Claiming the Mission"

A clearing inside 18th century Kuta Church, Anilao, Bongabong

 Gotta enjoy the last days of summer.

Binghamton dorm room shohin ficus. No, Mr. B, she did all these herself. No ugly elvie under the banyan too!

Another eBay deal. 8" brass replica of a Mindoro hawk-owl or boobok (Ninox mindorensis), $5.

eBay find. Anoa mindorensis cow and calf wood carving, polished workmanship, $12.

Work inbox, 1/7/21. Phase 1B (first responders/LE) in NY get a perk. Even if I wasn't at the Dome. And words to live by from the commissioner. Four years more with the agency!
