Mount Lassen. 🥾
I neglected to post a photo of Lassen National Park’s Brokeoff Mountain. The hike to its summit was 👌🥾
I love a sun-dappled wet meadow with accenting volcanic rocks! Yesterday, on the trail to Brokeoff Mountain in Lassen National Park.🥾
Today: Mount Lassen from Brokeoff Mountain.🥾
A front yard native garden update! Fuchsias & Cal Buckwheat are still flowering. Coyote bushes are struggling to flower (tiny pollinators love them). The Blue Oak has no complaints. Poppies & yarrow are back after a couple of soggy thunderstorms. Toyon barely has berries.
Thankful Apple still allows a different iTunes account for app purchases as Apple STILL provides no mechanism to share app subscriptions & in-app purchases (I’d gladly add a buck or so for a family app subscriptions)! 💻
Praying Mantis on the grapevine. 🐝
Patecones are 👌🍴
Worth the tens cents for the bag. 🐈
Flu shot season!
Apple knew what they were doing delaying Deep Fusion photography feature in iPhone 11. After I saw real world results, I needed to upgrade from my blurry XS. Garden and cat pictures will be amazing. Deep Fusion certainly kept the iPhone 11 in the news cycle longer.
The Annie Cat enjoying her heated bed that comes out every fall. 🐈
Another very good Praying Mantis hanging out in my front yard. 🐝
Oh cool. The exercise trigger for iOS 13.1.2 Shortcuts finally started working today.
This Preying Mantis (or others like her) has been hanging out on one of our California wild grape vines for a few days now. It’s lovely to have critters take refuge in our plants. 🐝
Using iOS 13 shortcuts & iPad home screen widget to set audio output to my airplay capable Sonos speaker and then immediately play music are all I ever needed. Using control center to change audio output is 👎
California Wild Rose (Rosa californica) flowers are incredibly fragile. This backyard plant became quite happy when I added it to the drip irrigation.🐞
This “Beauty” Japanese plum has been quite temperamental. No idea if it should be defoliated by now - happened last year too. Too much water? Sensitive to daylight time? 🤷♂️🌳
My new favorite watch face, from WatchOS 6, is Solar Dial. I’m often outdoors for work so at a glance view of the sun ephemeris is nice. Apple put a lot of effort on this watch face!
Good morning!
