Trees & rocks. 🥾
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.
Praying Mantis on the grapevine. 🐝
Patecones are 👌🍴
Worth the tens cents for the bag. 🐈
Flu shot season!
The Annie Cat enjoying her heated bed that comes out every fall. 🐈
Another very good Praying Mantis hanging out in my front yard. 🐝
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. 🐝
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? 🤷♂️🌳
Good morning!
Piano repair in Flatiron.
This crisp very low IBU Montauk Summer Ale is what I needed this warm late summer evening on Long Island, NY.
Love how Mott Street in China Town (Manhattan) curves out of sight like a movie set.
I wanted all of the knishes.
