Heartbreaking but maybe you’ll break thru

These are great! There’s a little bee visiting one of the flowers in the first image, too

Shout out to our Sonoran vecinos del sur who have absolutely perfected the hot dog. Everything about a Sonoran hot dog is better than the American variety, but especially the bun.

I really like this Loewe Artichoke bag but I’m gonna have to start a gofundme to buy it for Rachel for Mother’s Day.

A view from the Old Ripsey Mine near Kearny, AZ. Nice jeep ride today.

Love it!

Thanks!

They forage. She leads them around but they feed themselves. They hatch all ready to go and bop around like popcorn. They are “precotial” which means they hatch in a developed state and can immediately start running around and can feed themselves.

We definitely had an unusually mild winter here. Zero freezing days where we normally get a few / several days in the 30s.

I think so, yes. They just go about their normal business and pop by the nest periodically to lay eggs then when they are ready they sit on the nest until they hatch out. It’s very common to come across an unattended nest.

Thanks!

No it’s just a hobby. I get lucky more than anything. Thanks!

Yeah I know the feeling
