Beautiful 😍

Thank you! 😊

An orange and black design covers the wings of a tiny butterfly like stained glass windows.

Black and yellow wings and orange antennae grace this tiny butterfly.

The Variable Checkerspot (Euphydrayas calcedona) is everywhere in Mt. Diablo State Park in northern California, as we celebrate spring with an abundance of beautiful pollinator-attracting wildflowers.

Watching the Integrity capsule bob in ocean reminded me of R2D2...with happy birthday balloons! 🤣🤣🤣

Mt. Diablo Globe Lilies are compact, drooping yellow blossoms that look like tiny fairy lanterns

Oneleaf onion blossoms are light purple six-petaled stars

The blossoms of the California Pitcher Sage are white and bell-shaped and have green sepals with sharply pointed edges

The dark purple and white blossoms of Innocence (known earlier as Chinese Houses) are plentiful along the flowers stalk

Mitchell Canyon in Mt. Diablo State Park in northern California displayed an abundance of wildflowers in bloom during this week's nature walk. #nature #nativeplants #wildflowers #spring #naturephotography #bloomscrolling #blossoms #photography #mtdiablostatepark #californianativeplants

Pale purple/blue Blue Dicks hang from a stem like tiny umbrellas

Bright yellow California Buttercups rise on a green stem

The delicate yellow and green Fairy Lantern looks just like its name, hanging from green stems

The bright purple Shooting Star looks like a purple-fringed rocket ship pointed down

Pale purple/blue Blue Dicks, bright yellow California Buttercups, delicate yellow Mt. Diablo Fairy Lanterns and purple Shooting Stars are a few of the wildflowers in Northern California.

Lovely description! Thank you.

I doubt that we would put up with that! It is so magical. 🌲

They look like tiny landscape paintings 🖼

When the trolls came to Filoli in northern California. Love them! #trolls #ThomasDambo #filoli

Thank you! 😊

These three airlines need public pressure not to comply with ICE deportations:
Hawaiian +1-800-367-5320
Alaskan +1-800-252-7522
Southwest +1-800-435-9792

These three airlines “declined to comment” on their agreements with ICE. Tell them what you think:
Delta +1-800-221-1212
American +1-800-433-7300
United +1-800-864-8331

Apparently, some US airlines are complying with ICE to enable the silent deportation of detainees, often without legal counsel. Many innocents (children, the adopted, the vulnerable) are being swept up, detained under inhumane conditions, and then dumped in a foreign country! See below for numbers:

For #spiderSunday, a Western Lynx Spider (Oxyopes scalaris) taking a little nappie on my rose bush leaf. Lots of yummy buggies to eat nearby. Eat up, big guy! #spiders #insects

Too adorable not to post. She's making sure you see the sign.

For #Flyday, a little Diamond Spottail (Fazia micrura), a native hover fly on the blossoms of a Wooly Lamb's-ear (Stachys byzantina), a non-native but very soft and furry plant.

I bought 7 more at my local used book store and hubby asked why I bought more books since I have a growing pile of not yet reads, plus I belong to a book club (more books) and get them from the library (more books). I told my friend about how he was incredulous and we both said, "They're books!"
