Such a delicate little Virginia Spring Beauty.
Visiting Ohio and the wildflowers are just so wonderful right now.

Yes. Art is loving people enough to cast a light in the dark.

This is a photo of native yellow toadflax.

I love our native yellow toadflax. It is a bright yellow in late fall here in Minnesota. The very last flower to bloom

The turkeys are very healthy, here in Minnesota.

I am a Minnesotan. Unfortunately, both perspectives apply.

They are safe as there is no turkey hunting in city limits and there are many fewer natural predators in the city.

Petals of creamy sunshine✨❤️

Great!!

How unfair. These veterans served our nation. We, as a nation, must respect and support them!

Thank you for trying to get to the core of this coverup for the sake of these survivors 🙏
