We have moved to a new place, a place I want to be.

Similarly, Western skunk cabbage (Lysichiton americanus) grows in the Pacific Northwest, in moist swampy spots.

It is strange, people can be so absolutely horrible, infuriating, or just negligently incompetent. But at other times, and usually with other people, it is all love, joy, sharing, and compassion. It is hard not to get sucked into the negativity. Nurturing the good stuff is what I strive to do.

The Pleated Inkcap, Parasola plicatilis, a delicate little mushroom that just came up in the yard in some disturbed soil, after a few days of rain. #mushrooms #fungsky #fungi #nature

have any good resource links for learning this skill?

What a gorgeous beetle. And excellent photography! I wonder what insect has the highest percent by volume thorax? I know the head is partially tucked in the thorax in this beetle. Perhaps the highest percent by volume abdomen in insects belongs to the queens of certian termites.
