We hung up our hats and leaned them against the wall. The hoe’s got arthritis, the rake’s got regrets. Ain’t no song in the shed, just the echo of work and the smell of old wood.
I'm ready for spring. 🥶

Sulphur Tuft (Hypholoma fasciculare) - decomposer thriving on buried wood. Bitter, clustered, and ecologically fierce. TOXIC☠️ but vital: breaks down lignin, suppresses rivals, recycles forest nutrients. Chemical defense, communal strategy.

Parasola plicatilis. Arose from damp grass like ghostly parasols, gills fanned wide in radial symmetry. Ephemeral beings, here and gone in a single breath of sunlight. By dusk, their caps will melt into inky black nothingness.

Dragonflies belong to the order Odonata, which also includes damselflies. These insects are known for their long, slender bodies, large compound eyes, and two pairs of transparent wings. I like the iridescent ones! Loc: #SparrowhawkMountain #Oklahoma #CherokeeNation #Naturalist #photography #Chata
Here is a black and white version of the *Cirsium altissimum*, or tall thistle, that I shared in color yesterday. The strong winds of a tornado flattened its long stems. #SparrowhawkMountain GPS: 35.958818, -94.902502. #tornadoalley #oklahoma #cherokeenation #nativeplants

Cabbage Looper caterpillar larvae. #SparrowhawkMountain, #Oklahoma. Found this little terrorist chillin' in a raised bed. Neat color, but transitioning soon into a lovely white moth. Destructive little rascals! #cabbagelooper #naturalist #SamsungS23 #cellphotography #insects #gardening 🐛🦋🌿
