Happy Easter for those who celebrate! 🐣 Follow up to my haiku yesterday for pollinator and native plant fans out there. Adding a few more spring pollinator photos I used for an Instagram carousel. Can only add 3 photos at a time on Bluesky, correct?

A macro profile view of a single Yellow Trout Lily in the Big Thicket National Preserve. The sunlight captures the translucency of the vibrant yellow petals and the reddish-brown vertical stripes on their underside. The flower's long green stem and yellow-tipped anthers are in sharp focus against a soft, blurred background of fallen forest debris. Found in Martin Dies Jr. State Park / Big Thicket National Preserve.

A close-up, low-angle shot of three Yellow Trout Lilies blooming among fallen brown leaves in the Big Thicket National Preserve. The bright yellow petals curve elegantly backward, revealing delicate orange-yellow stamens. The foreground shows the distinctive green leaves with mottled, trout-like brown spots. In the background, a pinecone sits among the leaf litter, grounding the scene in a diverse forest floor. Found in Martin Dies Jr. State Park / Big Thicket National Preserve.

Stumbled upon an ancient colony of Yellow Trout Lilies - Erythronium Americanum. There were hundreds packed into a tiny 100 sq. ft. area. Due to their very slow spread, this patch may be older than me

Partridge pea (Chamaecrista fasciculata) in bloom, showing bright yellow petals and a dark nectar guide that attracts native bees. A tough Texas native that thrives in open, sunlit ground. #PartridgePea #TexasWildflowers #NativePlants #PollinatorPlants #MacroPhotography

Photos of little pools of rain accumulating the center of the five leaf Bluebonnet. The other three photos are similar just different angles and

I love the way the rain accumulates in the #bluebonnets creating little pooled jewels.

A close-up of a wild Partridge Pea flower (Chamaecrista fasciculata), glowing golden-yellow against a softly blurred green forest background. The delicate red nectar guides near the stamens attract native bees and butterflies, symbols of pollinator diversity in the #BigThicket region of Southeast Texas. Its feathery, fern-like leaves and natural symmetry make it a favorite subject for #macro and #nature photography, capturing the quiet brilliance of native wildflowers in late summer light.

A little color to brighten up your Saturday morning. I like this picture I think it’s pretty.

A blue-winged wasp (Scolia dubia) with shimmering iridescent wings clings to a cluster of spotted bee balm (Monarda punctata). The layered bracts are pale green and white, tipped with speckled yellow flowers that attract pollinators in late summer. Native to Southeast Texas, this wildflower is a magnet for beneficial insects like the blue-winged wasp, which feeds on nectar while its larvae help control beetle grubs in the soil. The photo highlights the balance of beauty and function in native plants and pollinator ecology.

Although Bee Balm is native to Southeast Texas this picture was actually taken at the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum

Spring Garden Tour
The buffalo grass is in.
Texas wildflowers are taking over—and I’m quietly thrilled.
The garden is alive, but it’s a little chaotic.
Thankfully, family has been nearby to help keep the weeds in check.
It’s not perfect, but it’s growing.

Like the knee bone connected to the hip bone, mother nature needs connections to thrive, like humans need each other

remnants of revolution
sky wielding a craving
rattling bones, skin peeling
moments beyond
the concept of agony
holds the promise to win
