Text from a desk calendar reads Perhaps the most radical act of resistance in the face of adversity is to live joyfully. - Ari Honarvar

From the 7/3 desk calendar, rather appropriate:

Perhaps the most radical act of resistance in the face of adversity is to live joyfully.

Desk calendar quote from Sabrina Imbler "Imagine having the power to become resilient to all that is hostile to us."

From today's desk calendar. Appropriate timing of a quote for California and beyond...

Rainbow in the sky over storm clouds with the tops of trees showing

After the rain comes the rainbow, a hopeful message from nature during challenge times.
The rainbows never photograph with all of their bright colors.

Nemophila menziesii or baby blue eyes, a blue five petal wildflower with white center California wildflowers

Ranunculus californicus, California buttercup yellow wildflower

California wildflower, Shooting Star, also called mosquito bills or broad-leaved shooting star. Possibly Primula jeffreyi

First wildflowers found on the first day of spring, but posted a little later. Definitely a mood boost.

Sun breaking through the storm clouds with patches of blue sky

Sun trying to break through the storm clouds. Patches of blue sky and sun today during an otherwise stormy day.
I always feel more optimistic on the days when I can see the sun and the blue sky, even just small patches.

Upside-down American flag, a universal sign of distress, in front of a window for the Yosemite National Park support our parks March.

From the Yosemite National Park support the park, the rest of the National Parks, and the fired employees March 1, 2025.
An upsidedown flag that I crafted two dozen to pass out to others.

Grape hyacinth, ornamental pear blossoms, pink rose and fern fronds in a small bud vase

Sharing the bit of spring flowers that brought inside to brighten up the windowsill.
I'm needing more positive signs of spring and hope lately.

Grape hyacinth (Muscari) in the afternoon sun

Grape hyacinth (Muscari) from our yard because I need a reminder that spring is coming. Symbols of trust and hope, both of which are much needed now.

North Dome reflected in the Merced River on a winter day.

North Dome reflected in the Merced River from a recent visit to Yosemite National Park. On a clear day in Yosemite the sky always seems to be a brilliant shade of blue. 💙

Princess Diana rose, yellow with pink edging.

A Rose to provide a visual self care break and momentarily relief from the chaos. This one is from October when the Princess Diana rose was still blooming. One of my favorite color combinations.

Probably a Ipomoea indica or blue morning glory, which in this case is actually purple.

A recent flower photo. This morning-glory flower looked to be the only part of the vine that was still alive. The bright purple color caught my attention as I walked by

A group of paperwhites (Narcissus papyraceus) in sunlight from our front yard.
I had to post something once I discovered that bloomscrolling is a better alternative to doomscrolling.
