Cosmic Blossom (Ai): while some of you are thrashing the existence of Ai, some of us are influencing it, to create limitless possibilities. I hope it brings you a magical mood. Apologies for my absence, creating art full throttle, lately. Peace. #art #ai #possibilities #magic #create

Back at the old house, the large persimmon tree in the neighbor’s garden would produce fruit at a level far from reach for any human. By December the ripening persimmons drew the attention of crows or ravens. Painting in progress by D.Lopez #art #painting #crows #ravens #autumn #persimmons #seasons

Aloe Vera will not survive the drop in temperature. To avoid it becoming sludge I bring it indoors. #plantcare #plants #aloe #houseplants

In my area, it’s time to harvest and process the wild rosehips for their medicine. They appear in time for cold and flu season. Intelligent nature. #rose #wildrose #flora #nativeplants #garden #gardening #pacificnorthwest #naturalmedicine #nativemedicine

Nootka Rose, Rosa nutkana,is used medicinally by a great number of indigenous peoples to treat a wide variety of ailments, and also ceremonially, in handcrafts, and as a food source. I have two shrubs. #nativeflora #nativegarden #rose #plantmedicine #pacificnorthwest

Eventually this native California wild grape (Vitis californica) will change to a lovely red and yellow color with the drop in temperature. #nativeplants #nativeflora #gardening #garden #grapevine
