Look at these cuties, gathering at the feeder for happy hour! Behind the camera, their personal barista, swapping out their emptied feeders for fresh. 😊

We had a nice reprieve from the rain yesterday, so I grabbed my camera and dashed outside. I'll share some hummingbird photos a bit later... but first, here's a bouquet of freshly-washed flowers for you!

Wings up, tush out! We've got lots of activity at the feeder, in advance of the incoming rainstorm that'll hit tomorrow and drop lots of rain over the next several days... #tushupthursday

Angel Face, she’s got the cutest little angel face… 💕🎶

This may very well be the last full bloom of the season, but she’s so pretty, and the fragrance is divine.

Tiny tangerines, ripening in the autumn sun. (It’s the little things, right?)

In all the chaos, I would urge folks to remember that a lot of folks now don’t know when their next check will come.

The vast majority are good people who love this nation deeply, and many of them are still working despite not knowing when they’ll be paid

Have compassion.

Leaf peeping in Upstate New York. It’s not peak season yet, but the autumn sun is peeking through the clouds—a beautifully textured backdrop for #fall foliage. And who doesn’t love the cluckity-clack, rock-a-motion sounds of a vintage train? #Autumn #NewYork #Nature #Train #Joy @cavrr.bsky.social

I like that these chrysanthemums pop up again every year, without any effort on my part. I like, too, that they're a sunny yellow--a bouquet from Nature that I think we can all use about now. 🌱 #FlowerReport #TouchGrass #Nature #TurnYourFaceToTheSun #CoastalSoCal

Because everyone needs & deserves a fainting couch. Even better, one that does double-duty as a scratching post.
