Pearly everlasting (Anaphalis margaritacea) is a common and widespread native wildflower across N. America. It is an important host plant for the Painted Lady butterfly 🦋 and bees 🐝 adore it. It's perfect for sunny dry areas. It's named for its pearly sheen and it makes an excellent dried flower.

Someone @'d me with an AI-animated version of a charming 19th century "genre" painting that I posted. That person is now blocked.

Perennial question when one is confronted with a photo of a person: am I responding positively (or negatively) to the part, i.e., the attractive (or unattractive) individual, or am I responding positively (or negatively) to the whole, i.e., the photo qua photo? Not always easy to disentangle, obvs.

Kate Beckinsale photographed by Harry Borden for Eat Soup magazine on 19 March 1997.

Watched a short video about this photo, which is striking, then searched for more, and I have to say, very few photos of Kate Beckinsale do much more than document her outward appearance. As art, they’re nothing.
