Same energy. Great Hall Catherine Palace (aka Summer Palace). Catharine 1 is painted in the center of the ceiling with other rulers in awe of her. The room I think of when I think of Trump. Honestly is.

Live these posts! Only thing I can add as our Cooper’s Hawk is good at hiding in our giant pine.

Went to take a picture of a lovely monarch feeding when I noticed the well camouflaged predator hunting flies on the same plant. 🌱

Hoping that this beautiful swallowtail plays eggs on this (past its springtime prime blooms) gas plant this year! 🌱

Hoping the sudden heat here doesn’t mean my peonies will be short-lived. Finally opening this week and they’re gorgeous. 🌱
White double peonies with a very small light pink center. Single white peonies with yellow center and one deep red double peony. A profusion of double pink and white double peonies, and a single deep red double peony. One open single flower (one layer of petals) hot pink peony with a yellow center and unopened buds in the background.

I know I posted these last year, but they really are one of my favorite iris.
Closely matched by that coolest of flowers - columbine. 🌱
Photo of a bearded iris with white upper petals and deep orange-gold lower petals. Multicolored columbine with red and yellow flowers, and purple and white flowers.

Can’t love the shade garden more this time of year. 🪏
Photo of the back of house with a large golden locust tree with mixed hosta, bleeding heart filling the garden.
