My house is burning. Need to get in touch with The Fire Bureau

So funny that you saw a puffin, and a bird called Puffinus puffinus, and they're not the same bird

Thanks! They're actually really easy to film, if you stay still near the feeders they don't mind you at all. Biggest limitation is just the discomfort of keeping my phone held up for 10 or 15 minutes

Anyway. I haven't been able to pin down whether the desert bluebells (Phacelia campanularia) are native in Arizona at all. In any case, notch-leaf scorpionweed (Phacelia crenulata) is a relative and really common in the spring desert here. Here's 2 pictures I took of that species last year.

The brand is Couroc, I think people collect them now. There's a quail design I like. I might have to get the matching poppy ice bucket too

Also a while ago I got this California poppy lacquer tray that I use for rolling um. Herbal cigarettes. It's so pretty, the inlay is metal and wood. The green teardrop shape is supposed to be the fruit of the poppy.

The California poppy (Eschscholzia californica) is native, although most of what I see on iNaturalist is labeled as Mexican poppy (E. californica subsp. mexicana), which is a local subspecies. No idea how to determine that

Seems that way!

It really is not bad to mess around over, I am having a good time with it

Purebred dogs are like the canine Olsen twins, when you think about it

The reviews are very positive!
