"Winter" by Karin Hosono feels like a pretty perfect way to share my feelings on this time of the year 😂

I just saw your post with the Brene Brown quote. I had so many times while reading through Daring Greatly where she talks about strength through vulnerability in a safe space and I had to wonder if she has ever tried naturism.

Reminder: showing empathy for Charlie Kirk is disrespectful. It goes against his values and beliefs.

Slow mornings with Frog and Toad are so enjoyable, aren't they? India Rose Crawford knows exactly how to take us there.

Here is a well-dressed bee. She has some lovely blue boots from the pollen of the Gilia capitata (blue field gilia). The phlox family that Gilia belongs to is known for commonly employing colorful pollen in many of its members. Please, no one step on her blue suede shoes!

Quercus kelloggii (Black Oak) is putting out its leaves for the year. Before they get to be full size and normal, they have a simply fabulous emergence!

Tiny flower alert (nasty camping fingers for scale). I was in the eastern Sierras this last week for a climbing trip and got lucky with lots of annual desert wildflowers!

In this bare bones tub is habitat for the local chorus frogs (Pseudacris regilla). They have found it all on their own, laid egg sacks, and left their little progeny to live their life.

A tribute to California's State grass: Stipa pulchra (Purple needle grass). Once covering swaths of CA grasslands with perrenial roots as deep as 20', this redwood of the grasses is slow and steady. A little too slow compared to the invasive European annual grasses that have out paced them recently.

This is a fancy, diurnal, clear-winged moth sipping liquid from a leaf. Moths in this family often resemble stinging insects, but this species didn't get the memo. It went for jungle air-shrimp instead. #Inverts #MothMonday

If you’ve already started calling it the Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico, you should have no trouble with someone’s preferred name and pronouns.

A flower, a chrysalis, a quick sketch. The pipevine swallowtail is an endangered CA endemic butterfly that relies on the Dutchman's pipe as a host for its catapillars.
