Year three of this dalea purpurea and we finally have both many stems and many blooms. Love the bright orange pollen extended far out from purple petals. #bloomscrolling

Boy howdy are the wildflowers going in the front range right now. Beaver Brook - Windy Saddle was beautiful. Here's a crab spider I discovered while investigating a geranium caespitosum? (Pinewoods geranium). Id will be in the comments if someone IDs my observation in iNaturalist.

Riding high speed trains is an absolute delight and I really want them in the USA.

I know goal posts have shifted off-to-preventing-nazi-land but that doesn't mean we shouldn't hope or imagine a better future. I'd absolutely love a Denver-Chicago connection.

Quercus gambelii. Currently my favorite because I'm growing them from acorns to eventually become part of a lil keystone soecies ecosystem/privacy screen.

Made a set of mixing bowls for my sister. They're inspired by the double spouted vintage pyrex mixing bowls, but better because these are not glazed with bioavailable lead glazes. During the spout addition, I decided there was no way I was going to put two spots on each one 😄
