Spotted this beauty on my morning walk.
Canna indica, commonly known as Indian shot, African arrowroot, edible canna, purple arrowroot, Sierra Leone arrowroot, is a plant species native to the Americas. The edible rhizomes are a source of starch.

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

Saw these tonight on my evening walk: lycoris radiata, known as the red spider lily, red magic lily, corpse flower, or equinox flower, is a plant in the amaryllis family. It is originally from China, Japan, Korea and Nepal. It blooms in late summer and early autumn. #bloomscrolling #flowers #lily

Some flowers after yesterday’s rain. I photograph the purple dahlias every year.

Despite their common name, Canna lilies are not true lilies but belong to their own plant family, Cannaceae. They are more closely related to plants like birds of paradise, ginger, and bananas. #bloomscrolling #anthophile #flowers #nature

Miss my walks with my dog around the neighborhood. Miss seeing all the beauty in this concrete jungle.

I’m on my healing journey and I am on a restricted diet but I was craving pancakes so I made these with egg and mashed bananas, topped with Greek yogurt and a drizzle of buckwheat honey.

The truth here is so ever relevant, is so simple and profound. I think I might pop it into my next book. Sharing yet again:

Haven’t posted in a while…recovering from surgery. On a stringent diet post op, but I can still have flavor.
Avocado toast with sliced beets and feta, raspberry balsamic glaze.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
