Planted this Argentine senna in the spring, & it has not disappointed. We now see yellow cloudless sulphur butterflies mingling w/ the butterflies in our yard. #BloomScrolling

This is why we think that chrysalis is going to be a pipevine swallowtail. Caught these caterpillars in the act, munching on my white-veined Dutchman's pipevine leaves a few days before.

Found some native Portulaca pilosa, a.k.a. pink purselane, "kiss-me-quick," & "hairy pigweed," growing where my neighbor's house used to be today. So pretty. Reminded me of walking among the dunes at a beach. #BloomScrolling

Here is Walid Ahmed's dad holding photos of his son, who wanted to be a soccer star. Imagine what it was like for Walid - unable to see his parents as he was being tortured & dying of starvation in a prison, having committed no crime. www.middleeasteye.net/news/palesti...

"A 9-year-old Palestinian girl unable to walk due to severe malnutrition. Her family urgently appeals to the relevant authorities to medically evacuate her and provide the necessary nutritional support to save her life." 💔💔💔 Little sweetheart. 💔💔💔

"UN expert @Irenekhan denounces serious threats by #Israeli army against Anas Al-Sharif, the last surviving journalist of @AlJazeera in northern Gaza - a blatant attempt to endanger his life and silence his reporting on #GazaGenocide‌." www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

Another report of silencers being used to kill Gazans seeking food aid. x.com/Ahmed_Nashwa...

From Anas Al-Sharif: "Multiple eyewitnesses report that the Israeli occupation forces are using silencers to fire at starving civilians in northern Gaza — a scene that defies every description of brutality."

"The Israeli army published a video of a starving young man, Ahmed Nafez Baraka... who went near an army site searching for food for his hungry family.... Baraka’s case is a brutal example: a desperate civilian turned into a propaganda tool to justify war crimes." x.com/RamAbdu/stat...

This "black witch" moth has been on my front porch awning all day, resting among the native wisteria frutescens leaves. Guess I should buy a lottery ticket. There are lots of humanitarian orgs I could donate any winnings to...

From a physician in Gaza: "The staff are now unable to provide services to the patients due to hunger. They now feel dizzy and their stomachs are empty, just like other people...." x.com/Medo198518/s...

"This session was one of the most emotionally intense to date, as it focused on the traumatic event and Zainab’s emotional responses, including her perceptions of her family’s final moments." She is so tiny. ❤️💔All the love in the world to Gazans!

Yes, but was it as creepy as this one?

Thinking of all the beautiful souls who could use some beauty in their lives, esp. in war zones & esp. children, disabled, elderly, sick, starving, and/or otherwise vulnerable. 💔

Fact: hyacinths originate from one of my ancestral homelands. Maybe that is why I love them so much.
