We had a nice reprieve from the rain yesterday, so I grabbed my camera and dashed outside. I'll share some hummingbird photos a bit later... but first, here's a bouquet of freshly-washed flowers for you!

Wings up, tush out! We've got lots of activity at the feeder, in advance of the incoming rainstorm that'll hit tomorrow and drop lots of rain over the next several days... #tushupthursday

Angel Face, she’s got the cutest little angel face… 💕🎶

This may very well be the last full bloom of the season, but she’s so pretty, and the fragrance is divine.

Tiny tangerines, ripening in the autumn sun. (It’s the little things, right?)

Two hummingbirds are perched on a red nectar feeder. The one with its back to the camera has its wings extended in take-off position, and the other one--perched to its left--is holding its tail high with its wings angled backward..

Leaf peeping in Upstate New York. It’s not peak season yet, but the autumn sun is peeking through the clouds—a beautifully textured backdrop for #fall foliage. And who doesn’t love the cluckity-clack, rock-a-motion sounds of a vintage train? #Autumn #NewYork #Nature #Train #Joy @cavrr.bsky.social

I like that these chrysanthemums pop up again every year, without any effort on my part. I like, too, that they're a sunny yellow--a bouquet from Nature that I think we can all use about now. 🌱 #FlowerReport #TouchGrass #Nature #TurnYourFaceToTheSun #CoastalSoCal
A patch of Chrysanthemums with yellow centers and petals that fade to white along the edges.

Because everyone needs & deserves a fainting couch. Even better, one that does double-duty as a scratching post.

Wings Up! It's National Hummingbird Day!

This is one of our OG nesting mamas, Aryana. She's a non-migrating Allen's Hummingbird who reigns supreme over the entire garden.. 🪶 #Birds #Hummingbird #nature #SoCal #BirdsOfBlueSky

Jeffrey the Big Lebowski, aka The Dude. He's a shy boy by nature; plus, he's a Maine Coon mix, so it's hard to fit all that magnificence into a single frame.

There’s not a cloud in the sky right now, so I’ll show you the view outside my window on the flight from OC to Seattle, to visit my grandsons. ✈️⛅️ 😎
