My Michigan Lilies are blooming! #nativeplants #plantnative #michigan #michiganlily #nativemichiganplants
The Michigan Lily, a lily native to Michigan, stands in my garden surrounded by other native plants in front of a pond. The flowers are orange, facing down, with the petals and sepals beginning to curve backward.

I finished my vest! I won’t be able to wear it till fall because I wove the fabric with worsted weight wool/alpaca/silk/mohair yarn and it’s 94°F but I’m ready! #handmade #sewing #weaving #Saori
Vest made from handwoven Saori-style fabric in shades of blue, black, and white.

I had an eye exam today and I couldn’t help but take this picture. It just looks so alien and artsy.
Photo of the inside backs of my eyes. Skin surrounding eyes is bright green. Eyes are bright orange with darker lines and spots. Eyelashes are at the bottom.

It’s a chipmunk rather than a cat, but your photo reminded me of this chipmunk on the Buddha in my garden.
