Due to all the recent rain, I saw the most interesting fungi on a beautiful fallen tree by a rising river we can usually drive across. Take a deep cleansing breath and have a look… 🍄

Beautiful red to purple colors with pretty golden border on a half shell fungi connected to a log. The downed log itself has lovely golden to purple colors striping through. We can usually drive and walk across this river… but now there’s an island and a boulder creating small waterfalls.

So they know the boats are narco-trafficking, and the men are traffickers. But they don’t know the name of the boats or the people.

This is straight up murder. Our military must be held accountable.
From Hegseth: Today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out a lethal kinetic strike on another narco-trafficking vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) in the Caribbean. This vessel—like EVERY OTHER—was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking route, and carrying narcotics. Three male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the strike, which was conducted in international waters. All three terrorists were killed, and no U.S. forces were harmed in this strike.

I’m gonna do a late #FlowerFridayFamily. It’s a mish mash of things. The last gasp of my shampoo ginger in deep red. A bright orange Flame of the woods (which varies from my own). Purple Flame violets growing over a boulder in my yard. And the Peace Lily’s starting to bloom again.

#BloomScrolling
End of the season deep red shampoo ginger that started this year as yellow, and progressed to a gradient… The Flame of the Woods in my yard have tiny leaves. These have large leaves. But the flowers are identical. This is a huge boulder and the Flame Violets are just moving over it… Peace lilies, though critters are trying to get them, are blooming again.

Wholesome and refreshing… like this blue sky…
Beautiful blue sky with fluffy white clouds over the ocean. Large trees are in the foreground, and with the speed they’re growing, we soon won’t even see the ocean. But I will still know it’s there… 😉

They’re not paying the troops with the money from these laid off people. According to Dan Moynihan…
They cannot talk about the shutdown without lying. There is no connection between troop payments and federal employee layoffs. Zero. They are paying the troops with multiyear R&D allocations within DOD. This is also illegal by the way! But completely disconnected to the layoffs.

Recently in Europe, students have found a clever way to fight back against facial recognition cameras. Not with hacking. Not with tech. But with simple face paint & strands of hair.

By shading or covering the points AI uses to identify faces, they make billion-dollar surveillance systems go blind.
Faces painted with bars and lines to confuse AI.

I knew he’d finally be ID’d. The previous ANTIFA/previous gang member is Robert O’Neill — retired Navy Seal. Jesse and FOX News should be embarrassed and forced to come clean from lying. Christ.

This image are the real interviews I’ve watched. The Gaza one was a badly photoshopped joke.

Yeah, the kid over his [stage] right shoulder is punching his buddy and laughing. I guess the one on the other side isn’t any better. Super excited about this! SO exciting! I guess they don’t play Fox News on every military base for no reason…
Guys behind Trump giddy with joy.

Sounds of rain that appeared almost instantly, because #CostaRica! 🌧️

Need some sounds to distract you? There was a flock of parrots next door (we’re a couple acres apart). 🦜 8 minutes later about 12 had moved into our trees, then the sky opened. Yes, the parrots are still squawking, but the rain is louder. 🤣

Hello bird lovers! 🪶 I’d love to distract you today with the regular behavior of our red rumped tanager pair.

He loves to fly up to our bedroom window tap on it. Then he & his mate talk in their adorable chatter voices (I can’t get enough). This time there was a second female?

This was in San Francisco on the docks by our boat. Heidi was flipped out by the lazy sea lions next to us. 🐙

We live in #CostaRica now, so it’s more about whales these days…

These flowers are all so iracundulous. The stamens are amazing!

Exactly!
My children are not on the autism spectrum because I took Tylenol while pregnant. They're on the autism spectrum because I, a person who will wear only one type of shoe and can't eat food that is "too potato-y," had babies with a man who has an encyclopedic knowledge of European aristocracy but a limited ability to process social cues.

Only a day late for #FlowerFridayFamily this week! It’s been pretty overcast — it’s rainy season. But last night we had a tremendous sunset which was amazing. Here are a few flowers in my yard this week.

Beautiful wild Blushing Philodendron with red center and white center stamen. The end of this season’s Shampoo Ginger. They’re now completely red. A lovely red Flame of the Wood (or Jungle Geranium) exploded this week. The large white Peace Lily is starting to bloom again, but someone is finding the leaves quite delicious… 🤔
