Because I haven't posted enough about BONES on this account... fun fact: I've been cleaning, collecting, articulating skeletons for over 10 years now.

Here's a juvenile coyote skeleton, she was tragically hit by a car last summer...

First good bumblebee photo of the season! Unfortunately, she wasn't foraging on one of my native plants, (that's Creeping Charlie which snuck into the back lawn somehow) but at least she appeared to be very healthy.

I am so fn excited for the next season of rewilding our yard! Here's a shot of Eastern prickly pear, Opuntia humifusa, growing happily amongst a shabby patch of turfgrass. 6.25.2024

Don't mind the pavement in the background. Patchy front lawns and "hell strips" are ideal for small, beginner friendly pollinator gardens.

This female striped sweat bee, Agapostemon virescens, is nourished by our Echinacea planting.

Our front lawn pollinator pathway, same perspective as yesterday's post. Photo taken July 2024... we had a lot of annual Fleabane volunteers last year.

My Eastern prickly pear, Opuntia humifusa, has been loving and expanding on its home (our front lawn) since it was first installed in May 2021
