Went to the Regional Parks Botanic Garden in Berkeley this week. I saw birds, lizards, frogs, fish and crawdads.
Today's Friday photo is a native wildflower there that looks like fire. Don't know the name but it's amazing!

It's been a few weeks since I posted a Friday nature photo. So to make up for it...here is an otter chomping on a fish. 🦦

Humboldt Redwoods State Park, California.

It's #Friday again - time for another not to nature. Instead of a photo, I'm going for a short clip of Toketee Falls in Oregon's Umpqua National Forest.

Anyone else hear the Gravity Falls theme song when looking at this?

I didn't do my usual nature post yesterday. So here's my belated #nature photo for the week. This was taken at the Portland Japanese Garden. It was such a serene experience.

It's been really hard to have a #FeelGoodFriday with the CR votes and disregard for free speech and the constitution. But maybe that's why I should post.
Here's to Scotland's beauty - heather, moss and pine from the Cairngorm's near Glenmore.

It's time for #FeelGoodFriday. As daylight savings time signals spring is coming, I thought I'd share a plant I look forward to seeing soon... the Pacific Bleeding Heart (Dicentra formosa). Found near a trail path in Issaquah, WA.

Possibly some Candlesnuff fungus (Xylaria hypoxylon) found near North Bend at the shore of the South Fork Snoqualmie River.

Feeling a bit down this morning so I took some time to go through nature pics. Here are a couple of my 'fairy places'

I was fishing through my files to find some example pieces for a portfolio and came across this. It's not my normal style but was fun to try!

This is Riley, a draft NB character for a science communication project I was working on a couple years ago. We went for another (also NB) main character, but I still think about them. I'm sure they'll show up elsewhere.

Don't forget the labels in figure 3!

A friend shared a real published paper in a 'decent' journal that had figures generated from AI art. It's horrendous in so many ways, the least of which is that this falseness is just another reason for people to distrust research. 😫🤬
