I love northern Minnesota sunrises! Here are a few recent shots. It was worth the hike in to this spot and waking up a 4am to get there.

The Hardy Mum(Chrysanthemum × morifolium)is a hybrid perennial flowering plant in the Asteraceae family. Native to Asia, it has been cultivated for over 3,000 yrs. The name derives from the Greek chrysos (gold) and anthemon (flower), referring to its original golden blooms #AI #nature #fall #autumn

Record high temperatures are currently being set across the northernmost portions of the #Arctic. In fact, it is effectively ice-free on the Atlantic side of the Arctic all the way up to about 85°N latitude! This includes record low sea ice around Svalbard.

Line graph time series of 2025's daily 2-m temperature in the Arctic compared to each year from 1958 through 2024. There is a long-term warming trend for every day of the year. There is also large interannual variability and a clear seasonal cycle.

The marigolds are a butterfly magnet. There are so many of them that we bump into each other as I walk by.

If it was a wild one it was most likely Musa balbisiana 🌿🌿🌿 Everything is spread about these days so it could have been a cultivar, as well.
