For a very late #forestFriday, here is the forest floor now that it has rained in northern California. Most of the plants are invasive but there is one native, a Pacific Snakeroot (the darker leafed plant in the center-left). #forestfloor #nativeplants #nature #naturephotography #photography

For #nationaltakeahikeday I hiked Pine Canyon in a local regional park, northern California. A bit muddy from the recent rains, but now bursting with tiny green shoots. Unlike everywhere else, our plant life awakes in the winter. #nature #naturephotography #forest #trees #nativeplants

We took my grandson to the park, where he found the motherlode of poofy dandelions and wanted to pick then blow on them all.

I am out taking photos of rain drops on roses and who should show up but an adorable, multi-eyed Hairy Tufted Jumping Spider (Phidippus comatus), peeking around the rain covered petals. You never know who will say hi in the garden.

This was my first post from October, two years ago. It set the stage for my, uh, interesting humor. (They are Pick Me Ups, BTW. Took me a bit of time to figure out. The person who placed the stickers just so has my eternal appreciation.)

Weird label placement strikes again.
A few pack of “Pick me Ups” oatmeal square. A label on the word “pick” makes it look like “fuck me ups”

For #RedWed: a blossom of "Double Delight," a favorite rose and one of the few reddish ones that I really like.

My backyard rose blooms in delicate pink and orange and has the most heavenly of scents. If only we had smell-a-vision! 🌸
