Views my own
The fashion plates from this time are fascinating. Women were shown with no squareness to the shoulders—just this odd slope from the neck to the shoulder. To me, this style & other styles like it, seem to emphasize or try to create this sloped shoulder line
Perhaps square shoulders weren't ladylike?

One of my #FavoriteThings is #koreanfood, especially if it's #homemade.
It was hard to choose a dish, but my homemade Korean soy-braised eggs, #GyeranJorim ( #계란조림), are always so pretty.
They're also little #umami bombs of joy. 😋

Assateague Island National Seashore near Little Tom's Cove

I posted this for Summer Daze, but its #sky deserves its own moment, too.

Now for something REALLY #small:
The green alga, #Spirogyra, showing the ribbon-like helical arrangement of chloroplasts around the translucent organism.
The image was taken from a projection of a teaching microscope by using a #SamsungNote9

The 4th BTS #PermissiontoDanceonStageLA Concert

This was the 1st tour #BTS did after quarantine was lifted. There are no words for the overwhelming joy that BTS & 50,000 #BTSARMY shared when they could finally be together.

Who's visiting my Carrion Plant?

#Stapelia & other species have stunning flowers that emit the odor of rotting meat. This attracts flies, instead of bees, as pollinators.
This fly was quick & hard to capture with a phone

It's called #Dookʼoʼoosłííd by the #Navajo & is considered sacred

Science meets art.
Bees see ultraviolet light (UV). Plants exploit this by having nectar guide patterns on their flowers that #glow in response to UV light. These patterns light the way for bees to the nectar & pollen-rich parts of flowers.
Bees are fed
Plants are pollinated
Win-win

Here is the finished #StuffedCucumberKimchi ( #OiSobagi #오이소박이).

I had really fresh #gochugaru ( #고추가루, powdered or flaked #Koreanchilis), so it turned out to be thermonuclear spicy—even for me. 🥵😂😋

What do you make with the #cucumbers your friend gave you?
#StuffedCucumberKimchi ( #OiSobagi #오이소박이) to eat tomorrow.
And—
#KoreanCucumberPickles ( #Oijangajji #오이장아찌) to use in #banchan ( #반찬) in a week or two.
Also—
#SoyMarinatedEggs ( #GyeranJangjorim #계란장조림) just because

Here's a screenshot of the yellow morph of a Male Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (Papilio glaucus) so that you can see his wing pattern clearly.
