Happy #Thursjay. California scrub-jay (Aphelocoma californica). Taken at Bear Gulch Reservoir in Pinnacles National Park, San Benito County, California. Pinnacles NP is one of my favorite places to be. It always settles me. Wishing everyone a great day.

Unbelievably I was arguing with some "voting blue in 2024 was futile, both parties are the same" people just this morning.

It must be an op. It's gotta be an op.

Oh interesting plant. And confusing! There are over 500 species and you want to match the correct one to your locality - the local native species (aristolochia californica for instance) not one that is desirable and native elsewhere but might become invasive. Very cool vine!

Ah yes, our are Aristolochia californica
January 28, 2026 at 3:16 AM
Yes, similar, this is a California native (Aristolochia californica)

Thank you! We’re in Northern California near Sacramento.

One of the first things to bloom!

Quiet vibrance at the Denver Botanic Gardens.

The contrast between the glowing California poppies and the darker foliage is what pulled me in — bold color, calm presence.

Thanks for sharing moments like this with me.
