Just in time we got a Christmas rose!

Artomyces pyxidatus, the Crown-tipped Coral or Candelabra Coral fungus, was not seen in the UK over the entire 20th century, its last record in 1886 until a spate of recent findings around 2022, which is when I found this specimen (in East Kent). Where did it disappear all this time?

Now, it all started 60 Thanksgivings ago; it was 60 years ago on Thanksgiving…

What is the purpose of setting up a Bluesky account and then closing it off so no one can respond to it?

We had one trick-or-treater tonight. One! So…

The Boston Bruins away jerseys this year look like Dollar Store knockoffs of the real thing. 😕

"But the funniest thing was, when I was leavin' the bay I saw three ships a-sailin', they were all heading my way I asked the captain what his name was, and how come he didn't drive a truck He said his name was Columbus I just said 'Good Luck!'" from "Bob Dylan's 115th Dream"

I'll say it again: we need more beagles on Bluesky

First-Class accommodations in Las Vegas. Well, around 1935.

This is what Cape Cod looks like in October

Another pic from Valley of Fire State Park in Overton, Nevada. This one reminds me of the Star Trek TNG episode "The Pegasus."

When you go to see the attractions in New Hampshire it won’t all be glass and chrome!

A zebra longwing at the Butterfly Habitat in Las Vegas.

“What did I say, Tom?” “Don’t swing on the branches?” “Don’t swing on the branches.” “I know, but-“ “And what did you do?” “Just hear me out...” “What did you do, Tom?” “I-I swung on the branches.” “You swung on the branches.” “You made it look so easy.” “Just give me your hand.”

In New England, it's not too early to start thinking about Winter (this was actually taken around Memorial Day).

I've forgotten the name of this butterfly. It was in a butterfly house in Las Vegas.

This is an "Old Lady" cactus

The X-Files TV show may be over but the truth is still out there.

Would you like some Desert Daisies?

It was 58 years ago today…

When it's time to uncover the grille for a cookout, you never know who'll show up. Pretty sure this is a side-blotched lizard.

Nothing to see here… Just a cute pup switching out of four-wheel-drive 😂 📽️heckingooddogs

There is no joy in Mudville…

#RoseWednesday In the last exciting episode of "Growing Roses in the Desert" we planted an Enchanted Peace Hybrid Tea Rose in early February. It was apparently DOA, so this time we chose a Malibu (Barbie not included). We'll see how it goes.

Thank you Mr. Dry Saddle for helping Reilly Smith and the Vegas Golden Knights win the NHL playoff game tonight! 😎😎😎

👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

The first bloom of the year is from our Chrysler Imperial. #rosewednesday

Mexican gray wolves are essential. So is coffee 😉

This is an old one but it's good for a laugh. It's from a police or sheriff's department in a western New York county (can't remember which one).

Woohoo! Reilly Smith is coming back to the Vegas Golden Knights. I’m ready!

When asked "What is proper number of #beagles?" The answer is MORE! Enjoy today's jigsaw puzzle. || gotbeagles.org #DogsOfBlueSky #AdoptDontShop #MWBalumni #MWBREW

Sitting here watching the Golden Knights game and my wife brought in a fresh bag of Crunchy Cheetos. The bag is pretty empty now. Actually, they don’t go all that well with chardonnay.

Here's my contribution to #rosewednesday for this week. Say what? Look close and you can see an Enchanted Peace rose that was just planted this morning. Check back in a few months and see if it blooms the first year.

Where's Spud?

☕👋 [Ah, the good old days.] Good luck with Monday, eh. 😁
