This year I’ve seen so many monarchs in my garden!! Last year there were just a few. I hope their populations are increasing. #monarchs #butterflies #zinnias #migration #pollinators #gardening

Some kind of wasp? Definitely a pollinator! #gardening #flowers #pollinators

Speedy little hummer zipping above the flowers.🌺 #hummingbirds #gardening #birds

I did not plant these profusion zinnias. They reseeded from last year's plants and look a million times healthier. #gardening #flowers #zinnias #gardenersofbluesky

I bought this planter for my mom. She passed away several years ago. Now it has a special place in my garden. #gardening

Merry Christmas from deep space. 🌲 #christmastreecluster #astronomy #grinch

No hope for a white Christmas this year, but here is a photo of a snowy morning I woke up to several years ago. #snow #nature

Stargazer lilies fill the air with their sweet fragrance. #gardening #flowers

A gorgeous rosette of turkey tail. It is a medicinal #mushroom with a long history of use in traditional medicine. I make tinctures with it and is a very common bracket #fungi. I dried this one and made a brooch cause it was so darn perfect. #fungifriends #photography #forestfloor #nature

Zinnias! 🩷 #gardening #flowers
