Painted lady feeding on Schott's pygmy cedar. I was wondering if the plant was an actual cedar because its needle-shaped leaves smell like pine, but it's a member of the aster family that grows on rock walls in the desert.

Women's History Month is a great opportunity for me to plug my book - the first ever book on Indian engineering women - "Roots and Wings." Consider gifting it this month to a young woman/girl in your life. Comments have links for purchasing. #womenshistorymonth2026

You see, the shipping companies are not worried about incurring damage from the Iranians. They are worried about incurring damage that is not INSURED! The ships will sail once they garner the additional protection or they will seek out another port to load.

A lovely camellia bloom from my #garden is giving me joy this morning, and if you look just behind this lovely, you'll spot a little wasp nest tucked away. Sometimes, it's the little things that makes you smile.🌱☘️🍃 #FlowerReport #bloomscrolling #EastCoastKin #PhotographersofBluesky #Photography

We did not just survive the winter. We were waiting, like the bulbs underground, for exactly this: spring awakening. More about what spring means to us in the ALT text. Good morning everyone and have a #Stunday full of spring wonder. #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

Good morning Bluesky! It’s time to turn the calendar page and start a new month. Maybe difficult times are when we need flowers the most. Flowers give us hope during the darkest days, and challenge us to keep our heads up, faces towards the sun.

“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’” GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON

he was a hugely successful chemist. he had a few patents. he killed it. just insanely successful. so my dad is dying in 2019 of cancer and he’s completely crumbling as people do when they die of cancer, it sucks, and he says all i wanted to do was take care of dogs.

Nature bids farewell to February! 📷🕊️

Six planets are linking up in the sky Saturday, and most will be visible to the naked eye. It’s what’s known as a planetary parade, which happens when multiple planets appear to line up in the sky at once. The planets aren’t in a straight line, but are close together on one side of the sun.

🌱 Saw this beautiful Deppea splendens at the Huntington Library today. Believed to be extinct in nature (its home was the forests of Mexico that are now corn fields), this coffee relative lives on in various botanical gardens including here in California.
