Holy shit wait for it

Another today.

I encountered a native plant on a hike this evening that I'd never seen before. Asimina reticulata, I believe. Lovely!

Not mowing yet and the wildflowers have been sublime. My sweet neighbor spotted this Spiranthes spiralis today in my yard. It's a wild orchid that seems to have gotten lost on its way to a bog party.

A dwarf nimwah banana tree, completely brown from frost, has a magnificent magenta flower emerging at it's center, with a crown of thin bright green bananas.

Winter took all the leaves from this tree; those parts of her that draw energy from the sun.

Because of this, her fruit will never ripen. Still she offers the resilient beauty of her flower.

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

I'm gonna post all the snakes I meet this year. This is a sweet little rat snake I hung out with by the Santa Fe River.

Quaker groups file suit over the end of policy restricting ICE arrests in houses of worship The suit appears to be the first from a faith-based organization challenging the change in court.

Courage to change the things we can.

My name is peace
This is my hour
Can I get just a little bit
Of power?
