The Flannelbush in full yellow voice, a Skipper on Milkweed, and Pipevine Swallowtail eggs on the CA Dutchman’s Pipevine leaves (hopefully soon to be thoroughly chowed 🐛 ) in the spring garden.
California Flannelbush, aka Fremontia (Fremontodendron californica) in full yellow bloom up close and behind to the bright blue sky. A small brown Skipper butterfly (Hesperiidae sp.) perched on top of a Showy Milkweed (Asclepias speciosa) leaf. A cluster of small brownish California Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly eggs on the underside of a California Pipevine leaf (Aristolochia californica) - planted in an urban Sonoma County garden as the Pipevine is the only food source for the Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly and provides critical habitat.  Clutches of eggs all over this vine point to success!

A New Year’s Day tradition foraging mussels for pasta, aided by the minus tide inverse of the king tides offering up the deep mussel beds on the Sonoma Coast

Instead of other things, I offer one of my favorite poems, now and forever:
There will come soft rains

Sara Teasdale
1884 – 1933
(War Time)

There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;

And frogs in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white,

Robins will wear their feathery fire
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;

And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.

Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
If mankind perished utterly;

And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone.

In places with good bike infrastructure, cycling is a practical and natural way to get around, not a statement about fitness or the environment.

We’re not closing the street to cars, we’re opening it to people. It’s not a low traffic neighborhood, it’s a low air-pollution neighborhood.

Summer reaching deep into the warmth of autumn. Hachiyas nearly there - now just a game of chicken with the raccoons and jays.
Hachiya persimmon leaf, glowing reddish-orange while backlit by warm autumn sunlight. Leaf capillaries bright and visible like river systems seen from space.  Ripe orange Havhiya persimmons hang from a green leafy branch, bathed in warm and gentle autumn sunlight.
