Ms. Daisy is thankful for the dirty yellow towel she conned out of the drywall repair guy, who noted that she loves the towel more than he ever could. #catsofbluesky

The #jacaranda trees are at their best right now on the UCLA campus, situated against the joy of graduations and the continual dread/horror of what has been unleashed against our city and so many human beings.

One of my favorite pics of Cosmo and Daisy when they were younger, as they went through a phase stealing my mom’s blood pressure monitor and removing the batteries. #Caturday #CatsofBluesky

A tabby cat and white cat with tabby markings sit on a bed behind a broken blood pressure monitor, looking both guilty and defiant.

Happy #Caturday to anyone trying to make the bed with feline “assistance.”

I sent my mom flowers for Mother’s Day, and absolutely no one was more thrilled than the individual who got the delivery box. #CatsofBluesky #Caturday

Well I finally went back and took another look, and can confirm that it is indeed three different trees.

I returned to the Huntington today, and lots of beautiful flowers were in bloom. Also some bonsai that weren’t on display last time, including this cool pomegranate. #bonsai

Brought the golden #Godzilla into the office to menace the plants and book cases. I did give him a formalwear bow tie, for that Oscars flair.

Still figuring out what more I want to do for now with this Tiger Bark Ficus. I’ve already cut back a lot of the leaves from when I got it. I do love the trunk! #Bonsai

Very first #needlefelting project, mostly just fiddling around freehand and going for weird baby octopus. Some lessons learned, but I still love him.

Today this jade will be getting a wee haircut, though I do like watching all the little double leaves form. I’ve had this one for nearly 3 years and have been calling it “Mr. Puffball.” #Bonsai

A really striking shimpaku juniper that I saw last weekend. The wood part keeps reminding me of those floppy inflatable tube guys you see flailing around in front of car dealerships. But, classy and such. #Bonsai

There’s a run-down apartment complex in my neighborhood with a completely bare yard except for a tree stump jutting out of a giant rhododendron. I honestly can’t tell if it’s a deliberate aesthetic or fully accidental. 🌸

I’m not sure I would call this aeonium a #bonsai so much as bonsai-styled, but I’m very fond of it and got it for a low price. Someone spent some time training the smaller pieces of the base.

The vast majority of bonsai currently in the Huntington’s permanent collection are donated. There are a couple of different plum trees that were in bloom this weekend, including this satsuma plum. #Bonsai

I took way too many pictures at the 67th Annual Bonsai Show by the CA Bonsai Society today. One prominent thing is that most bonsai were displayed with a shitakusa companion plant, as with this Chinese elm. #Bonsai

I bought this little guy for $5 at Armstrong, parched to death on the discount shelf. It’s doing better now after some care. I’m pretty sure it is a prickly lime ash, and the leaves smell great. #Bonsai
