Nuts about geology and history, the arts and the natural world especially animals. 💙 No pornography, nor do I wish to date anyone. I believe cryptocurrencies are a con and an abhorrence to the environment. Please no DMs. Opinions are my own.

Only three distinct, natural colors – white, yellow, green – give us summer loveliness, in a wild, little desert scene. #minimal #Photography #Butterfly #Flower #BlueSkyArtShow #ECK #Nature #ColorADay #GreenSat
Gently illuminated by the evening light, is a mostly white butterfly. Nectaring upon a vibrant yellow Cowpen Daisy, a common wildflower if desert rains have been decent. Background is a soft blend of garden greenery, and the gentle sunlight… A few days ago.

Juvenile male Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna). During courtship dives, male Anna's hummingbirds plunge 130 feet and endure 9g of force pulling up—an acceleration high enough to knock out a human fighter pilot. #birds #biology #nature #wildlife
Anna’s hummingbird is a small, stout songbird with emerald-green back feathers and a grayish-white belly. Males feature a brilliant metallic rose-pink crown and throat patch that glints in light like sequins, while females have mostly muted green plumage with a small pink throat spot. They have a short, straight black beak and rapid, buzzing wings, often making sharp, metallic chirps as they hover.
