In California the days have been hot and dry, yet the native shrubs continue to produce colorful berries. The berries of this Toyon will turn fire-engine red by the end of the year. #red #berries #nativeplants #californianatives #nature #naturephotography #mtdiablostatepark #colorfulshrubs

I am expecting the guillotine to be reinstated anytime soon. #trump #hegseth #executions #horror #guillotine

I visited a #pollinator garden today in northern California and was delighted to find a number of #Monarch #butterflies flitting about the large blossoms of some very tall Zinnias. Here is one who stayed still for at least 100 photos. 🦋😊

Layers of rock in yellows, grays and blues at a beach near Sea Ranch in northern California. Such different colorations! #TextureTuesday #ECK #RockinTuesday #strata #nature #rock

Remembering my beautiful, smart, strong and loving mother, Laurie Lowe, on the anniversary of her passing. Miss you, mom.🧡 Here she is with her grandchild on the occasion of her earning her PhD. (Her t-shirt says "PhinisheD.")

Amidst the dusty browns and dull greens of a California summer, the Hollyleaf Redberry bush bursts with bright red berries that are favorites of the local birds. #nativeplants #berries #red #nature #naturephotography #naturallandscapes

For #FlowersFriday, a very tiny bloom of Naked Buckwheat (Eriogonum nudum), an important native California grass. This tiny flower blossoms at the tip of a long, thin and almost bare stalk, thus the naked part of its name. #nativeplant #yellow #grass #naked #flowers #bloomscrolling #macro #nature

thekingsnecktie.substack.com/p/rememberin... Remembering my dad, Bill Jersey, by his dear friend and colleague, Bob Edwards.

A very warm hike through Mitchell Canyon of Mt. Diablo State Park in Northern California resulted in the discovery of a thoroughly chewed up and designed leaf that I named "bug hieroglyphics." #ColorADay #BWFri #leaf #bughieroglyphics #ForestFriday

Coreopsis (Coreopsis tinctoria) is a native California wildflower with brown centered blossoms amid fringes of bright yellow. #ColorADay #YellowThu #nativeplants #wildflowers #bloomscrolling #flowers #gardens #homegardening #nature #naturephotography

Red flax (Linum usitatissimum). Not a native plant but still a lovely pop of color in my northern California garden. #ColorADay #RedWed #flower #flax #nature #gardening #naturephotography #bloomscrolling

My father, Bill Jersey, died last night at the amazing age of 99. He had the most astonishing life as an award-winning documentary film maker for over 60 years and, at age 85, a full time impressionist landscape artist. Farewell, Pops. #billjersey #documentaryfilm #film #landscapes #art

Babysitting my one-year old granddaughter is such a joy. She falls asleep in my arms as we gaze out of her bedroom window. ❤️❤️❤️ #grandchildren #babysitting #love #littlegirls #babies #grandma #littleones #toddlers

A little slice of peace: reflections of clouds on an overcast day at Irondequoit Bay. On a French map of the area from 1688 titled "Le Lac Ontario," Irondequoit Bay was referred to as the "swamp of the Senecas." #clouds #bay #ducks #reflections #nature #naturephotography #lakeontario #irondequoitbay

Despite the heat and lack of rain, wildflowers continue to bloom in #mtdiablostatepark in northern California, including this purple beauty, Bunchleaf Penstemon (Penstemon heterophyllus), that covers the hillsides along the trail atop the mountain. #flower #purple💜#bloomscrolling #nature

Happy Tuesday! It’s #PollinatorWeek, so here’s a bumble bee helicoptering between California Poppy blossoms carrying a sack of orange pollen. #BloomScrolling #Bee #NaturePhotography #photography #ECK #nature #gardens #poppies #nativeplants

The delightful Mt. Diablo Globe Lily or Fairy Lantern (Calochortus pulchellus) is beautiful and fascinating both in bloom and once gone to seed. Both photos taken in Mt. Diablo State Park in northern California. #fairy #flower #blooms #nature #nativeplants #nativeCA #seeds #naturephotography

The delightfully named Sticky Monkeyflower (Diplacus aurantiacus) blooms even in our hot California summer, and brightens up the Mt. Diablo State Park trailside with its pale orange/yellow blossoms. #nature #blooms #nativeplants #orange #flowers #naturephotography #bloomscrolling #CAparks
