The #seeds of a California fuchsia (Epilobium canum), which is not a real fuchsia, and a honey bee collecting its nectar. The fuchsia is a hardy native California #pollinator.

Love it when a #spider photobombs my salmon #rose photo! #flowers #bloomscrolling #insects #naturephotography #gardens #gardening

We have two #hummingbird feeders and it is hysterical to watch the local bully bird sit atop one feeder, prepared to fend off any intruders. He is an Anna's hummer, and the king of the forest. #nature

Didn't Henry VIII get mad at him for a painting that Holbein did of him?

Yes, right there.
Such amazing gardens. Wish I lived closer and didn't have to drive 2 hrs each way to get there.

Oh, wow. That would be fantastic. Thankfully, Filoli also has a fantastic dahlia garden, and I was able to take many, many photos of dahlias there.🌸🏵🌼😊

Not sure what the fuzziness on the bee is. Disease?

San Diego would be in my top ten of places to live so you did alright.

I took a macrophotography class that had us all using tripods, and I was just miserable. I final said no, I'd had it, and went back to manual. Just then, I saw a lovely butterfly and was able to photo it before it flew away. Only one in the class who did. Never looked back.

Puffy pink, yellow, and orange clouds fill the sky.

Fat stripes of orange and yellow clouds reflect the setting sun.

Bright pink clouds fill the sky.

An amazingly colorful and varied sunset tonight in Northern California. Clouds of pink, yellow, and orange filled the skies. Somewhere sailors are delighting.
