Prairie Pasqueflower (Pulsatilla patens), also known in Montana as the Prairie Crocus, Cut-leaf Anemone, or Eastern Pasqueflower. Early-spring bloomer that often appears while snow still lingers. A single, delicate wildflower rises from a forest floor thick with tan pine needles. The bloom has six pale lavender petals, each softly veined with fine, darker lines that draw the eye inward. The petals curve gently open, forming a shallow cup around a bright, densely packed yellow center made of tiny stamens that radiate like a miniature sun. The flower’s stem and sepals are covered in fine, silvery hairs, giving the plant a soft, downy appearance. At the base of the blossom, several young, folded buds emerge—small, fuzzy, and still tightly curled. The surrounding ground is a textured mat of long, dried pine needles in warm ochre tones, creating a natural contrast that makes the cool lavender of the petals stand out vividly. The atmosphere feels close-up, intimate, and calm—an early spring bloom pushing up through last year’s forest debris.

Happy #Stunday

The lavender star awakens to a cold spring
A yellow sun at her heart
Wearing her green dress covered in silvery threads
She’s waited all winter for a messenger
To deliver a golden kiss from her unknown lover

All are 2

I’m Rose, and this is my favorite part of the whole day—when the world gets quiet and I can melt into the couch like warm honey. My nose is resting on the soft fabric, my eyes are drifting closed, and everything feels peaceful and safe. The sun is brushing my fur, and I can still smell the faint scent of the humans I love, the ones who always make me feel like the happiest girl in Montana. I’m not dreaming yet, but I’m close—hovering in that perfect place where my paws are warm, my ears twitch softly, and I know I don’t have to do anything except relax and let the coziness hold me. If you’re wondering, yes… I am this adorable on purpose. It’s one of my many natural talents.

Another minute of #Zen sitting by the shore of #Bowman Lake Glacier National Park watching the skies fade into darkness

#nature #nationalparks #parkchat what surprises me most is although there were 50 or so people camping nearby I was alone to enjoy this

Sound up!!!

Amid a tangle of sun-bleached grasses and weathered pine needles, a single yellow wildflower rises with quiet determination. Its five bright petals form a small, perfectly rounded star, each one catching the afternoon light as though polished by it. At the flower’s base, a few green, slightly glossy leaves anchor it to the dry, rugged forest floor—a floor marked by brittle stems, scattered cones, and the muted browns and grays of late-season groundcover.

This striking structure is Las Lajas Sanctuary (Santuario de Las Lajas), located in the southern highlands of Colombia, near the town of Ipiales in the department of Nariño, very close to the border with Ecuador

Thank you 🙏

I am blissfully snoozing with my sister, completely fused into one golden cuddle-puddle. I’ve claimed her foreleg as my official pillow, and honestly, it’s perfect. Rose is draped over me like she owns the place, but I don’t mind—personal space is for humans. Maximum cuddles, zero personal space, and absolutely no apologies.

Goodnight Bluesky friends hopefully you love something special that lets you rest next to them like these two sisters

Had a little fun with the alt text…

The scene opens with a sweep of evergreen forest climbing a hillside, its dark greens softened by the last light of day. Above it, the sky has turned into a quiet symphony of color—broad, smooth clouds glowing with deep coral and rose, as if painted with a warm brush across a cool, blue-gray canvas. The shapes drift in gentle layers, their edges feathered, giving the sky a soft, dreamlike quality. The pink light seems to float, suspended just long enough to invite a lingering look before the evening takes it back. Below, the treetops stand in shadowed contrast—tall, steady sentinels holding their place while the sky performs its brief, luminous farewell.

It’s the weekend and the #sunset over the #ForestFriday

From my front yard tonight.
