A wide landscape photograph capturing three golden-brown swamp deer wading through a dense, expansive field of flowering water hyacinths. In the lower-center foreground, one deer stands prominently, facing forward with its large ears alert and dark eyes looking toward the camera. To its left, a second deer is partially visible, facing downward into the vegetation. Further back and to the right, a third deer stands in profile, facing left with its head lowered. The entire middle ground is a vibrant blanket of light purple and lavender hyacinth blossoms interspersed with bright green leaves, stretching across the frame to a softly blurred background of green foliage.

    In early 2023, I took 2 cuttings from a rose plant at Jubilee Hospital gardens. I propagated the cuttings in our front yard. I grew them for my parents. Dad passed away before any of the cuttings propagated had matured enough to bloom. This year, it's blooming a lot. This is one of the roses from that propagation.

                                            When I worked at a nature sanctuary, we had lots of Pink Lady Slippers.

                                            Unfortunately, people would steal them, (presumably) to transplant them in their own yards.

                                            It isn’t that easy. Lady Slippers depend on a symbiotic relationship with fungi. More often than not, digging them up is a death sentence.

                                            We tried to educate people not to take them. When that didn’t work we put up “Keep Out - Poison Ivy!” signs on the edges of where they grew.

                                            That worked pretty well.

                                            A fairly stout plant, about 7 inches high with leaves spanning out about 10 inches is growing by itself in the woods. There are no other green plants within 50 yards growing in the vicinity. The sturdy stalk bends as it reaches its peak. Dangling from the peak is a pink, veiny looking bulbous sac that is the flower.

                                                  Where do I even fuckin begin? To start, Sherbert is fine ~ she's having a fantastic day. 🦜 😊

                                                  Me, not so much. It's a six -aid day ~ details aren't necessary, but know that one of them is because of my stupid fingernail. 🩸 🩹 🩹 🩹 🩹 🩹 🩹

                                                  My finger didn't get much worse, but the same hand is showing the effects from the crash (pic). Honestly, it only looks so bad because of the blood thinners ~ it doesn't hurt.

                                                  There is a mysterious scratch on my left eyelid. (pic) Not a clue. 👁️

                                                  I should have invested in stock. Been blowing my nose ALL morning. (I buy 10 boxes at a time (pic)... the 180 count ones 😳 ) It's annoying.

                                                  Proofreading and beta reading a novel for a friend. Never noticed there were no page numbers printed on each page. The stack is on my desk ... a chance meeting with the handle of a broom knocked the whole thing off the desk. 😭

                                                  But, I do having icing on a non-existent cake! My cleaning lady brought me a vase of from her garden! They smell divine! 🥰 💐 😥

                                                  Please send puppies and chocolate. 💜

                                                  My left hand, splayed. Fingernails are not visible. I am wearing an opal ring. The top of the hand is basically covered in bruises ~ the darkest purple one is a hematoma, the rest normal bruising. My bird finger is bruised from the second knuckle down to where it meets the top of the hand. It looks brown-ish in the photo, but IRL it's purple-ish/green/brown. None of these hurt.

My eye is green.

                                                    Late Spring, being what it is, continues to provide ample opportunity to indulge my pension for snapping pics of blooming around the garden - in pots and in the ground. I just can’t resist capturing the beauty; I just wish you could smell the Wallflowers, the Mock Orange and the old-school roses. Regrettably our beautiful Hydrangea has no aroma, but what it lacks for in smell, it surely makes up for in the shear splendor of the blooms.

Drops of rainwater shine on the surface of the petals. The background is dark green and with a few purple flower buds still closed.

Des goutes d'eau de pluie brillent sur la surface des pétales. L'arrière-plan est vert foncé et avec quelques boutons de fleurs mauve encore fermés.
