A very large pear tree blooming just behind Coralville City Hall. Forgot to get a long shot to show its size. It is larger than nearby buildings and a really nice egg-shaped form.

I don't have rhododendrons in my garden but fortunately the local library has a bush amid its landscaping so I still get to enjoy them every spring 👍.

"Goo' 'orning!"

Foxy fox squirrel on Clear Creek Trail last Thursday.

Fox squirrels are the largest tree squirrel native to NA. Much burlier as well if you take a gander at those shoulders and biceps 💪.

Local squirrel eats nut.

Just prior was an epic battle ⚔️ w/ a neighbor squirrel but no pics (womp, womp). Just the victor w/ its spoils.

ION, the nearest eagle nest to me appears to be occupied so we may have another chick this year.

Came across mistflower (Conoclinium coelestinum) a few yrs back & was enamored w/ those pale purple flowers that remind me of coral or anemones.

Gonna try growing it in baskets in my garden this yr. Supposed to be easy to grow🤞
