I love wildflower season in the San Juans. And one of my favorite wildflowers to experience is Jacob's Ladder. Thankfully, the Crater Lake Trail had a seemingly endless supply ready for me this past weekend.

This is fireweed, a rather glorious #NativePlant that appears in profusion in my yard each year. It's taller than you are! I've read that parts of it are edible, so I'm going to try some nibbles to see if it might become a part of my salads.

Tiny friends I met today

Today is #WildlifeWednesday. Show me your photos of wildlife in your corner of the planet.

Here's a female common Merganser (Mergus Merganser) with some of her ducklings. Photographed a few years ago in the Comox Valley, Vancouver Island, BC.

The weather may be grey, but my garden isn't.
So grateful for summer blossoms.

Asphalt jungle. All this is growing in the cracks in the asphalt of a parking lot.

@intrepidhero my all-time favorite. I've kept a copy on my hard drive ever since I first saw it.
@alexskunz a classic. it is very important.
@ireneista @alexskunz hidden text: “In Connor's second thesis it is stated
'There is no fate but what we make for ourselves! Does the routine destroy our creativity or do we lose creativity and fall into the routine?
Anyway, who's up for a road trip!”
@ireneista @alexskunz
That's a nice dream. It would be a shame if cisheteropastriarchal expectations…oh, oh no
@alexskunz I wish Randall annoyed the crap out of me less. He did do a couple that are close to my heart, like "Engineering Hubris".
@alexskunz Ah yes, democracy, famously without censorship.
@alexskunz I am eloquently now PRO Democracy, PRO Trans, PRO LGBT, PRO Immigrantion, ANTI Fascist, Anti Orban, Anti LePen, Anti Wagenkneckt, Anti Hoecke, Anti Weidel, Anti Schwarzer, Anti Merz, Anti Poullievre, Anti Trump, most importantly Anti USA, I will write that proudly and not take care about fascist tears and feelings.
@alexskunz Your post is trending on mastodon.social.
@alexskunz i think of this one often. helped shape my priorities in life.
@alexskunz
I was already a regular reader before this one but somehow missed it.

@alexskunz

Okay, yes. But, hear me out: exhaustion....

@alexskunz brings to mind this old quote:

“The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living”—Buckminster Fuller

@alexskunz what's the date of it? The site doesn't tell.
@Bananaft it does. Go to https://xkcd.com/archive/ and hover your mouse over the title.
