Wild radish flowers found between the road and a flood control basin. I’ve started posting wildlife and plant observations to iNaturalist, which is how I found out what this plant is.

Looks like it’s already wildfire season again.
Looks like it’s already #wildfire season again. Maybe somewhere out near Silverado Canyon or Lake Elsinore? That smoke plume is roughtin the direction of Saddleback when it’s visible from here. #socal
[A few days later:] Or maybe not. I haven’t found anything else, so maybe it was closer than it looked and/or put out quickly.
Fly away!
Photo taken at: Madrona Marsh Preserve and Nature Center
Fly away! This crane egret was standing on the road around #MadronaMarsh, swaying back and forth and looking upward like it was dancing or something, until it finally decided to fly off.
Flashback: A tropical stream in Hawaii
Photo taken at: Akaka Falls State Park
Flashback: A #tropical #stream in #Hawaii, somewhere along the trail to the 420-ft Akaka Falls on the Big Island. I’ve been digging out the originals of photos I posted in low resolution back in the day. This seemed like a good one for #EarthDay.
Correction: 440 feet. Not that they’re in this photo anyway.
Found my tourist snapshots from visiting NotreDameCathedral way back when.
Found my tourist snapshots from visiting #NotreDameCathedral way back when. Gloomy day with scaffolding, and a note that none of the inside photos came out. I can see why I never scanned them, though I might dig out the negatives and do that now just to get them onto digital.
Figured I’d use the 1977 filter on this, given the architecture

Interesting! The filter is apparently applied on top of the attached image, because Mastodon shows the unfiltered image.

There’s a hawthorn hedge near work that’s absolutely covered with flowers for a length of around 40 feet. I walk past it several times a week. I’d never noticed the scent of these flowers before, but it’s impossible to miss right now!
Correction: It’s more like 100 feet. Not sure why I wrote 40.

Just a few Flashes (and a Rainbow Raider) who I saw at WonderCon this year
Just a few Flashes (and a Rainbow Raider) who I saw at WonderCon this year. There were a bunch more, including a TV Barry/Iris couple, a Jedi Flash, and more.
These are just the ones who slowed down long enough for me to take a photo! 🙂 Check out my full cosplay gallery on Flickr:

There was a lot of Harry Potter cosplay at WonderCon…
There was a lot of #HarryPotter #cosplay at #WonderCon this past weekend! Here are some of my photos. There are a lot more that I missed – people dressed as the Malfoys, students of course, other professors and so on.

Spring at the local botanic gardens.
Spring at the local botanic gardens. Cherry blossoms, an artfully arranged “living wall” of plants, an aloe with its flower stalk, and some poppies.
