It’s an outdoor houseplant, but I’m posting here because I noticed that the flowers don’t all have the same number of petals: some have 4, some have 5, and some have 6, all on the same plant. Is this typical for jade, or unusual?

Brown Pelicans Passing Each Other
This and another pelican swam past each other. One started flapping its wings as they approached, and then stopped once they’d passed each other.

It was a pretty big one, too, probably 3-4 feet tall and maybe 7-8 feet across. Definitely bigger than you usually see it as a houseplant
Usually.
I’ve seen some pretty big jade plants in gardens, too!
Tree Squirrels
I heard a child shout, “Squirrel!” off somewhere behind me, and then this squirrel came running across the lawn and then up a tree.
Mallard (male at Hahn Park)
Sliders
At the Japanese Garden section of the park. There is a sign warning about not taking the animals, including the koi (which are deliberately stocked, I’m sure) and the turtles, though it’s possible the turtles may have been simply released here as former pets rather than deliberately stocked.
