Spiky Flowering Plants
I see these needle-like flowers on whatever type of grass this is all the time, but I’ve never found out what it’s called.
Bzzzzzz!
Bzzzzzz! A honey bee visiting clover flowers in the strip of lawn along the sidewalk. I still can't get over being able to get closeup photos like this using my phone.
Blue-eyed Grasses
I walk the north side of this road all the time and have never seen these tiny blue flowers. But they’re all over the south side of the same street.
Buckeye Butterfly
Buckeye #butterfly spotted in a field near LAX airport. There were a lot of butterflies of at least three types flitting about in the mustard, but this is the only one that stayed still long enough for me to catch a photo.
Final Landing Approach! Another shot from the hike at the marsh preserve earlier this month….

The flowers, apparently Matilija Poppies, had huge, flat white petals with these large yellow centers. They looked like fried eggs.

Oops… I realized I’ve already posted this one here. Well, I added more info this time, so at least it’s not a completely duplicate post. 🤦♂️

Largeflower Pink-Sorrel
The iceplant is landscaping. The purple flowers are the ones I’m listing as a “wild” observation.
This squirrel bounded along a wall carrying a walnut in its mouth…
This squirrel bounded along a wall carrying a walnut in its mouth as I walked down the sidewalk. It stopped and looked at me as if it had been caught in the act of walnut burglary. I had enough time to snap a couple of pictures with my phone *and* pull out my camera for a better shot before it scampered away.
