Captured my first coyote last month while on a neighborhood walk! From a distance, he appeared large and healthy.

I just can't resist beautiful wildflowers! They grow in every corner of my garden and are always a source of inspiration for paintings.

Here is one from a few years ago - enjoy!

For as often as I tromp around in the woods I have never found Ghost Pipes THIS color. From what I see online, it’s a rare variant of the usually whitish/pinkish Monotropa uniflora.

One of my favorite discoveries this summer!

#Nature #NewEngland #plants

Approximately 15 Ghost Pipes, or Corpse Plants are growing straight up from the forest floor. Whereas the majority of these plants in North America are white or pink or sometimes yellowish, these are licorice red. They resemble red asparagus complete with the little notches on their stem. At the top they have lantern shaped flowers, that normally drop downward, but these are pollinated so they stand erect.

Waxcaps are tiny bursts of color you often see at this time of the year. Red, yellow, green, gray, purple… but it’s the orange ones I most enjoy. Especially when in a mound of lush moss.

They can be a bear to ID as many species have a large range of color over their short lifespans. Field guides often differ in the colors they depict.

I’m happy just to see them on my hikes.

Honey Waxcap
[Hygrocybe reidii]

Sitting on a bright green mound of moss is an out of focus pinecone with its open end angled toward the camera, and a small mushroom. The mushroom is about 1.5 inches high with an orange waxy looking stem and a reddish orange waxy looking cap. In the background are various low woody shrubs and leafed trees.

A weathered stone structure on the East Rim of the Grand Canyon blends into the rugged landscape. Twisted tree branches frame the vast, layered rock formations, while soft clouds float above, capturing the canyon's timeless beauty and scale

This scene captures a quiet moment on the edge of the Grand Canyon’s East Rim. In the foreground, a small, weathered stone building rests on a cliff, blending seamlessly into the rugged terrain. Nearby, a gnarled tree, its branches bare and twisted, stretches towards the canyon, adding an organic, almost sculptural element. In the background, the vast expanse of the canyon spreads out with layered rock formations in shades of red and brown, fading into the distance. Above, the sky is bright with soft clouds, creating a peaceful contrast to the dramatic landscape below.

This Sandhill Crane, with its distinctive red crown, gracefully preens its soft, silver-gray feathers against the warm backdrop of golden grasses. The bird's focused pose highlights the intricate details of its plumage.

A Sandhill Crane is captured in a moment of calm, preening its feathers. The bird's body is covered in soft, smooth, silvery-gray feathers, while its head is crowned with a vivid red patch, which stands out in contrast. The crane's long neck is gently curved as it tends to its feathers, and the bird's sleek form is nestled against a backdrop of golden, dried grasses, evoking the warmth of a sunlit day. The overall feeling of the scene is one of quiet concentration and natural beauty.

Most of the leaves are down on the ground by now, but a few trees are quite obstinate and refuse to denude themselves.

And while a blustery wind will manage to rip off most of what remains, a few leaves will implacably stick it out through all of winter and into spring.

I just really admire stubbornness.

Years ago, when our families were young and my parents still alive, we all gathered together for Thanksgiving. Two sisters-in-law had a friendly, annual rivalry for who made the best mashed potatoes.

Today, two of my adult daughters vie for the same accolade.

Good memories are made from good times together.

"The spotted hawk swoops by and accuses me, he complains of my gab and my loitering.

I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable,
I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world."

I do believe I'd like to just stand here for a bit and look out at the landscape, a kingdom of trees encircled by low mountains, one in which there is no palace, no war department, and no king.

It was a place to wander about in while feeling amazed and peaceful at the same time. The mountains in the background were grand, immovable, and imposing with an unusual sense of benevolence that made me feel watched over and protected.

I imagine that's why the trees seemed so happy, swaying gently in a cool breeze, nodding a friendly hello to me as I walked through.

Top down view of three large mushroom caps and a person’s outstretched hand alongside them to show how large they are. The mushrooms vary in size from 4-7 inches across. And they overlap each other. They are light tan with a brown umbo (protrusion) in the center. Each has flecks on the top which circle the umbo.

#OTD in 1962.

Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring is published, inspiring an environmental movement and the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The book documented the environmental harm caused by the indiscriminate use of DDT, a pesticide used by soldiers during WW2. Carson accused the chemical industry of spreading disinformation, and public officials of accepting the industry's marketing claims unquestioningly.
