Jaci Dawn

I spent an hour on my front steps, trying to coax the camera-shy hummers out of the rhododendron. I’d put the camera down, and they’d come out, chirping madly at me and buzzing my head and back. Bring the camera up to take a photo…zoom! They were off.

The result is: no hummer photos from the weekend.

But there was this fungus…

It was a very interesting jelly fungus.

Cactus, wire, and a rusty hoe.

Last year’s yucca canes.

A baby spider on the foxglove.

Dermestidae beetle (varied carpet beetle) on the peony.

My licorice ferns

And a strange u-turn in the skies.

The airplane was at such an altitude that it had to be coming south from Seattle and was turning back north to Seattle.

Interesting.
