Except for that which is flowing down my crack. 96 with high humidity here.
If you're a fisherman, the seed pods they form will have beautiful panfish worms about the size of cooked rice.
The fish love them.
Thanks for hosting bollox.
Let's have some fun tonight.
Who can tell us what this picture is of.
I'll be back later to see if anybody has the answer.

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

@dystopian
Thanks for playing. You win!
When I had seen many of these on my river runs I got hungry.
I'll eat a few and let the rest enjoy our warming waters.
to all for all the great posts... and after I hit and run last week, later I saw some great stuff from S.P., D., Mag., etc., and wished I could have said 'great work', and thanks!

I don't have any photos to share this week, but some amusing bird behavior--yesterday I watched a grackle feed its youngster a chunk of suet, then show the baby how to wipe its beak off, which it then repeated and kept doing it. It was cute. The backyard birds are voracious right now; they are going through about a couple pounds of seeds a day, and devoured an entire suet cake in probably less than 48 hours. I've also got catbirds coming to eat grapes and mealworms now!
Our garden is doing really well too. I'll post a photo of that soon too. The spinach and leaf lettuce is growing faster than we can eat it. The tomato plants are exploding and the broccoli is doing great. Whatever we don't eat is going to go in the freezer.
@Daenerys
that you had no photos.
Your description of mother grackle made up for it.
Sometimes less than a thousand words are much better than a picture.
Thanks.

Your description of momma bird teaching her baby how to eat is cute. Just like I enjoy watching the seasons at the cemetery you're enjoying watching the wildlife on your farm. Kudos!

There were problems with running a campaign of Joy while committing a genocide? Who could have guessed?
I always called this stuff Dawg Burr, but now I know its common name. Baklava. oops I mean Burclover.

I pulled apart one of the spirals, and sure enough it was full of tiny seeds. California burclover

Happy Friday... Thanks for the Photos
Only one shot this week. Posting and running. May be back later...

By the way Bollox, great likeness.
Stop Climate Change Silence - Start the Conversation

100 in Utah too
We normally don't get that hot until late July, but we've had 7 days of it starting in May.
Anyone know what this is? I pass it on my walk each day.

Yucca.

And here I thought it was something exotic
Well it is to me. I don't remember seeing it before. It was like the first time I saw an Agapanthus Bush in California. Or Wisteria.
Thanks for your answer.

Don't know
but I'm pulling it up here in the Chicago Suburbs. Also seeing half inch long ants whose bites burn like fire and raise red welts.
I've seen lots of changes. What doesn't change is people. Same old hairless apes.
Nice sky with intrusion.
Thanks for hosting bollox.

Unfortunately, introduced to and became a pest in Hawaii

coming in for a landing
watch out
Looks a little heavy
in the ass department.
The wooden boat is more interesting. Thanks for the pic.

It's ballast man
The lapstrake is fake, actually fiberglass.
Is this you in the boat?
If so it looks like a great way to relax.

Just wind, water, and boat. Liquid zen.
