Makes me want to hunt fossils... but I need to get rid of the thousands I already have!
4 years agoI think 2,996 miles is worthy of a celebration!
4 years agoI believe it is the same stuff that grew in the foothills near Mojave. The flower stalks are incredibly lightweight as one might expect for something with such explosive growth, and surprisingly strong.
Interesting how the stalk is so Agave-like and the leaves are so Yucca-like.
That’s surely the same plant. Interesting that it’s not a true yucca. No wonder it looks a bit different. I thought that the fractured bark-like stem was particularly interesting.

The wind blowing his wild, untamed locks
He smiles 'fore the view
His socks hiding his shoe
While his buttocks rest on the rocks.

4 years agoHe could be an olive-sided. He’s a bit larger than the small flycatchers, and I thought it was a phoebe when I first saw hi, from further away. I was disappointed to not get a better shot of him.
4 years agoThose little brown birds all look alike! I dug around and will make a wild guess that it might be an olive sided flycatcher... Then again, it might not. Just flycatcher is good enough for me!
