this year we left the raspberries on the bushes two weeks later than usual, and they produced exquisitely sweet ones. they’re so fragile that they’re not suitable for eating, but will make incredible jam today.

Today's dahlia color: orange!

So many bumblebees and other smaller bees are living their best lives getting intimate with the little purple blossoms on the Agastache foeniculum stalks, also called Giant Hyssop or Anise Hyssop.

Slow-motion pollinators!

In back on railing corner is a bowl filled with rocks we fill with water for the bees.

Interesting that they aren’t competing. Maybe some pollinators do compete but i don’t think I’ve ever seen it — except maybe hummingbirds!

A burst of yellow. #Photography #BloomScrolling

Good morning ️

Just living is not enough, said the butterfly…
One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower

Lily time in the garden ... late July 2025.

I’m growing black beauty tomatoes which truly are beautiful but I can’t tell when they are ripe. Any tips? #gardening #bloomscrolling

Dahlias for today: Red. Very very red.

Between old man shaky hands, a breeze and an excited bee this was hard to photograph

We started a tad before 7:00, fairly comfortable. Thank you Kengo, had it not been for you, I would be a very lazy man.
By the time we got back to our car, it was hot, and the lot was full. A bunch of friendly guys running on the trail acknowledging Kengo.
