I crossed the street to see if there were herons or egrets in the ditch that feeds the lagoon, and this is what I saw.
They almost looked like lily or lotus pads, but it’s a cluster of green algae.
I hope it’s not toxic, BUT it clearly demonstrates how things that look beautiful might be harmful, noxious, destructive, and dangerous.

“Compassion is the awareness of a deep connection between yourself and all creatures.”
This picture could totally be me.
Someone once told me I was a wolf in a former life and I wasn’t actually all that surprised. Even as a little girl in Detroit. somehow I always knew that wolves and coyotes were my spirit animals.
During my lifetime, I rescued a wolf hybrid, studied wolves in college, and worked with wolves at a wildlife refuge.
There’s nothing to compare with the feeling of deep intelligence when a wolf looks directly into your eyes. It’s transcendent.
Humans really really need to stop murdering sentient beings. Really. It breaks my heart.
Finally, I was swift enough to snap a couple photos of this tiny hummingbird perched for the briefest of moments on a string of outdoor lights.
I haven’t had one nest on the deck in a couple of years, but they’re all around.
Hello, friend!
