Filthy dirty San Francisco just this weekend!

A photo from Coit Tower, looking out over the San Francisco Bay and the Bay Bridge, on a beautiful sunny day. Boats are sailing, here and there.

Hummingbirds for my father. In his last years, he would sit in his study and watch hummingbirds at his window. After we scattered his ashes in a meadow in the Eastern Sierra, and rode back to the car, a hummingbird was hovering over a nearby flower. Had never seen one up so high.

My son's book, out in March, 2027, has a cover! www.instagram.com/p/DavLFxftv1M/ From @marinerbooks.bsky.social. "A heartbreaking, sexy debut following a tumultuous year in the life of a late-twenties gay textile artist who must help his father die as his own life transforms." Beautifully written:).

A young man wearing a beige knitted mask stand in front of a knit self-portrait, holding a novel called "End Of Life," with a picture of the same portrait on the cover. Patrick Carroll is the artist and author.

I think my favorite face in the World Cup is the Iranian goalie. He looks like the king of somewhere.

As Big Basin park recovers from its fire, apparently all kinds of less common butterflies are showing up. Some of them have made their way down the mountain to us. Witness a California Tortoiseshell on some simple roses in my front yard. 🌱

One thing you learn about gardening is that if you grow enough flowers you like there will be days when you can run outside, grab whatever, come back, cram your finds in some vases and presto chango beauty in the house. 🌱

Iceberg roses, the pink Bliss rose, two white hybrid tea buds, and a passiflora vine all in bud vases on a white credenza. The passiflora trails over the side.

My brilliant and beautiful son, apparently an icon of modern gay culture (according to his gallerist), artist and 2027 debut novelist (Mariner imprint), has released a collection of knitted, text-augmented thongs. Go take a look. He's also the sweetest guy:) Buy here. www.summon-elemental.com/shop

Many colorful knit thongs with the artist's textual work laid out to form an oval, tie strings crossing in the middle of the image. (Patrick Carroll)

Green border. Yes, I irrigate. It's California. Who knows how many more years this will be a reasonable approach? For now, the same sprinklers that water these plants also sustain 6 trees, 3 of them native species.

It is SO dangerous here. Those wild turkeys and women in orange dresses will get you every time.

Several images of San Francisco including a sign talking about wild turkeys.

It's brutal here on my TL today. Have a climbing rose and a vine. Grew over the fence from my neighbor's garden.

Hey, NYT, did you plan this for your digital front page today?

Oof. Maybe we need a Bluesky Day of Touching Grass. If we must be here, for every post on politics, we have to also post one photo of our real world. Can be scenic, but not required.
