Same energy. Great Hall Catherine Palace (aka Summer Palace). Catharine 1 is painted in the center of the ceiling with other rulers in awe of her. The room I think of when I think of Trump. Honestly is.

Live these posts! Only thing I can add as our Cooper’s Hawk is good at hiding in our giant pine.

A short clip of said predator hunting. 🌱

Went to take a picture of a lovely monarch feeding when I noticed the well camouflaged predator hunting flies on the same plant. 🌱

A lovely evening for porch sitting.

Hoping that this beautiful swallowtail plays eggs on this (past its springtime prime blooms) gas plant this year! 🌱

Hoping the sudden heat here doesn’t mean my peonies will be short-lived. Finally opening this week and they’re gorgeous. 🌱

I know I posted these last year, but they really are one of my favorite iris. Closely matched by that coolest of flowers - columbine. 🌱

Wegela finally looking good. 🌱

Can’t love the shade garden more this time of year. 🪏

It was much warmer a week ago. Definitely have to see York again, and not during a work trip! Beautiful.
