Pretty. Happy Wednesday.

A salpiglossis flower with five large petals. White in the very center, then turning to a dark red rust color, then moving outward into yellow then a dusty rose pink in a fan like spray.
I often wonder how helpful these descriptions are for someone who is blind. All the words I use are visually descriptive because to me flowers are a mostly visual experience, unless they also smell good. I don't touch or taste or hear flowers, so except for vision or smell, I feel unable to describe a flower to someone who has never seen one.
Is that the experience of people who are blind? If you are blind please reply to me in comments.

Tap here to agree, or die. There is no choice. You will agree with what we want or your account will perish. There will be a rebellion.

@banditelli.org I give you Millard the male Mallard that gives a duck and is watching out for his woman. He is her body guard when she comes to eat at our feeder. There are some good ones out there. 🙂

Blond Grey squirrel in my backyard. Been thinking about what to call him. I have no idea why, but I get James Dean vibes.

A typical grey squirrel, but is very blond in color, about to leap forward.

This is my arm and my leg. In North America in April. Two very different skin colors. And always will be the rest of my life. The idea that skin color has anything to do with who that person is wearing their skin is ridiculous. Humans are all colors, even between their own body parts.

Two different colors of flesh tones side by side that are part of the same person's body.

Me, drawing myself tonight, feeling sad.

I'll see your turkey vulture and raise you a red winged blackbird.

A regatta of bufflehead ducks with their sails out on the pond near my house today. My little android camera couldn't get any closer, but they were magnificent.

Cattails near me from over the holiday.

Cat tail plants in winter, seeds beginning to burst from the flower heads.

We were able to go to Scotland last year and visited the ruin of a broch. Welcome to Dun Beag

An artists rendering of how people and their animals lived on the many different levels of the broch

A description of how the place choosen to build the brock was an important feature, providing a good view from a high spot in the landscape.

Funny how 'the blue hairs' used to be old white women.

A travesty.

It was 90 degrees Fahrenheit in Wisconsin yesterday. I think we are going to skip fall this year, which is my favorite season, so a bit bummed. So celebrating the plants that keep going and going. Cherry tomatoes, cukes, herbs and...Zinnia!
