Las mal llamadas malas hierbas presentan unos mecanismos de dispersión que, si de obras humanas se trataran, serían considerados auténticas maravillas de la ingeniería.

En este caso, el famoso vilano de Taraxacum (officinale?) que tanto gusta soplar.

[Halifax, NS] Urban sugaring a success for one Haligonian, but city not so sweet on idea
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/urban-sugaring-halifax-1.7500868

* former resident: great coastal city
* excellent universities, culture (food; music; diversity, e.g.1980's influx of Buddists)
* scenic beauty; tourism; festivals; fishing
* historical important: e.g. WWII convoy staging
* longish winters; like all places healthcare under strain

Furze: Fodder, Folklore, and the Smell of Coconut

A sudden change in the weather, as if the sky has grown bored. No more sun-drenched optimism; just a grey sheet of disinterest overhead.

This week #Asteroid #Flora passes across #NGC3628 the #HamburgerGalaxy in the #LeoTriplet. This video shows its position from 8th-13th April. The galaxy is faint so moonlight will make it difficult visually, but it's still a decent imaging target. This is just a line of sight effect! #AsteroidTransit

“Imaginary Floral Landscape” — An imaginary floral landscape of receding spring petals.

This feels like a floral version of my “imaginary landscape” photographs, in which I push the interpretation of the image significantly, to the point that I feel it is best to acknowledge what is going on. (To many photographers and flower-lovers it is obvious that this is not a “what I saw” photograph, but more a “what I imagined” photo.) The starting point was a photograph I made using a macro lens and shooting across the top of a group of flowers…continues: https://gdanmitchell.com/2025/04/07/imaginary-floral-landscape/

The skunk cabbage really grows a lot each week. Now imagine the birds and frogs in chorus. (I didn't enhance the green, I swear) #spring #flora #pnw
