This poor insect met its demise downtown at Kearney and Maiden Lane. Very beautiful.
Multi-colored berries with soft white speckles on them. Edible?
Yes, we know that the common ladybug is known as Coccinellidae, but what is the other insect in this picture?
This invasive species is quite delicious! We snacked on them after lunch. I've never seen berries so thick as this!
Invasively delicious.
My friends say that this hole was likely taken over by the wasps. They seem happy there.
My friends tell me that birds commonly use Lace lichen for their nests and that seeing them on trees is an indicator of clean air, commonly with fog moisture.
This mystery bird had long, dark blue feathers. This was the best shot I got - it's all over the wetland areas of Tomales Bay.
Poison oak berries. My friends tell me that American Indians used to use these berries to flavor drinks and that they introduced poison oak to young children in order to develop immunity from the horrible poison oak allergy.
Don't let the beautiful purple flower fool you; this invasive species is a huge problem!
I can't find the latin species - my friends say this is "English teasel."
