Been seeing other Hypericum species in the hills; thought to throw in this ubiquitous landscaping favorite. Don't know what it's potential to be invasive; but we are certainly giving it every chance in using it to cover dry slopes everywhere.

Everyone calls this 'chicory'. A wonderfully tough plant that provides cheerful blue flowers along our desiccated roads all summer and into fall. Not native; but has moved into real estate no one else seems to want...

Found this little critter while exploring a hidden creek near Altruria Heights.

Guessing it's some sort of damselfly, but will leave the ID-ing up to the experts!

Goats brought in to graze on grasses at work.

Never realized how playful they could be, or just how wide their vocal range is! (I once mistook their cries for a child crying out for help.)

One of them even half-stood up to eat some of the Eucalyptus leaves--wow!

Last time I saw pigeons were back when I lived in a crowded urban city environment--so somehow the sight of these two was both uncommon and exciting!
