@carpingdiem the wren 🤩
Perhaps I should call this a New Year cactus. First bloom open today.

edit: my answer might be cheating because the feeder is right outside
@redcrew it’s been a very inconsistent specimen, only throwing off a random bloom or two in the past few years, and then blooming in May this year! I hope this season’s showing is a trend setter 🤞
LOL I opted out in 2003 when I left an abusive ex and moved. 2024 my ass.
@IcooIey gosh I miss that age 😻
@faerye It can recognize particular animal faces and you can attach their names just like a human. I’ve never tried species!
This bacopa was planted in May for summer containers but is living its best life now in mid-to-late December.

I visited in 2021 during June so it wasn't the "best" season for it but was still lovely (and green!)
I wasn't sure of this before, but now I think I am.
You know how the male Anna's does the territorial dive/tail feather chirp display? I'd always read that this was related to mating, but my resident does this *to me* when I think he's had enough of me in his yard.
Apparently the nearly three hours I spent out there today was too much for his liking. He dived me twice.
lol the PNW had two of these in the span of a week and no national news coverage https://flipboard.com/@associatedpress/top-stories-u7govdf1z/-/a-QGUb0sQGSuuCx_Vz5uJ-Ww%3Aa%3A3199720-%2F0
@OldAintDead It’s so bad now that I’ve encountered phone trees that terminate the call if you don’t select options appropriately in the time they allow.
So majestic 😆
The hummingbird appreciation crowd on Mastodon is *strong*.
These are tiny ferns, each frond the size of my thumbnail.
@Catlynn we had a stretch of 13-14 deg F in Portland last January and mine parked himself on the string of lights I put around the feeder.
