Flower of the day. The delicate orchid-like Roscoea, a tuberous perennial plant belonging to the ginger family (Zingiberaceae), native to woodland regions of the Himalayas, China, and Vietnam. Mine finally bloomed after ten years.

The delicate orchid-like blossom of Roscoea, a genus of tuberous perennial plants belonging to the ginger family (Zingiberaceae), native to alpine and woodland regions of the Himalayas, China, and Vietnam. Often called hardy ginger, they are famous for producing exotic, hooded blossoms that closely resemble orchids. They feature grass-green, lance-shaped leaves that resemble miniature corn stalks, topped with colorful flowers in shades of purple.

Yeah sure - because we can always offshore polluting industries somewhere else?

Recent critiques point that EKC is rather N shape not reversed U shaped.

A pinkish lavender daisy fills the frame as it lays open to the sun. Droplets of rain sit on its petals clinging to life. “All my heart is yours, sir: it belongs to you; and with you it would remain, were fate to exile the rest of me from your presence forever.” ― Charlotte Bronte

While watching burrowing owls, I heard a meadowlark nearby. Staying still, he popped up almost too close for my lens, then slipped into the grass and sang — either to me or to taunt the owls as we saw earlier in the week.

Travels this month have been fun, but exhausting - the sad side of adhd is that even the fun stuff takes it's toll - and I know that's a first world problem to some - but it's something we don't talk about enough.

In the whispers of the trees,
I hear my ancestors’ echoes—
their light rooted in the land
they left behind.

Mountains and river remind me
that our connection lives on.
Though they’ve gone,
hope we’ll meet again. 💖🌟🕊️

Let's be honest do you identify with Mr. Energetic or the owl pretending he doesn't see him?

Local lore has is that these windows once looked out from the town’s brothel. Old wrought iron headboards could once be glimpsed through these upstairs windows.
