What more could you possibly want from a plant? You pick the flowers, it produces more and more and each time you pick one flower, 5 more pop up after you blinked 😂🥰😍 Currently have 7 vases around the house with these beauties in! 😍😍😍

Scrolling through X - I don’t know what’s wrong with my algorithm but all I see is ‘body language experts’ analysing the royal family, or the police driving at a cow? So I’m sharing this #peakdistrict barn in the golden evening light for anyone who needs balm for their eyes.

Just found out that rabbits can swim. Also learned their ears go into swim mode when they do. This is important news.

I also found a feather in my garden. Great horned owl, I'm guessing. I saw an owl in my neighbor's yard last night.

When you will encounter this pieces of art in your trips at the Mediterranean shore, stop for a second and ponder at the artisan who spent years of its life grafting and caring for this monument to beauty ! Multi grafted bougainvillea in all its splendor!

This month’s full moon rises on 23rd May. The Algonquin people of North America named it the “Flower Moon”, because this is the time when everything begins to bloom abundantly. Other names for May’s #fullmoon include the hare moon, planting moon, and the budding moon. #folklore

Mentally, I'm a gray treefrog sitting on a berry near a wetland.

America’s first national park is filled with grandeur, of things not found in most parts of the US. But beyond the park lies a different kind of experience - Bozeman is a bustling mountain town filled with unforgettable experiences.
