Winchester Cathedral A white sport of 'Mary Rose', with the occasional touch of pink. It produces a mass of medium-sized, loose petalled, fragrant rosettes, and continues to bloom at regular intervals throughout the summer. Named after one of the finest cathedrals in Britain. Grace Rose Farm

For today's #BlueSkyArtShow, one of the topics is #FavoriteThings. I have to say that one of my fave things to photo are #puffins. These two #birds from the #WestmanIslands in #Iceland had so much character, and the group shot was fun! #BirdPhotography #photography

Today's #sixonsaturday features Poinsettias, now the top‑selling potted flowering plant in the United States, which are named after Joel Roberts Poinsett, the first U.S. minister to Mexico, appointed by President John Quincy Adams in 1825, who introduced the plant to the U.S. in the late 1820s

One of my #FavoriteThings -catching the moon before sunset on a clear evening. The tree was just starting to wake up for spring, the light was perfect, and there she was, already claiming her spot in the sky, captured on my cell phone

This really was an amazingly deep orange color. I'm thinking it's Witch's Butter or Orange Jelly Fungus (Tremella mesenterica) growing on a flat-to-the-ground small stump.

is a popular Japanese shrub/climber rose known for its large, double, apricot-yellow to pink blooms with a strong, fruity fragrance, excellent disease resistance, and heat tolerance, making it a highly sought-after, repeat-blooming variety for gardens and bouquets. By Lily Liu

A cricket or katydid nymph (Orthoptera: Ensifera) hiding from my attempts to photograph it just before sunset. Crickets and katydids can be distinguished from grasshoppers thanks to their long antennae. Grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Caelifera) have short antennae. Blissfield Michigan, 02 Jul 2025.
