One of my #FavoriteThings is #koreanfood, especially if it's #homemade.
It was hard to choose a dish, but my homemade Korean soy-braised eggs, #GyeranJorim ( #계란조림), are always so pretty.
They're also little #umami bombs of joy. 😋

"A Perfect Day"
Assateague Island National Seashore near Little Tom's Cove

I posted this for Summer Daze, but its #sky deserves its own moment, too.

Now for something REALLY #small:
The green alga, #Spirogyra, showing the ribbon-like helical arrangement of chloroplasts around the translucent organism.
The image was taken from a projection of a teaching microscope by using a #SamsungNote9

Bright lightsticks–Bright Hearts

The 4th BTS #PermissiontoDanceonStageLA Concert

This was the 1st tour #BTS did after quarantine was lifted. There are no words for the overwhelming joy that BTS & 50,000 #BTSARMY shared when they could finally be together.

I'm sure there are a lot of colorful trees this week. Here's my contribution of a #RedMaple from our lovely college grounds.

Who's visiting my Carrion Plant?

#Stapelia & other species have stunning flowers that emit the odor of rotting meat. This attracts flies, instead of bees, as pollinators.
This fly was quick & hard to capture with a phone

The dormant #volcano, Humphreys Peak, north of Flagstaff, AZ, showing the #vertical sides of its #caldera

It's called #Dookʼoʼoosłííd by the #Navajo & is considered sacred

Science meets art.
Bees see ultraviolet light (UV). Plants exploit this by having nectar guide patterns on their flowers that #glow in response to UV light. These patterns light the way for bees to the nectar & pollen-rich parts of flowers.
Bees are fed
Plants are pollinated
Win-win

Here is the finished #StuffedCucumberKimchi ( #OiSobagi #오이소박이).

I had really fresh #gochugaru ( #고추가루, powdered or flaked #Koreanchilis), so it turned out to be thermonuclear spicy—even for me. 🥵😂😋

What do you make with the #cucumbers your friend gave you?
#StuffedCucumberKimchi ( #OiSobagi #오이소박이) to eat tomorrow.
And—
#KoreanCucumberPickles ( #Oijangajji #오이장아찌) to use in #banchan ( #반찬) in a week or two.
Also—
#SoyMarinatedEggs ( #GyeranJangjorim #계란장조림) just because

Here's a screenshot of the yellow morph of a Male Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (Papilio glaucus) so that you can see his wing pattern clearly.

Here's a short clip of the yellow morph of a Male Eastern Tiger Swallowtail (Papilio glaucus). Note that he has no blue on his wings.
He was particularly zippy that #summer day and was the most difficult to #photograph & record.
