Eight years ago today 🌿

Caesalpinia pulcherrima (Dwarf Poinciana or ʻohai aliʻi) blooming street side in Paia. This introduced plant comes from the West Indies, I love its great color! A member of the Pea family, Fabaceae, though most wouldn’t guess that. 😎
Frilly bright red flowers with very long stamens

Great Blue Heron preening on a post in the water of Bolsa Chica Wetlands in Southern California. This is a watercolor conversion of a photo that I took a few years ago.

This tree didn't give up, and neither should you.

Happy #ForestFriday 🌲

#scape #photography #trees #rainforest #pnw #nature #naturephotography #landscape #waterfall
A cedar tree grows in a sharp, deep U-curve over a small waterfall in a lush forest. The trunk dips low over the cascading water before sweeping straight upward. Dark, wet rocks and moss-covered embankments surround the falls, with vibrant green ferns and dense evergreen foliage filling the background.

In honour of #DarwinDay here is a finch eating stuff 🐦

Wherever you are, I hope you have had the opportunity today - and every day, for that matter - to enjoy some of nature's endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful.
