TM, that is a very unique tree; but I'm not a fan. The most unique Xmas tree I've ever seen was about 10/15 years ago at an airport waiting area. It was made entirely of potted poinsettia plants; similar to the attached photo.

Wow, that Kapok tree also grows in the Caribbean and Central America. I saw a tree in Jerez, Spain with a similar trunk and root system; but it was not a Kapok tree.
There were two trees close together; Mother Nature is so amazing.

I have a beautiful glass candle made form ash left from the 1980 eruption.

I hope you get to see it pupate and then become a beautiful moth.

To be honest, I've seen many of Ansel Adams' famous photos; but I had not seen the one titled, "Moonrise". Attached photo is the Ansel Adams monochrome photo.

@philliesfan1000.bsky.social Found the photo of the old "Rose of Sharon's" bloom: the color is a light purple. But in this photo it appears like a very dark pink? 🌱#bloomscrolling

I've planted several "Rose of Sharon" shrubs in several colors. This is one from last year and it has been blooming all year.

I have seen a small number of monarchs & fritillaries this year; their colors looked very vibrant.

In middle school, I had an English teacher who loved poetry. For extra credit, I memorized and recited "Invictus" and "Trees". Those were my favorite poems until I read "The Charge of The Light Brigade". 📚
I don't read books anymore; except for this little gem I found at a garage sale:

How many miles? I felt your pain on Saturday; my younger sister (77yrs) and I walked 2.4 miles at an event: "Walk to End Alzheimer's). It was 80* and a tad humid. We were whipped along with my nieces and nephews.

Good news regarding green turtles. I toured the fabulous Mercer Botanical Gardens today and saw these brown turtles. I thought they were props until another popped out of the water😂

Attaching my own Sunday weekend fine: A Banded Sphinx resting on the Bistro's backdoor. I relocated it to a potted plant because I feared someone would try to dispose of it😵‍💫It was gone this morning.
