sing like wildflowers

My full and kooky life as a homeschooling mommy to 2 great kids, raising a child with HLHS (Hypolastic Left Heart Syndrome), coping with depression, following Jesus, and being much too camera happy.

Weather this Monday afternoon was breezy and sunny, a perfect kind of day to get some fresh air. We found new flower specimens, plants, and birds on our walk.

Vinca Major. Greater Periwinkle
Claytonia parviflora, native to California. Abundant here with varying sizes. Some were turning yellow and not as lush green as this one.
Pineapple weed. New small growths on the walking path. I wonder how tall and bushy they will become over time.
Hairy vetch

Thank you for visiting, dear readers! Have a wonderful start to a new day and hope you find moments of refreshment throughout your day. ~Esther

    So many here that I’m not familiar with. Just a note: even when some app suggests a mushroom is edible, don’t try it unless a local expert confirms it. Fungi of all sorts are terrifically hard to identify: look, but don’t sauté is the best advice!

      Oh, don’t worry! I wouldn’t try a wild mushroom no matter what the app told me. It would be a frightful experience. lol. It must take a lot of studying and research to become a fungi expert, hopefully, they don’t have any bad experiences from it.
