They also turned putin’s damn ass into hitler, which is apt.

Not a filter. Dust from the Sahara rolling in.

Mexican redbud blooming. The flowers and seed pods are edible, btw.

[Wayward]

If Eastern redbuds’ flowers and seeds are edible like their Mexican cousins, I wish more critters of all types would eat more of them. Every single seed that drops from my neighbors’ trees into my yard sprouts and immediately sends down a taproot that makes weeding them out difficult. In their defense, they’re native and look pretty for the five minutes they’re in bloom.

Some type of lizard:

Do American Coots dive when they feed? Those look like the little fellows we love to watch dive in the park and guess where they’re going to re-surface.

[anon61221983]

Look at the pollen in that pond!

[ClutchLinkey]

I like the way you can see the coot’s foot so clearly!
Also - reminds me to keep my eyes open for “coltsfoot,” one of our earliest-blooming plants around here…

[bucaneer]

Here’s a Eurasian coot from a couple years ago. It’s still cold here, so they probably won’t be back for a week or two.

[anon23281680]

That sounds more like crepe myrtles. Those things are impossible to kill. The eastern redbud is also edible. Harvest flowers for a salad or the young pods (less than an inch) to eat raw or cooked. Cook the pods any way you would snow peas. Eastern Red Bud: Pea Pods Tree - Eat The Weeds and other things, too

So, just an old coot?
