I have posted too frequently in that other place and not frequently enough here because I’ve meant to be more intentional here, and then I get caught up in what it means to be intentional rather than just, say, dropping some good pictures here and enjoying them. And the great thing about doing that is that they’re easier to find here as a reminder - categorized, curated a little, not just moments in time shared with the metaverse (or not) but pictures for you and for me and for future me.

That’s intention enough, because today has otherwise been a really painful day.

On the left, Dara Queen Anne’s lace doesn’t attract pollinators really but the scabiosa with it does. I never wanted to have to dig up dahlias in the fall but they are worth it. This isn’t my showiest but the butterflies love it. And the late august allium on the right is covered in leaf cutter bees every time we go past.
