Doing some minor maintenance like password updates this morning. Expecting to have howling winds by midday, so it's a good day to plan on indoor activities. I'll make a run to the store to restock vino supplies, but other than that, I'll be done for the day.
Here are some shots from yesterday afternoon that highlight textures and colors in the backyard garden beds.

While we've had an abundance of native bumble bees, this season there are few butterflies and European honeybees. Still waiting for black swallowtail caterpillars to appear on the fennel.
This 4-day weekend is the observation period for iNaturalist's City Nature Challenge. So far, I've had little time for making observations since everywhere I've been has been cultivated. Tomorrow, though, I'll be out in the Cottonwood Gallery with plenty of native plants, insects, and birds.
Stand by for tomorrow's photos.
