I went on a native and low-water garden tour here last weekend, so of course I took pictures! (Then, unfortunately, I forgot to write down what everything was.) For starters, here's a shot that makes the small plant look tall, with bonus ladybug:

1. a tall purple stalky plant, with a ladybug resting on one of the stalks

I took some pictures recently at the San Francisco Academy of Sciences, where there's a large open rainforest exhibit. Which means I have pairs of butterflies and poison dart frogs!

I keep going outside to look at the tomatoes, which are producing a ton of flowers:

I took a walk along a gorge and a waterfall last weekend, and it was just gorgeous! And also full of interesting water-cut rocks; a lot of the landscape around here is shale, which is layered and fractures along layers and faults to make really neat lines and patterns. Here's a shot of some rough water and the lines in the rock:

I always think that the stone looks so neat and tidy, like layercake or a stack of papers or something.

( several more under the cut because I couldn't DECIDE )

I walked by this rusty lawnmower sitting on someone's lawn a few days back, and thought the blades looked neat in the sun.

I finally pulled the card out of my camera! Here's a shot of a fire escape in late afternoon sun:
