Glacier Lily (Erythronium grandiflorum) from near the summit of Black Butte in California’s northern Coast Range. Rocks always make a photo great, but I am biased.
M4.7 earthquake near Truckee, CA on May 6 at 21:35 was recorded on my #RaspberryShake. I did not feel it.
Finally had a chance to visit the summit of Black Butte on the Mendocino NF. About time. A geologist’s wonderland: several identifiable glacial landforms (been deglaciated for an undetermined time AFAIK), metabasalt, gneiss, and 360° views.
First bloom of the peppers. Serranos in this case. 🌱
When the gusty winds are trying to uproot the top heavy tomatoes, one must get creative to save them. 🌱🍅
Can’t wait for For All Mankind season 3. Ridiculously good 2nd season 😳
Fairly rare earthquake (M3.0) in Chico, CA today at 11:26PDT. The #RaspberryShake managed to record it though I didn’t feel it 😕 I just noticed it occurred.
I’ve thinned at least a dozen nectarines off this young tree. This “Fantasia” Nectarine is incredibly fruitful. 🌳🌱
Japan — was that you, M6.8‽ #RaspberryShake
Tomatoes are incoming! 🌱
Cultivated California Wild Grapes are looking great after a heavy prune. I always forget to take before photos 🌱
Biiig kitten stretch!
And here’s the follow-up @raspishake graphic of the M3.7 at Lake Tahoe.
I really enjoy how Shadow and Bone (on Netflix) has integrated Six of Crows. Very smart.
The M3.8 Earthquake near Incline Village, CA at 15:33 UTC/08:33 PDT isn’t yet on the RaspberryShake app but it may well have been recorded by my @raspishake
Peppers and tomatoes got their second Jobes fertilization today in advance of likely rain. We really don’t want end rot on our fruit! Flowers should be developing on the peppers real soon. Fruit set is beginning on the tomatoes. Meanwhile, front yard annuals are looking hot 🌱
Going to be starting Shadow and Bone on Netflix today. Really good books by Leigh Bardugo.
M6.5 Tonga earthquake registered on my #RaspberryShake - first non-local earthquake I’ve seen recorded! Took 12 minutes for the seismic waves to hit my station.
My #RaspberryShake detected a M3.9 earthquake in the Bartlett Springs Fault Zone just northwest of Lake Pillsbury in the Mendocino National Forest. I was asleep — happened today at 04:18 PDT. Probably just shook a few rocks loose.
Might be a Copestylum mexicanum (Mexican cactus fly). If so, it is fittingly on a cultivated California wild rose flower.
