#bloomscrolling 🌱🌹

submitted 7 hours ago • 3 comments

After months of battling what feels like every pest possible, I got a rose! It's changing color! Yesterday it was light yellow and pink; today it's significantly more vibrant. Very neat! I'm excited to see what it looks like tomorrow. Wonder if it's temperature, pH, or just the hybrid🌹 🌱 🧪 🍎🥽👩‍🔬🧬

I took this photo at a park near Syracuse, NY a few years ago. Unedited...just the beauty of nature! I remember how peaceful it was like it was yesterday. #NY #Syracuse #nature #woods #trees #YesNY

Found this beautiful guy in my garden! He was kind enough to pose for a photoshoot while I tried to figure out how to capture such a speedy bug. Great blue skimmer, I think. #bugs #garden #dragonfly 🌱

New design for my #Redbubble shop! This design features a cornflower photographed in my yard. I reduced markup substantially on the Classic T-Shirt in this design only; down from 29.99 to 20.99. I had fun with this; I love wildflowers #flower #nature #plants #shop www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/1716...

While love might last forever... thermodynamically, diamonds won’t. At standard temp and pressure, graphite is the more stable form of carbon. Kinetics keep diamonds brilliant for a lifetime with a high activation energy for conversion #love 🧪💎💍👩‍🔬🧬🥽🍎 #stemfactually

This is very neat! Lower doses required, which could reduce even more any small vaccine-associated risks, and it is fridge stable, increasing access and ease of storage. Hopefully it's approved for all ages soon #moderna #covid #vaccine #vaccinate 🧪👩‍🔬🧬🍎🥽 www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/fda...

Not sure who these babies belong to! My guess is an orb weaver since they frequent our porch 🕷️ 🕸️ 🌱 #bugs

Found this beautiful cornflower right outside next to my still-flowerless planter. I never mind being one-upped by nature 😂 🌱💠 #bloomscrolling

If you're in an area where there are ticks, don't forget your daily tick checks throughout the spring, summer, and fall. They're everywhere! It's been raining and I've not been outside for 2 days and just found a tick on me. They are sneaky! 🌱🍎 #ticks #bugs #yuck #donteatme
