Honing the Art
An F-15C Eagle from the 433rd Weapons Squadron drops away from our tanker, during a Red Flag sortie over the Nellis Range. The "Satan's Angels" (433rd WPS) are the Weapons Instructor Course for the F-15C and F-22A. However, the Eagles were dropped from the syllabus back in 2021 as the retirement of the jets began.
songs of desperation
I played them for you
a moment, a love
a dream, aloud
a kiss, a cry
our rights, our wrongs
a moment, a love
a dream, aloud
a moment, a love
a dream,
aloud

I love the lustrous dark blue and the blazing red wing flags. And the shadow this Postman is leaving on these fuzzy Hot Lips!
Heliconius melpomene, the postman butterfly, common postman or simply postman, is a brightly colored butterfly found throughout Mexico and Central America. It was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. Its coloration coevolved with a sister species H. erato as a warning to predators of its inedibility; this is an example of Müllerian mimicry. H. melpomene was one of the first butterfly species observed to forage for pollen, a behavior that is common in other groups but rare in butterflies. Because of the recent rapid evolutionary radiation of the genus Heliconius and overlapping of its habitat with other related species, H. melpomene has been the subject of extensive study on speciaiztion and hybridization. Hybrids tend to have low fitness as they look different from the original species and no longer exhibit Müllerian mimicry.
Yes, this unusual flower is called Hot Lips! Hot Lips is a member of Rubiaceae, the coffee family. This large shrub is widely distributed in tropical forests from southern Mexico to northernmost Argentina. To attract its main pollinators, hummingbirds, its inconspicuous inflorescences are framed by two glossy, bright red bracts that look like a pair of pouting lips. An easily grown and attractive ornamental for the tropics, it also has a number of applications in traditional medicine.

“Haida artist Tamara Bell installs 215 shoes on the steps of Vancouver Art Gallery as a memorial to Indigenous children who died at residential schools”…
I took these last week, my first time downtown since February 2020. The memorial is heartbreaking and powerful.
This collage shows a portion of the small red flags across from the Art Gallery steps memorial. One for each child. I took these to honour all of the little children and their families. I was moved to tears as would anyone with a heart.

Linda, a volunteer, was doing back breaking work planting.
"Camas (Camas quamash) marked with red flags, a beautiful blue spring flower. The bulbs were cultivated as a staple food by the Indigenous peoples as were the white flagged Nodding onion (Allium cernuum). The third plant a little higher on the hill is Hardhack (Spirea douglasii ssp douglasii)"
