Day 26 pink
There is a very old sage bush in the garden which receives no attention from me and this is how it repays me every year by having beautiful pink flowers.
Thanks everyone this has snuck into Explore.
Salvia officinalis (sage, also called garden sage, common sage, or culinary sage) is a perennial, evergreen subshrub, with woody stems, grayish leaves, and blue to purplish flowers. It is a member of the mint family Lamiaceae and native to the Mediterranean region, though it has naturalized in many places throughout the world. It has a long history of medicinal and culinary use, and in modern times as an ornamental garden plant. The common name "sage" is also used for a number of related and unrelated species. wikipedia
Taxonomy
Salvia officinalis was described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753. It has been grown for centuries in the Old World for its food and healing properties, and was often described in old herbals for the many miraculous properties attributed to it.[2] The specific epithet, officinalis, refers to the plant's medicinal use—the officina was the traditional storeroom of a monastery where herbs and medicines were stored.[1][3] S. officinalis has been classified under many other scientific names over the years, including six different names since 1940 alone.[4] It is the type species for the genus Salvia.
The second most commonly used species of sage is Salvia lavandulaefolia, which shares a similar composition with Salvia officinalis, with the exception that lavandulaefolia contains very little of the potentially toxic GABAA receptor-antagonizing monoterpenoid thujone.[
The magic of macro photography reveals just how hairy the "tricolor" sage from the garden is, contrasting with the texture of the onion skin. The combination became popular in stuffings because it makes rich food more digestible, according to Mrs. Grieve's Modern Herbal.
A redo from last week. This time the bird hopped on the same perch, but in better light and it allowed us to have a better angle.
Yet another sandstone bluff on the way to Steamboat Springs. This one was covered with lots of light green sagebrush.

“Lo, there do I see my father.
Lo, there do I see my mother,
and my sisters, and my brothers.
Lo, there do I see the line of my people,
Back to the beginning!
Lo, they do call to me.
They bid me take my place among them,
In the halls of Valhalla!
Where the brave may live forever!” - Viking Prayer

[I went and played in the rain because it's been FAR too long here in the Pacific Northwest since we've had a good rain. The awesome cloak AND raven necklace were gifts from my dear friend Peter. He knows me so well already.
Unrelated: I ate pocky and popcorn for dinner.]

Sage growing through the window of an old tin shed now fallen down. Frisco Ghost Town, Beaver County, Utah. HWW!
It’s been ages since I did a strangers photo and this photo was taken ages ago I was photographing a hotel interiors and stepped outside for some fresh air Sage was having a great time running after the ball and I got talking about Mark. As I’m a big baseball fan I noticed his San Francisco Giants hat so we talked baseball. Mark works in IT for Just Eat whom at the time I had never heard of.
Unlike other sages, Wood sage has very little scent, so has little value as a herb in cooking. It can be found on sand dunes, heaths and coastal cliffs, and along dry woodland rides, preferring acidic soils. Upright spikes of straw-coloured flowers can be seen from July to September and its plentiful seed provides food for many birds.
Salvia apiana is widely used by Native American peoples on the Pacific coast of the United States. The seed is a primary, traditional ingredient in pinole, a staple food. The Cahuilla people have traditionally harvested large quantities of the seed, then mixed it with wheat flour and sugar to make gruel and biscuits. The leaves and stems are a traditional food among the Chumash people and neighboring communities.
For healing use, several tribes have traditionally used the seed for removing foreign objects from the eye, similar to the way that Clary sage seeds have been used in Europe. A tea from the roots is traditional among the Cahuilla women for healing and strength after childbirth. Different parts of the plant are also used in ceremonies by several Native American cultures.

A fun day out birding with Magill. Seven Springs seems to be a very reliable place for Sage Thrasher. A little chilly at 23 degrees this morning!
This photo is one of the last 10 shots from 2020 that I have been re-uploading at the frantic pace of ten per day in an attempt to catch up.
Tomorrow, I will start uploading another selection of oldies (I will explain which ones and why), which will take an additional 10 days or so, before we can at last move on to photos of 2021 and (hopefully!) slow down the pace a bit...
Many thanks for your patience!
Macro shot of a sage flower in front of our house, taken in May 2020 with the D850 pulled out of the safe while the Z7 was being treated for a case of unglued leatherette cover.
I had to shoot this over my shoulder, she doesn't do this if you are looking at her. A corner of the eye jape.
