One of my favourite muralists in the city is Nicolas Sanchez, who signs his work Alfalfa or LaPupila. Here he signed it just Pupila, which means eye. His art is quite eye-catching. There are not many murals from him in the city, but he does a wonderful graphic work. Originally from Venezuela he lives in Montevideo and Toronto. I have just discovered this mural, you can interpret it several ways. I leave it to you.

The forbidden fruit. There is an art exhibit in the Corleck Building. Several artists created a room with some fantastic creations. (6 installations in total). On my photo the room was transformed by artist couple 'The Dreamers' (Alfalfa + La Pupila). There is a lot of sexual energy in this installation; even more was on the opposite wall. The building will be renovated starting September and all the art will be gone.

Sometimes we get so tense but we can't speed up the time.
We need patient.

While waiting for the Great Blue heron to stop preening and start fishing, I started playing with photographing the wildflowers around me. This tiny insect was not visible to my naked eye, and I was surprised to find it when zooming in on the image.

Ziva, the weather girl, said that the rain begins tomorrow (April 3rd) evening and the temperature will decrease here in the north western Italy.
It was a thrill to see the bighorn come down the mountain just as I was passing by. It is rare for me to see them on this stretch, last time was about 7 years ago...I can just imagine their mouth watering anticipation to eat the sweet alfalfa on a cold, windy day. Almost made me want to try it too ;-) Every time I took a step they took a step not letting me out of their sight all the while gobbling it down so fast like it was their last meal. They really do seem to make the best of it everywhere they go.

Doing what they do, sucking the life out of this oriental poppy bud. Seems confused about what alfalfa looks like.
23. A lot of the Sulphurs are similar looking. Many have pink wing edges.
Thanks to Norbert Kondla, one of the authors of "Alberta Butterflies", for looking at this image I sent to him, and making the identification.

It is also known as El Cerro Centinela, by the Mexicans, and Wi'Shspa, by the Kwapa: Cocopah people.
Mount Signal was used by the early Pioneers and Native Americans as a landmark to help guide them through the desert. Most of the fields in the area are currently growing alfalfa or sugar beets.
As seen from the I-95 highway; this was the first time I managed to take a picture, usually it’s too late to reach for the camera.
Very near home is a field that has quite a bit of Alfalfa. Even though it had been breezy much of the time I had gone out in hopes of getting a picture or two of free growing plant with such lovely little blooms. On this occasion I stumbled across whatever this creature was. I have no idea on the ID, and to be honest it is not really important. In the tags I have listed it as an insect, but I am not sure of that, as it does not, at least to my untrained eyes appear to have a three-part body structure.
I took a number of shots of it from different angles, but only a couple were in decent focus and this was the best of the lot.
EDIT: Many thanks to J. R. Page for pointing out that Alfalfa is actually one word, and not two, as I had originally spelled it.

"An introduced plant from southeastern Europe now so common it is considered wild." - so states my prairie wildflower guide. Alfalfa comes in a variety of colours, from deep purple to mauve, pink, pale blue, and off-white; there is even a yellow species. Long used as a high protein hay crop for livestock in winter. My friend Maurice allows his horses to graze on the dense alfalfa stands that grow alongside the ditch opposite the country road running past his house, which is where I made this shot last July.

The piggies love to receive a new alfalfa ring in their playpen. They enjoy nibbling the alfalfa but really these rings are mostly meadow hay which they dive into and claim as their very own personal nest. I'll have to start giving two at a time otherwise there's always one piggy left out in the cold.
Suddenly the town and surround farms are awash in bright yellow butterflies. They're also known as "alfalfa butterflies", and think that they're suddenly more visible because the alfalfa crops have been harvested. So they've had to leave the alfalfa fields and come into town.
Davis, Ca. August, 2020. Not the sharpest picture I ever took, I have no idea how I got that soft-focus effect, but I like it.
