Eagle Cap: Prospect Lake
My goal this weekend is to level-up my mountaineering skills and find four off-trail lakes. I’m sure there will be several route finding failures but hopefully some successes as well. After one failure, I navigated a faint boot trail over a pass to beautiful Prospect Lake. From there I descended off the back side of the lake down to the valley, including a steep chute of granite boulders.

@tuban_muzuru @mikako6 OK I'm gonna add that Meyer cites a source, and 18th century book that elaborates on the legend of Urashima Taro. Apparently the mermaid is Urashima's illegitimate daughter from a koi fish courtesan from the Dragon Palace's red light district. :D

Still waiting for some of the more unusual Autumn moths. Quite a lot in the moth box this morning but not huge diversity. Three to pick out are:
1) & 2) Four-spotted footman (male as only females have spots)
3) Dusky Thorn - two visited last night and I love their #cute faces
4) Small square spot - first of 2024

I repotted a sansevieria that had sprouted from an even taller one, and it looks like Brancusi's Bird In Space
I’ve been working on the part of my Joyful Meadow inspired by the glacial plain of Castelluccio, and I’m actually pretty tickled at how it’s turning out.😊 #Embroidery #IMadeThis
#SciArtSeptember Day 2 • weeping • My #SciArt #embroidery eye poem (2016), showing the venations of the eye with a circular poem.
The fruit of a kousa dogwood (Cornus kousa). These are just getting ripe now, and they're edible. They're very sweet, and it only recently dawned on me that their texture is similar to "Circus Peanuts" (a sugary candy that's shaped like giant peanuts). There's a tree right across the street from the physics building, and I sometimes stop to snack from it.
Whoops accidentally posted that last one followers-only. Here it is again for everyone.
We saw lots of caterpillars, including this banded tussock moth caterpillar
