This huge moth fluttered all over the porch and finally settled down and let me get a pic. It's a Black Witch Moth.

Sky rains white, falls as tree blossoms
Going Somewhere, Slowly, Maybe
Oxalis. A native that grows from a small bulb (Thanks Doug)
Lots of these after it rained. The "bat" shadow is my camera. Also called Violet woodsorrel.
Native Yarrow
This looks like fern, and was very unexpectedly growing by BD's driveway It's only a few inches tall. I only happened to notice it when I hung my coat on a tree while walking down the road. Even BD didn't know it was there! Doug pointed out that it's native yarrow. I updated the picture now that it survived all winter (down to the low 20's) and yet it stayed green the whole time and has now bloomed. Later I found a whole group of two foot tall blooming specimans across the road and down a lot. Today I saw two more "bunches" of it on Spears Ranch. It's amazing what gros and you never see unless you look!
