Next time you’re walking along a mountainous forest trail, look for tiny pops of purple, and you’ll meet the stunning Calypso orchid, aka the fairy slipper. While it may be beautiful, be sure to leave this one in the ground. Picking this flower breaks the roots, unfortunately killing the plant.

Serendipity. Came out of my doctors office on the San Diego River. I heard peregrine falcons & then spent 2 hours watching & listening to 5(!) peregrines at one time.Fantastic! It was drizzly & bad light, 5 and 8 stories up. I will hopefully get better shots when the weather improves & I go back. 🪶
