Продължение на поредицата aquamoth, this time with video from Science Friday! Да, Трябва да го свържа, защото wordpress няма да се вгради… Благодаря Тед, разбра! A few images from my weekend mothing trip down to Shell Creek, San Luis Obispo County. Early spring along the central coast is stunning, and the back roads were packed with flower watchers.
