I was requested to paint a small wooden box by a friend. It's not overly complicated, but I think it turned out alright.

Participated in the annual National Butterfly count today in Charlottesville, VA. Some gorgeous butterflies but numbers were absolutely down this year. Happy to see a few classics looking good. Monarch, Sulphur, and Spicebush Swallowtail.

Plant of the Day

Sunday 30 July 2023

Union Terrace Gardens is a green space in Aberdeen’s city centre. It was originally opened in 1879, but the gardens were redesigned and reopened in December 2022. On a sunny terrace a pink flowered cultivar of Monarda (bee balm, bergamot, Oswego tea) was adding to the new display and was popular with pollinators.

Monarda didyma (Bee Balm 'Pardon My Pink’)

Hey tumblr - Pardon my Pink

According to tumblr, today I have 10,251 followers. This can’t be true. When you run into a number like this on a social media site, you should automatically divide by ten, and if in doubt, divide by ten again. Using this formula ten thousand becomes one hundred and that sounds just about right to me. It’s a happy day at Flowerishness when one of my posts gets a hundred likes.

When Elon Musk tried to back out of the Twitter deal he said that 35% of it’s accounts were actually ‘bots’. This probably understates the problem. Today I read that tumblr claims 102 million monthly visitors. I post nearly everyday and I must check each post ten times, so that’s three hundred monthly visits right there. 

I’m not just picking on tumblr, none of these social media companies are any better than the rest. They long ago learned how to stroke the egos of all of us content creators and rebloggers. I’m just the same as you and I’m no different than anybody else. it’s amazing what we’ll do to get one hundred pats on the head.
