  1. #caterpillar #NativePlants #Iowa

    On the #DailyWalk, I checked out a few different Swamp Milkweed plants that I had noticed in bloom a few weeks ago.

    It looks like deer have chomped the young seedpods. Definitely not good for increasing the number of plants.

    On the good side, I found another monarch caterpillar.

  2. #Caterpillar #Butterflies #NativePlants

    On today’s #DailyWalk, I took along the loppers and a handsaw. Part of my trail system goes across an area that’s often too soggy to mow, and that area needed some clearing before I can go through again with the tractor/mower.

    Anyway, there’s swamp milkweed in the swampy area 🤔🤠 And on one plant I found a monarch butterfly caterpillar.

  3. Digging in the Shadow of NEMO

    This part of Oosterdokseiland was a building site back in 2011, and I rather enjoyed picking my way around the fencing. NEMO’s great green copper hull sits across the water like a ship that has run aground on purpose and this afternoon it had a proper foil i...

  4. Digging in the Shadow of NEMO

    This part of Oosterdokseiland was a building site back in 2011, and I rather enjoyed picking my way around the fencing. NEMO's great green copper hull sits across the water like a ship that has run aground on purpose and this afternoon it had a proper foil in the foreground: a battered Caterpillar 385B from Oudtzwanenburg's demolition crew, parked on a churned slab of rubble and looking entirely unbothered by the architecture behind it. Fifteen years on, and the island is all glass and […]

  5. The long road to Marrakesh: 40 years of copyright obstruction to human rights and social justice

    One of the little-known but extremely telling episodes in the history of modern copyright, discussed in Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available), concerns the Marrakesh Treaty. A post on the Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) site from 2017 has a good summary of what the treaty is about, and why it is important:

    It sets out exceptions and limits to copyright rules so that […]

  6. Love going outside right after it rains. All the little critters come out to explore!

    Met two friends today, a #caterpillar and a #PotatoBug.

    Relatively, we're all small.

  7. Here are a few #horsetail plants, seen on my walk #today (yesterday, actually).

    Plus a wandering "woolly bear" (#TigerMoth) #caterpillar.

    Horsetails are 150 million-year-old living fossils that were eaten by - yes! - Jurassic #dinosaurs.

    Also, their unique node spacing inspired #JohnNapier in 1614 to invent #logarithms.

    Admittedly, some rude US jurisdictions (wtf Oregon...?) classify them as noxious weeds.

    But imho this is an amazing plant with a wonderful résumé 💚
