Here are my Perpetual Journal nature observations fm my yard 1, 2 & 3 yrs ago this week: Prickly Pear fruits; Velvet Mesquite catkins & seedpods; Western Tanager. This week in ‘26 we see lots of PP fruits, some VM catkins, & no Tanagers.

I keep a Perpetual Journal; here are my entries from 1, 2 & 3 yrs ago this week: a spotted Red Velvet Mite; Long-tailed Antlion; Plume Moth; Black-headed Grosbeak. In ‘26 I’ve seen only solid RVMs; 1 L-tA; a few PMs & no B-h Gs.

1 of the joys of keeping a Perpetual Journal is seeing what happened this week in previous years. Here’s my PJ art of Tucson nature observations 1, 2 & 3 years ago this week. In ‘23 we got snow. In ‘26 the temp’s been over 90°!

I love watching Prickly Pear tunas (fruits) change color from green>pink>maroon so I used data visualization in my art to track the color change. On Day 19 I saw a Harris’s Antelope Ground Squirrel eating it & on Day 20 the tuna had fallen off the cactus, onto the ground.

We’re starting to see more Queen Butterfly eggs & larvae on our Milkweeds (1st time since May; here they are in my Perpetual Journal). I love watching butterflies’ life cycle from egg>caterpillar>chrysalis>butterfly!😍

☠️ Buena parte de la industria alimentaria nos envenena y aquí no pasa nada. No consumas alimentos envasados en plástico, sobre todo si contienen ácidos o grasas (como el aceite, por ejemplo). (Y luego nos dirán aquello de "Todos contra el cáncer"... "Todos" está muy claro que no.) 🤬
