I'm always surprised at how tiny, boring (to me) white flowers can whip the pollinators into a frenzy. My deciduous holly is blooming and it is seething with all sorts of little bees, strange flies, exotic wasps, and the occasional small butterfly.
This honey-bee-sized fly looked like it was mimicking a colorful bumble bee. I've never seen a fly with an orange band like this before. Unfortunately it was shy and very fast-moving.

At least a half dozen four leaf clovers and one five-leaf clover. Never seen that before. Super lucky?

The photo was taken by Lisa Hatfield. Lizard survived the encounter with the young cat and was released nearby. Though it may have been injured during the encounter, and during subsequent removal.

First 5 photos of this Leucistic Hummingbird are from June 28, 2017, first sighting in Palm Desert, CA. The last 4 photos are from August 16, 2017. This gorgeous creature is so friendly with a huge personality. It comes when called and eats one gnat after another with so much to say! I feel he/she likes the yard because the concrete walls and house are painted bright white making this hummer feel protected. Keep in mind there are no feeders on the property. 1. Can you please help me identify the type of Leucistic this is. 2. Male or female? 3. Does this Hummingbird look healthy? I've noticed possible missing feathers on its wings. I'm not sure if it has worsened over time.Thank you :) all photos are mine and taken by me, Nicole Campanaro

Pretty sure this is my resident Anna's male but it was hard to confirm with the contrast from the sunrise

Pale green leprose crust on Prunus. Fluorescent orange. This also matched the description of Pyrrhospora quernea and Micarea xanthonica
This specimen did have apothecia hidden under a soridiate mass of dust.
Eugene is an hour from the coast, so the spot would not be considered coastal
Based on the info I have I am calling it Varicellaria rhodocarpa, but is much more leprose than the images I have seen of that species.
