springtime swollen buds on rooted elm cutting, scales peeling back around tight pleated leaves
a red-lit bridge scene in Stark Trek Voyager - Across the Unknown. All of the characters appear to be wearing shiny latex uniforms because my nice CAD graphics card is not a video game optimized graphics card, I guess. Their skin is also very shiny, but their hair is not.
A tight crop on a pair of hands holding a big worm in shades of purple and green. The hands are sketchily painted but the worm is rendered in loving detail.
Poster with fun fonts, 100% saturation multicolored highlights, and somewhat chaotic image placement. Text reads as follows: [all caps, magenta, Boucherie Block font, bold] NEW YORKERS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO AGE AND DISABLE IN PLACE!

Screenshot of text from a People article: The woman met Ross once at a neighborhood garage party during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, where she says he described his job to guests. "He said he worked with plants, as a botanist, so he lied about what he did," she claims. The neighbor says that Ross kept to himself in the neighborhood, and they never learned he was a federal agent until he was identified in the aftermath of Good's death.

“Why aren't there more restrooms in our city? Well, there is a lot of infrastructure underneath our feet,” he said. “ This pilot, however, will allow us to install public bathrooms even where we cannot drill into the bowels of this city.”
Screenshot of the gif landing on penguins with the word ‘King’ overlaid in big letters. ‘Penguin’ is there too, but it’s white on the white background of their bellies and mostly invisible. This augury is inauspicious given the actions taken this morning by the subject of the No Kings protests.

We are looking up at a small pink orchid propped up on twigs with blurry pine barrens landscape in the background. The orchid’s labellum is fringed, as one might expect from the genus Pogonia, which comes from the Greek word for ‘beard’.
Text from the linked article reading: "City officials noted the bulk of the money was to be spent on relocating and upgrading underground infrastructure, like sewer lines, water mains and other utilities. Officials said that work is long overdue, and that the costly relocation of the utilities was necessary in order to plant new trees on the street."
An in-progress aquarelle pencil drawing of my a small section of my neighbor’s garden showing black cherry (prunus serotina) leaves in a bright green color with a horizontal line hatch pattern infected by taphrina farlowii (I’m pretty sure but I’m not a plant pathologist), which is drawn in bright orange. The background is Japanese euonymus (euonymus japonicus) drawn in dark green with a vertical hatch pattern. It has powdery mildew, but this is not shown in the drawing.
