OK, this one made me tear up a little.
Someone told me I needed to cross post this to beautiful. So besides being here:
She's here too:

$40 cash app if you can diagnose
The answer is quite simply her years of experience and paying attention to her plants. Thats not something you can really teach. B.S. It's just plant growing. Let's not make more out of this than there is. It isn't magic learned over the years. Nature got it right long before we showed up.

I miss @elkamino. I have some pictures to show him ;D (no not that) ^^^ those.

von Karman vortices in the lee of island peaks.
Horseshoe clouds - these are vortices that "tip over" to form what amounts to an incomplete smoke ring.
This one sort of looks like a

Today's featured denizen of the galactic bestiary: the kilonova.
This is believed to be the signature of a rare but important sort of stellar cataclysm: two neutron stars merging. They merge because their orbital energy is eroded (at an accelerating rate) and radiated as extremely intense gravity waves. In August 2017 two gravity-wave observatories recorded the characteristic "chirp" of two such massive objects spiraling into each other.
This gave astronomers a shot at seeing the very transient optical signature of the event: a short hard gamma-ray burst followed by a day to a week of optical flare. When the stars meet
, a fair amount of neutron-degenerate matter escapes and diffuses to form a neutron gas. Neutrons (that are not gravitationally bound) have a half-life of about 10 minutes, so there is a sharp pulse of light as that energy is released.
When they meet, enough energy is released to power a thousand classical novae (so 10 to the power of 43 joules) at the upper range of their energy production (thermonuclear runaway explosions on the surface of a white dwarf that generate a weeks-long optica lflare). A classical supernova generates 10 to 100 times as much energy.
Kilonovae are the principal source of "r-process" elements. such as gold and platinum. The usual element-forming processes (stellar winds off red supergiants and especially supernovae) don't have a mechanism to form r-process nuclei. So bling came from a very special bang.
gifs aren't behaving for me ...

I snapped another photo a little later as the sun came out more, the bees really packed those flowers, it is so cute seeing them swimming backstroke inside the flowers.
