What's blooming now at Southwick Beach State Park.
The Daily Bucket is a place where we post and exchange our observations about what is happening in the natural world in our neighborhoods. Birds, blooms, bugs & more - each note is a record that we can refer to in the future as we try to understand the patterns that are quietly unwinding around us.

Here's some photos I took this morning on my walk down the beach to the park.
Common Milkweed - it may be common but I love it.
Swamp milkweed - these grow way down in our bit of swamp behind the dunes but this one found a spot right next to a park-mowed field along the road in.
Unknown plant, some kind of aster. The spiky seedpod caught my eye,
Other beach diaries:
Cool Clouds
Sunsets
Wetlands behind the dunes
Sandy Beaches, Blue Skies
A quick bucket for the day - I never tire of wildflowers. The more I see and learn about them, the more I enjoy them.
And The Daily Bucket is now open for your thoughts and observations

"Green Diary Rescue" is Back!
After a hiatus of over 1 1/2 years, Meteor Blades has revived his excellent series. As MB explained, this weekly diary is a "round-up with excerpts and links... of the hard work so many Kossacks put into bringing matters of environmental concern to the community... I'll be starting out with some commentary of my own on an issue related to the environment, a word I take in its broadest meaning."
"Green Diary Rescue" will be posted every Saturday at 1:00 pm Pacific Time on the Daily Kos front page.
