I will forgive Cee for having her FOTD for my birthday be a weed (dandelion)! For my birthday flower, I chose two different colors of the tulips that make the Skagit Valley famous.

Another in the Elements series. If these photos aren't Fire, I don't know what is. This is Earth's Primordial Fire, the eruption of the Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii in July of 2018. This lava formed in the literal fires at the center of our planet, and the movements of the tectonic …
