Sacred Datura (Datura wrightii - nightshade family). Lots of these around right now. They're pollinated by hawk moths.

As the month is coming to an end, I have prepared my End Notes, as usual.

The August 2023 edition contains some weather observations, notes from the trail and the backyard, links to things I enjoyed reading/watching/seeing... and it is garnished with some photos old and new, of course.

Four more photos from the post-Hilary back country drive last Monday — with rolling hills and desert views and pines in fog... this time, in color. :)

@nytimes Thompson said the Santa Monica Mountains are likely to be a hotspot for damage, but places expected to experience flash flooding overnight also include downtown Los Angeles, Burbank, Malibu, Northridge and more. “It could be potentially some very, very serious rainfall, and some serious flooding in that area,” he said. nytimes.com/live/2023/08/20/us

“Now we’ve noticed a little feature off the coastal waters that looks like it’s going to keep enhancing precipitation into that area into the early morning,” Thompson said. “It’s going to continue to exacerbate any flooding.” nytimes.com/live/2023/08/20/us @nytimes by Soumya Karlamangla Reporting from San Francisco

Protip from an East Coast babe to folks in right now:

The majority of hurricane fatalities occur **after the storm** has passed. Floodwater is super-dangerous and even a couple of inches can knock you off your feet or drag your car into a current. Unless you have to (eg, for a medical emergency or other disaster) please stay at home!
