California's coastal chaparral is special, Orioles prefer palm trees
Earth will be at it's aphelion
This Jones' Bushmallow thrives in a Wooded Area front yard in Point Loma.
You Can Still Catch Jones' Bushmallow (Malacothamnus jonesii) showing off its pale pink flowers in some local coastal communities. Endemic to California, Jones' Bushmallow is common in coastal chaparral and woodland from Monterey to Santa Barbara, but can be found as far south as Baja California. A slender, erect shrub with velvety grey-green leaves, it can reach 7-8 feet in height and 5-6 feet in width. Blooming from March through July, it is one of the many plants that make California's coastal chaparral so special.
Orioles, The Bright Yellow Or Yellow-Orange-And-Black Birds seen flitting among the palm trees, are summer residents of San Diego County’s coastal areas. A century ago, the orioles preferred to nest in sycamore trees, which were then more common in our area’s river bottoms. Today these birds are most likely to take up residence in the planted or volunteer palm trees, where they obtain fiber to build their nests from the easily shredded fronds.
The crescent Moon is always low in the sky and around dawn or dusk, never in darkness.
A Slender, Waxing Crescent Moon Briefly Embellishes The Western Sky Tonight. By Friday, the moon will be just past its quarter phase, stealing a bit of attention from the Independence Day fireworks displays. This and every July 4 is astronomically notable for the fact that it marks Earth's aphelion — the time when our planet lies farthest from the sun (94.5 million miles.) In January, Earth is an almost insignificant three percent closer to the sun than it is now. On account of this minor irregularity, Northern Hemisphere summers tend to be slightly cooler than they otherwise would be. At the same time, the Southern Hemisphere, which experiences winter during our “summer” months, has winters that tend to be slightly cooler.
