I went to a wonderful Christmas Fair this afternoon, and bought some black cheddar! The inside is black as well as the waxy surface. Apparently the cheddar is infused with charcoal. I'm buying it as a present, so regrettably can't cut it to show you.... Ah ha! All is not lost! I have found a pic from the cheese maker's website.....

  

Later Add. I went to see the friend I gave this too,and she gave me a slice of the cheese. It had a slightly unusual taste - a slight edge to it - but mostly it tasted like regular cheddar cheese.....

Black-footed Albatross (Phoebastria nigripes) is one of few albatrosses with all dark plumage, although it is named only for the colour of its feet. All plumages are dark, but adults acquire white around the bill base and they breed, every two years, once they are seven years old. They are also unusual in being one of just three (Pacific) Northern Hemisphere breeding albatrosses with 97% of the global population breeding in Hawaii. The Atlantic doesn't have any Northern Hemisphere breeding albatrosses though occasional "lost" individuals stray here, like the famous Bempton Black-browed Albatross. Like many albatross species Black-footed has suffered heavy losses and it is classified by IUCN as near-threatened. Its scientific name Phoebastria is named after an Ancient Greek prophetess or soothsayer, while nigripes means black-footed. About 400 pairs breed on Guadalupe Island in Mexico and I photographed this adult about 200km from there, off the coast of Baja. But they weren't common. The wingspan is typically 6 to 7 feet (190-220cm) and you can see its wingtip almost skimming the surface.

Scientific name: Himantopus himantopus

are still munching on parsley in an enclosure that I have outside... I think there are 9-10 cats on the plant... they are great at hiding!!

These will be added to my 43 that are already in chrysalis and are kept outdoors...

these chrysalis will all winter over and will eclose whenever they are ready in the spring... some swallowtail chrysalis, so I've heard, can stay dormant for over a year!!! Not at all like Monarchs that have a schedule to keep... swallowtails do what they want, when they want!!!

 

This is my first year raising them and I had a great season... releasing over 200 of these beautiful butterflies!!

  

This is an adult Great Black Hawk (Buteogallus urubitinga) a few seconds before it snatched a fish from the water. Its bizarre scientific name urubitinga is a native Brazilian (Tupi) word for this bird. It is found in wooded and watery habitats throughout Central and South America. I photographed this individual in Brazil's Pantanal region.

Another shot of this wee beauty from earlier in the year..

Becka and I ventured out for an early morning session at Black's Beach, the notorious nudie beach in San Diego.

 

The Adobe Creative Jam in San Diego I participated in last Thursday had me feeling a little nostalgic for the "just go shoot" days. I let the inspiration come to me this day, without trying to force myself to shoot anything specific. It's a very refreshing state of mind.

 

There's a reason people venture down the cliffs to get here and trust me, it's definitely not just for FTN. (Though we did get approached by the self-proclaimed naked "ambassador" of the beach who tried to give me some lighting tips...)

 

I post my favorites to Flickr, but I'm also posting daily on Instagram and Facebook if you want to follow along:

"...This twisted cat and mouse game always starts the same

First we're both down to play then somehow you go astray

We went from nothing to something, liking to loving

It was us against the world and now we just fucking

It's like I loved you so much and now I just hate you

Feeling stupid for all the time that I gave you

I wanted all or nothing for us ain't no place in between

Might, might be me believing what you say that you never mean

Like it'll last forever but now forever ain't as long

If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be stuck singing this song

You were different from my last but now you got it mirrored

And as it all plays out I see it couldn't be clearer

Now sing

 

You used to be thirsty for me

But now you wanna be set free

This is the web, web that you weave

So baby now rest in peace...

 

I'm gonna love ya

Until you hate me

And I'm gonna show ya

What's really crazy

You should've known better

Than to mess with me, honey

I'm gonna love ya, I'm gonna love ya

Gonna love ya, gonna love ya

Like a black widow, baby"

The most characteristic feature of the Black Swallowtail is the big black pupils inside the orange eye-spots on the center of the hind wing. On the dorsal view the eye-spots appear to have two eyebrows!

 

If you get confused trying to tell the black butterflies apart, I have a set of photos of black butterflies from my area. It is called Black Butterflies of the Carolinas and a link is in the album section below.

" Black earth red earth,

you come from the sea,

from the arid green,

where there are ancient

words and bloody toil

and geranium among rocks—

you don't know how much you bring

of toil and words from the sea,

you're rich like a memory,

like the barren countryside,

you hard and sweetest word,

ancient because of the blood

gathered in the eyes;

young, like a fruit

that is a memory and a season—

your breath rests

under the sky of August,

the olives of your look

sweeten the sea,

and you live and live again

without amazement, certain

like the earth, dark

like the earth, a grinder

of seasons and dreams

that reveals itself under the moon

to be so old, just like

the hands of your mother,

the bowl of the brazier. "

 

- Cesare Pavese

We have a new friend who comes to the window and looks at us with such a sweet expression ! Of course he knows that we have peanuts for him !
