Part II Las Trampas Ridge trail: like an old friend that I haven't seen in nearly 10 years but as soon as I step foot on the trail its like we haven't skipped a beat. Bush lupine is lacking from what Ive seen here but still....
At Walkabout Creek near Enoggera Reservoir.
They are beautiful birds with a wide wingspan, mainly nocturnal and characterised by their wailing sound.
Poinsettia bushes (Euphorbia pulcherrima) grow in many yards and wild on hillsides throughout Hawai’i. Winter’s shortened days cause the poinsettia leaves to turn flaming red, indicating that Christmas is coming. The Hawaiian word for the poinsettia plant is Pua Kalikimaka, literally meaning, “Christmas flower.” The plant is also called “Christmas Star,” Zach Wood or noche buena. The latter name reveals that it is indigenous to Mexico and Central America. The plant was first introduced to the United States in 1825 by Joel Robert Poinsett. It is believed to have been brought to Hawai’i not long after. The plant thrives in Hawaii’s climate. This poinsettia bush was growing in a yard alone side the Kalea Road (South Point Road) on the Island of Hawai’i.
Can anyone identify this small tree? It has very hard, black, rough bark. My best guess right now is spice bush.

I was driving towards Missoula's downtown and when I came to the stoplight...here was this bush totally full with sparrows!!! They were all puffed up and chattering like crazy! Right when I was getting ready to take my pic the light turned green...I about cried as that was the best position I could be in for this shot! I drove about a half mile down praying those little birds would stay there, and walked all the way down and about half of them were still there!! I needed to get out in the road to get a good shot as I know they would have flown if I got any closer! LOL...they just warmed my heart! I wondered if they'd push the button so I could walk out in the road and take their picture! lol....Have a blessed Sunday everyone!! :)
Not sure what this berry bearing bush or tree is named but I counted 25 rings or more perhaps. Our next door neighbour was kind enough to cut the remaining stump down to ground level last weekend with his electric chain saw. It's red berries were quite an attraction to area yellow jackets, one which stung Sue while she maneuvered around it last summer so down it came last fall.

A katydid / bush cricket, which i am sure is the adult form of the previous two images posted. . When threatened, it flattens itself on the leaf surface.

No, I could not find a mount adapter for it, I was holding it tight to my camera and taking pictures like it. Crazy? I know
Our professional landscapers, Aphix, were hard at work circling bushes with their weedwhackers yesterday after another Kentucky blizzard. We have a little smiley face here around these bushes - it's cute. We now have them circling trees, also. They were busy yesterday. This really is art. They were very happy they were able to work outside yesterday. Wonderful crew - they obviously have a great sense of humor.
The previous landscaper, Zeppa"s, planted these bushes next door two years ago for the previous condo owners. Not sure why. Perhaps they paid them to do so or perhaps the previous landscaper had spare bushes to dispose of.
Can be pruned to bush size but actually becomes a small tree. All parts poisonous, Lycianthes rantonnetii is on my wish list.

These Elderberry bushes have an iron will to live. You can stick a branch into the ground, and it will grow. This bush is huge. Stu uses the berries, and the birds will get some too.
Bush Cricket. Unsure of exact id. Taken around souillac, Lot department, France. She didn't want to be photographed and was constantly moving away from me just to be awkward...
not at the zoo or enclosure but wild and free to roam like nature intended

One Bush Plaza, also known as the Crown-Zellerbach Building, is a landmark in San Francisco’s Financial District, offering a glimpse into mid-century modernism in the heart of the city. Completed in 1959, the 20-story tower was designed by architect Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), known for their work on iconic urban skylines worldwide. One Bush Plaza was one of the first International Style buildings to break away from the city’s tradition of ornate facades, featuring sleek glass and steel instead. This clean-lined aesthetic sets it apart from the neighboring architectural giants.
The building's unique history includes being the first high-rise built in San Francisco post-World War II, marking a shift in the city's architectural landscape. Its thin, rectangular shape is softened by elegant curtain walls with steel-framed glass windows, offering a balance between modernist design and urban utility. The plaza surrounding the tower is an open public space, which provides a rare break in the otherwise densely packed Financial District, ideal for a midday escape or a quick business meeting.
Given its prime location, One Bush Plaza is also a prominent hub for businesses, with easy access to public transportation and nearby landmarks such as the Transamerica Pyramid and Embarcadero Center. Whether you're an architecture enthusiast or a business professional, One Bush Plaza captures the essence of San Francisco's mid-century ambition and modern appeal.
MARK MY WORDS: This bailout will do NOTHING for the economy. The parasites just want to suck you dry of your last pennies so they can retire to the Riviera before the entire house of shit comes crumbling down.
"Why aren't we having hearings on a plan we've just received? Why aren't we challenging the underlying premise of the need for a bailout with taxpayer's money? Why have we not even considered any alternatives, other than to give $700 billion dollars to Wall Street? Why aren't we passing new laws to stop the speculation which triggered this? Why aren't we putting up new regulatory structures to protect the investors? How did we even value the $700 billion in toxic assets? Why aren't we directly helping home-owners with their debt-burden? Why aren't we helping American families faced with bankruptcy? Why aren't we reducing debts for Main Street instead of Wall Street? Isn't it time for fundamental change in our debt-based monetary system, so we can free ourselves from the manipulation by the Federal Reserve and the Banks? Is this the United States Congress, or the Board of Directors of Goldman Sachs?"
-- Congressman Dennis Kucinich
"Our government has been turned into an engine that accelerates wealth upwards, taking money from the pockets of the people of this country, and putting it into the hands of the few. That's what our tax policy does, that's what the war does, that's what our energy policy does, that's what these financial policies do, that's what our national debt has done, which has doubled in the last 8 years, and now $700 billion dollars of taxpayers money is being put on the hook. As long as we're working in a debt-based monetary system, with us having no control over our own money supply, through the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, with the banks being able to literally make money out of thin air, how can we ever get to the bottom of a national debt that is building beyond our capacity to deal with it? We are losing control of our own financial destiny."
-- Congressman Dennis Kucinich
"The normal legislative process that should accompany review of a monumental proposal to bail out Wall Street has been SHELVED. Yes, shelved. Only a few insiders are doing the dealing. Sounds like Insider Trading to me. These criminals have so much political power they can shut down the normal legislative process of the highest lawmaking body in this land. All the committees that should be scanning every WORD of what is being negotiated are benched, and that means the American people are benched. We are constitutionally sworn to protect and defend this republic against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and my friends, there ARE enemies."
-- Rep. Mary Kaptur, Democratic, Ohio, 9th District, addressing congress
For those who don't know, the Paulsen Plan grants its author, former Goldman Sachs CEO Henry Paulsen, absolute power to dictate whatever economic measures he sees fit to impose, and to do so without any oversight, challenge, or outside input.
Among Paulsen's insane demands is that any measures he imposes must enjoy permanent exemption from any judicial or congressional oversight and cannot ever be subject to legal challenge or overturned by any future body.
He is basically proposing that US taxpayers should be forced to buy all currently outstanding bad loans held by every bank in the Western World.
Witnessing the Shock Doctrine in effect
"The only way they can pass this bill is by creating and sustaining a panic atmosphere. That atmosphere is not justified. Many of us [in Congress] were told in private conversations that if we voted against this bill on monday, that the sky would fall, the market would drop 2 or 3 thousand points the first day, another couple thousand points the next day, and a few members were even told that there would be martial law in America if we voted no."
-- Congressman Brad Sherman, Democratic-California, addressing congress
