This is one portion of one tree of many at the Rockport Rookery. The Great blue herons are all facing the setting sun except the one that just returned with some nest builind materials. There was lots of mating rituals, gift, and nest material presentation going on in the colony.
Marsh milkweed, a favorite of monarch butterflies, thriving along a seasonal stream in the William Clark Wildflower Garden @ Wayside. The Hardy House, background, built in 1893, is a St. Louis Co. Landmark. It was the residence of the founder of the Hardy Salt Co., who originally worked for the Morton ("When It Rains, It Pours") Salt Co.
Another shot of the basalt cliff in Yakima, Washington. Look at the roots hanging down from the green plants. And all those species of lichen...nature is amazing!
Compositionally Challenged June Most Versatile: Great Outdoors (rocks #2)
Atacama desert, 4600 Meters above sea level, -3 degrees Celsius, early sunday morning, frozen water but this flamingos still looking through the lagoon for their food trying to broke the thin ice layer with their beaks.

Smallscape. I'm kind of into things that catch my eye because of their anonymity at the moment. The world has suddenly shrank, so I guess my perspective should too? That or I'm just pratting about shooting weeds...

Schoolchildren's art on display in the Tateishi Nakamise shopping arcade. Local shops and the shopping street association give prizes for kids' art, and some of the winners were on display when I visited.
To me, this photo shows the strong connection between local shopping streets and the community. They are one and the same, essentially. Gut one, you're going to end up gutting the other. This arcade is over sixty years old, and arguably needs to be rebuilt. Rebuilt--not replaced by something that will primarily serve the interests of entities outside the community, who have no vested interest in it, and see it only as a locus for extracting profit.
We were over West End way today (didn't see ya Christy!) and on the way back, passed this Queenslander style home which accentuates its heritage with bananas, Lady Fingers I imagine growing right in the small front yard in Vulture Street, South Brisbane. We left in rather a hurry as a rather ominous thunderstorm came towards us but it seems to have dissipated. It's still about 35C though and unhappy high humidity too.
In traditional Brisbane, Queensland and even in New South Wales probably north of Sydney when homes sat on large allotments and had big backyards, it was not unusual to have a small plantation of banana trees growing in the backyard. We had them, all Lady Fingers because there were restrictions on growing the more well known Cavendish in those days. I am a Cav man myself, never liked the slightly metallic taste of the Lady Fingers. The backyard would also possibly be home to other fruit trees, many of them now long forgotten, a vegetable garden and perhaps a chook run. We had all of these and what a childhood of discovery it was, even the deadly snakes!
Having discovered a large, densely populated area of Canada Anemone much closer to home, I've made several visits while they are at peak condition. A chaos of blossoms abound.
Meant as a documentary shot to establish density and habitat.
Located on the corner of Farnsworth and Moran, this community garden was started by Molly Motor waaaay before urban farming was the buzzword of the day as the potential "savior" of Detroit. That entire block is a wonder of urban homesteading and the kind of urban farming I'd personally prefer to see city-wide over corporate owned operations.

I don't know the name of this small community but there weren't too many of them. More often we saw the occasional home or 2 or 3 homes together in this vast expanse.
California Sea lions form large groups, called a colony when out of the water. These colonies are quite noisy and it seem animals are always scuffling about.
