Above image only shows a portion of all the Brown Pelicans at Malibu Lagoon. It seems they may be struggling to find sufficient food. Saw four dead pelicans - probably many more.
Feb. 7, 2024: Early morning sun and mist at Conejo Community Park in Thousand Oaks, California, as storms take a break - but more rain is predicted for tonight.

Got to see these amazing sunflowers in the Glenwood Community garden, which was right behond our hotel. Apparently, in the spring, the people in the town line up to stake out a plot in the garden. The plants, vegetables, and flowers were all in full bloom when we visited about two weeks ago. The backdrop to this garden is second to none.
Found these adorable little things in a neighborhood drive-by the other day -- one of the few things I can do for fun these days!
Yup, still lovin' the way my neighbourhood is so fabulously decorated for Hallowe'en. A real atmosphere of fun, excitement, neighbourliness, sharing and...yup, if you'll excuse the purposeful pun, everyone's community "spirit" :-) Muaahhahaaaaahaaaaa.
Happy Hallowe'eeeeeeen!

Built in 1947. Alamo Avenue in Kalamazoo, Kalamazoo County, Michigan.
Taken on March 11, 2014, when a late winter snowstorm dropped an unusually heavy six inches on Kalamazoo. It was beautiful.
Menai Bridge is a town and community on the Isle of Anglesey in north-west Wales. It overlooks the Menai Strait and lies by the Menai Suspension Bridge, built in 1826 by Thomas Telford, just over the water from Bangor.
Thermophilic communities are as diverse as the communities that humans live in. Community formations, colors, and locations vary depending on the types of microbes, the pH, and the temperature of their environments.
Millions of individual microbes can connect into long strands called filaments. Some bacteria and algae form thin and delicate structures in fast moving water such as the runoff channels of hot springs and geysers. Other microbes form thick, sturdy structures in slower water or where chemical precipitates quickly coat their filaments.
A bacterium called Thermocrinis forms structures and grows by eating hydrogen gas or sulfur compounds. Its filaments entwine, forming mats. Flowing water carries other microbes, organic matter, and minerals that become caught in the streamers and add to the mat.
Photosynthetic activity of Cyanobacteria such as Lyptolyngbya form columns or pedestals. Oxygen bubbles rise in the mat, forcing the microbes upward. The higher formations capture more organic matter and sediment than the lower mats, which help build the columns. Called stromatolites or microbialites, these structures are similar to ancient microbial communities preserved in formations (dated to >3.0 billion years old) around the world.
Mats can be as thin as tissue paper or as thick as lasagna. Multiple layers of microorganisms make up inch-thick mats. Dozens of types of microbes from all three domains can exist in these layers. Each layer is a community, and each layer interacts with the other layers, forming a complex, larger ecosystem full of millions of microorganisms and their life processes.
A stack of large rocks piled into a cone shape by visitors to the Lopez Ridge Park adjacent to Lopez Ridge in Sorrento Mesa, San Diego, California. It grows monthly as more people add a stone for prayer, for inclusion, for meditation, for luck, or just for the sake of contributing. Bring a stone if you find yourself in these parts.

For the Flickr 21 Challenge day 20 the theme is community. I give you a community of Sandhill Cranes. I thought about this theme for days and didn't know what I was going to do, it's the most difficult theme for me yet. I did some research and found that yes indeed groups of birds are a community.
One day while out driving I came upon a field full of these wonderful birds. I love to try to spot them in the sky when I hear their calls.
