This is a Blue Dasher, I think I read somewhere, the most common dragonfly in North America. They love slow moving water and so, no surprise they were in abundance on the bayous of Louisiana.

An astonishing moment, I was standing still under a tree, and then had an egret walk right up beside me, stare at me for a bit and then walk on past.

The branches are a lot barer after our wind and rain. This is one of our deciduous oak trees, with evergreen oaks behind to both the left and right.

 

Today is day 145 of Project 365 (Tuesday).

The fog rolls in from the ocean (about 10 miles west) about to cover Nicasio Reservoir. There are two horses grazing on the hillside to the left.

Zermatt, it's a pleasant town, but seriously they need to sort out all the traffic!!! This was base camp to getting up closer to the Matterhorn. I warned you all that I would be posting more gratuitous Matterhorn images!!! This is from a couple of weeks ago in Switzerland.

 

The whole traffic thing is a joke of course. Zermatt is actually combustion engine free, only electric and "grass-powered" vehicles up here. Which means you can't actually drive here, you need to take the spectacular cogwheel train to get to the village. Steep sections of the railway have cogs to stop the train from slipping backward or going down too quickly.

 

The horseman's outfit matches the Valais flag, which is the canton that Zermatt is in.

A Western Bluebird dropped by yesterday afternoon. Although they're around, I think this is the first time, I've ever had one at my house.

The silvereye – also known as the wax-eye, or sometimes white eye – is a small and friendly olive green forest bird with white rings around its eyes.

Leaving Tokyo again today. This was from the Hamarikyu Gardens, near my hotel. Like most parks in Tokyo, it's repurposed from a Shogun stronghold.

A big harvest this year, this group of woodpeckers have been harvesting for over 6 weeks, and have created two new granaries to store their acorns, this one on the roofs of several houses, and another on a palm tree. Normally they just use an old oak tree. It's so crazy now that they have to hop from tile to tile trying to find room for just one more acorn.

 

Loved this redhead's shadow too, with its big acorn revealed, and how clearly you can see how they use their tails to steady themselves.

 

Fascinating, innovative, super social creatures.

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has provided astronomers with the sharpest view yet of the breakup of Comet C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS). The telescope resolved roughly 30 fragments of the comet on 20 April and 25 pieces on 23 April.

 

The comet was first discovered in December 2019 by the ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) and its fragmentation was confirmed in April 2020.

A corner of my greenhouse. I cleared out all the old tomato plants and washed the green algae off the inside of the glass yesterday.

 

Happy Webnesday!

It turns out that 2016 had one last treasure to offer up, my son James and I spotted a whale just off the coast yesterday. It was a little far away, but a fluke's a fluke! I think it was a humpback, but I'm no expert.

 

This is a closer image I got earlier in 2016 - Link.

An aluminum pirate statue in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. Seriously bad ass, no?

 

So, existential question. How do Pirates know they exist?

 

A: They think, therefore they Arrrrr!

Today in San Francisco. I guess it's a throwback Tuesday of sorts, well maybe not in San Francisco.
