Apparently, this is the only suitable spot in some distance for a good dust bath. Goats came one by one and took their turn.
Gus has a plan. Probably. It may involve rabbits. (No luck there). It may involve the UK’s antipode. That’s some way off the coast of New Zealand, but only if he follows a straight line. Or with some clever navigation he could be in Eastern Australia by Easter. If so I’ll message ahead so Bruce or Victoria can get lunch on.
Meanwhile you’ll note Freddie adopts his customary “supervisory role”. That's the management classes for you...
This oystercatcher was doing a pretty good job at finding which shell contained some food and which ones were empty.... How can they know and be so effective in their search? I am not sure, but here is what the Cornell lab of Ornithology says of their eating habits. I did not know that the search for food could be that dangerous to them.
www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/American_Oystercatcher/lifehi...
American Oystercatchers use their long, bladelike, orange bills to catch shellfish unawares, seizing them before they can close up. They walk across shellfish beds and when they encounter one that is partially open, they jab their bill into the shell and sever the strong muscle that clamps the shells shut. The technique is not without its risks though—oystercatchers do sometimes drown after a tightly rooted mussel clamps down on their bills and holds the bird in place until the tide comes in. The birds also feed by carrying loose shellfish out of the water and hammering at the shell, or by probing for buried soft-shell or razor clams the way some other shorebirds do.
still digging into the past (aka. hard drive) a bit looking at some shots I might have missed. This one is from around Lake Minnewanka on a cold morning. Banff, Alberta, Canada

Digging in a folder of older images not posted before, I found this long exposure of the More London area and the Shard, taken from the edge of Tower Bridge with my first DSLR, the Canon 550D.
I like the blues here and the glowing silver reflections in the Thames ...
Still life with dandelions, string and terracotta pots. That's about the extent of my gardening skills.
i decided to add queen anne's lace to my wildflower garden. so i took a bucket and shovel to the nearest railroad. (isn't it interesting how this flower grows around all train tracks?). as i put shovel to ground, an older man walked toward me.
him: what are you doing?
me: digging up queen anne's lace for my garden.
him: you can't do that!
me: oh, is there an ordinance against this?
him: no, but that thing is a weed. you don't want it. it'll grow up all over your yard.
me: well, i think it's pretty.
him: fine, do whatever you want.
i think human perceptions are interesting. what's a flower versus a weed? what is beauty? what is kindness? we hold many different views. each day i see or learn something new.
I'm not sure if this fox squirrel is looking for some goodies—or maybe planting something for the future! Last summer when I went to replant annual flowers in my deck pots, I found a little cache of peanuts down in the soil!

Messing around with a new technique, doing combined natural light and flash focus stack of unknown parasitoid wasp. Was observed taking massive beetles much larger than itself from a tree in a controlled fall and dragging them into a burrow in muddy soil next to mangroves.
1940's poster, seen at Hughenden Mansion, a National Trust property in Buckinghamshire. Propaganda has always been part of the war effort. However, here at Hughenden, a lot more than propaganda was created. In fact, this place was the most secret centre of aerial photography and cartography which in turn allowed British and American bombers to target (mostly) German cities. The Germans were aware of this facility and, in vain, tried to attack it from the air.
My sister's Jack-O-Lantern Goodie Bowl was a fairly big, so the squirrels had to dig deep in order to reach those sumptuous goodies stashed inside.
Most squirrels just hung precariously on the edge, like this one, perhaps not quite willing to "commit" and jump right in just yet.
Needless to say, our Backyard Harvest Fest, for our furry and feathered friends did not disappoint.
