A few days ago, Lani Elliot posted a beautiful image of Convolvulus, commonly known as Morning Glory. In appreciation of her lovely work, I decided to share this image of a jeweled dwarf convolvulus photographed after a night of heavy fog. You can see her image by clicking the link below.
Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

From Wikipedia: The common dwarf mongoose (Helogale parvula) is a mongoose species native to Angola, northern Namibia, KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, Zambia and East Africa. It is part of the genus Helogale, along with the Ethiopian dwarf mongoose.
Characteristics:
The common dwarf mongoose has soft fur ranging from yellowish red to very dark brown. It has a large pointed head, small ears, a long tail, short limbs and long claws. With a body length of 18–28 cm (7.1–11.0 in) and a weight of 210–350 g (7.4–12.3 oz), it is Africa's smallest member of the order Carnivora
Distribution and habitat:
The common dwarf mongoose ranges from East to southern Central Africa, from Eritrea and Ethiopia to the provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga in the Republic of South Africa. It inhabits primarily dry grassland, open forests and bushland up to an elevation of 2,000 m (6,600 ft). It is especially common in areas with many termite mounds, its favorite sleeping place. It avoids dense forests and deserts.
The common dwarf mongoose is important in the ecosystem as a seed disperser and a predator of pests.
Diet:
The diet of the common dwarf mongoose consists of insects (mainly beetle larvae, termites, grasshoppers and crickets), spiders, scorpions, small lizards, snakes, small birds, and rodents, and is supplemented very occasionally with berries.

This is the Tiniest little spider! I didn't even know it was upside down until I downloaded and processed. What drew my attention were all the tiniest little water droplets in it's web. To give an idea as to it's size, that is the tip of a blade of grass that it's hovering over. Anita and I have a different sort of adventure planned for today. We are going to attempt to deliver a goat safely to a sanctuary about a two hour drive north of me. I've had a special cage built to fit in the back of my little "bubble truck" and the weather is fine today so here we go! LOL Will try to catch up with everyone tonight. :)

Have a nice Sunday!
Most of the winter snow had melted, but for a few isolated patches. Around one we found an oasis of Pasque flowers, Crocuses, Trumpet Gentian and Snowbells
Got out this afternoon to practice a bit with my new Lensbaby Sweet 50. I was using macro filters of +7 to get in nice a tight. These little Harmony Dwarf Iris are only a few inches tall so I had to get into a prone position to get this angle. Getting the proper area in the right amount of focus is pretty tough starting out so I'll need much more practice. Out of about 30 shots or more, this is the only one that comes close to working and I'm still not completely satisfied with it. But it was really fun finally having some flowers to get some much needed practice.
If you use this lens, any constructive comments would be welcome.
Thanks for viewing my photos.

Wide angle HDR with the distant early morning moon in the background sky. A very odd shaped sea stack rock. It is properly known as Wizard's Hat.
A stack or sea stack is a geological landform consisting of a steep and often vertical column or columns of rock in the sea near a coast, formed by wave erosion. Stacks are formed over time by wind and water, processes of coastal geomorphology. They are formed when part of a headland is eroded by hydraulic action, which is the force of the sea or water crashing against the rock. The force of the water weakens cracks in the headland, causing them to later collapse, forming free-standing stacks and even a small island. Without the constant presence of water, stacks also form when a natural arch collapses under gravity, due to sub-aerial processes like wind erosion. Erosion causes the arch to collapse, leaving the pillar of hard rock standing away from the coast—the stack. Eventually, erosion will cause the stack to collapse, leaving a stump. Stacks can provide important nesting locations for seabirds, and many are popular for rock climbing.
I love waking up at 2 AM, hiking to 12,000 ft. and witnessing the incredible glory that is the Milky Way. Bonus if two of your favorite peaks jagged 13,800+ peaks, Vestal and Arrow, are absolutely dwarfed by the night sky.

Dwarf mongoose is the smallest of the mongoose family Herpestidae and is highly social living in cohesive groups of three to 30 individuals that collectively engage in cooperative breeding, territory defense, sentry duties to look out for predators, babysitting and grooming.
Within each group there is rigid hierarchy with a single breeding pair which is dominant and which suppresses reproduction of all other group members.
Dwarf mongooses are active during the day in relatively open habitats were they mainly feed on insects but are also known to prey on snakes, lizards and small mammals.
