EXPLORED.

 

Coots are medium-sized water birds which are members of the rail family Rallidae. They constitute the genus Fulica. Coots have predominantly black plumage, and, unlike many of the rails, they are usually easy to see, often swimming in open water. They are close relatives of the moorhen. The greatest species variety is in South America, and it is likely that the genus originated there. They are common in Europe and North America(wikipedia).

 

Happy Fence Friday!

Tons of high-pitched voices came one day from th pine tree in front of my house. When I looked, about seven Coal Tit chicks and two parents very desperate to feed their younglings.

These cooties (baby coots) were out with their parent in Alberta, Canada

 

The American coot,also known as a mud hen or pouldeau, is a bird of the family Rallidae. Though commonly mistaken for ducks, American coots are only distantly related to ducks, belonging to a separate order. Unlike the webbed feet of ducks, coots have broad, lobed scales on their lower legs and toes that fold back with each step which facilitates walking on dry land- wiki

This collage of memories is based on the life and beauty of another one of my great aunts, Mattie Malvina Hamilton. She was the sixth of seven daughters, born in Kentucky in 1880. Although I don’t remember her, I do know that she was a favorite sister of my grandmother. I wish I had listened more carefully to her stories of “Aunt Matt”.....

 

CHEF clabudak wants us to experiment with vintage-tinged collage techniques, a genre that some of us may find difficult at first. She says, "I wanted to give others a chance to branch out a bit if they haven't tried it before" (or even if they have!!).

 

➤ Create an image in the style of collage art (a.k.a., cut-out art). See below for some inspiration links.**

➤ The main subject must be a vintage portrait of one man or one woman. See note below.***

➤ The image must include at least one animal (from spider to elephant and all in between).

➤ It must also include text.

➤ NO SUPER BRIGHT, SATURATED COLORS.

A white stork nest in the wildlife park Eekholt. These storks are no more able to fly away because of injuries in the past. They found their home in the wildlife park after being rescued and are visited every summer by their old partners who never forgot them and return every spring. They build their nests on the ground now and raise their chicks. It is always again so touching to watch them.

Merry Christmas from the Sakura Family to yours. ♥

We found these all over the park we favor nearby; possibly eastern tent caterpillars. The day was dreary and lent a bit of moodiness to the forest...and creepiness as if in a graveyard of them.

 

""The CaterpillarIdentification.org database lists 152 caterpillar insects found in the State/Province of Connecticut. The Gypsy moth, first discovered in Stonington in 1905, was present in all 169 Connecticut towns by 1952. Outdoor grown herbaceous perennials and garden mums may also be susceptible to various types of caterpillars.

 

In conclusion, Connecticut offers a diverse array of caterpillar species, including the Monarch Caterpillar, the Gypsy Moth, Cabbage Looper, and other species within the Saturnidae family.""

Maple, (Acer), any of a large genus (about 200 species) of shrubs or trees in the family Sapindaceae, widely distributed in the North Temperate Zone but concentrated in China. Maples constitute one of the most important groups of ornamentals for planting in lawns, along streets, and in parks. They offer a great variety of form, size, and foliage; many display striking autumn colour. Several yield maple syrup, and some provide valuable, dense hard wood for furniture and other uses. All maples bear pairs of winged seeds, called samaras or keys. The leaves are arranged oppositely on twigs. Many maples have lobed leaves, but a few have leaves separated into leaflets.
