THE COMMON GROUND is the topic for Wed June 28 2017, group our daily challenge
Ground fog is a common summer fog that forms at ground level. The fog hangs low, very low, close to the ground. Over meadows, ditches and sometimes also onto the road. Cow's foot mist. The ground fog is often dissolved very quickly by the power of the summer sun that rises in the morning. It is and remains dangerous to drive, but especially during sunrise and sunset, it is so spectacular to see. There are different names for it: cow's feet fog, ditch and canal fog, radiation fog and fog banks.
The Oudeland van Strijen nature reserve, 500 hectares in size, is a popular area for many winter visitors such as the pygmy goose and meadow birds such as the godwit and lapwing. The land consolidation and desiccation due to drainage had a negative effect on surrounding plots and on the Oudeland van Strijen. At the moment, the low water level in the ditches in winter and spring in particular imposes restrictions on the successful raising of meadow birds.
Hot pools and steaming ground are found near the erupting spring in the Gunnuhver Group at the Gunnuhver Thermal Area on the Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland. The development of a Geothermal power plant in 2006 effected the hydrothermal features. Steaming of the ground at Reykjanes increased markedly as a consequence of pressure drawdown in the geothermal reservoir after exploitation. Some boreholes drilled during development became steam vents or mud pools.

Columbina talpacoti rufipennis
(Ruddy Ground Dove / Tortolita)
The Ruddy Ground Dove (Columbina talpacoti rufipennis) is a small New World tropical dove. It is found from S.E. Mexico to Colombia and Venezuela. Adult males have a pale grey head and neck, and rich rufous upperparts, black-spotted on the wing coverts. The female is grey-brown rather than rufous, and has less contrast between head and body than the male.

These squirrels are certainly on the large side measuring up to 16 inches in length. This one photographed near the summit of Logan Pass in Montana was found in their typical mountain habitat.
At the time I took this photograph I didn't posses a zoom lens. As such even with a small crop it can be seen how tame the squirrel was.
In this photo, a young Arctic Ground Squirrel explores the grasses outside its den. I love the deep purple tundra grasses that surround the squirrel. I find it ironic that the year before, this same den was occupied by Red Fox, which hunt and kill Arctic Ground Squirrels.
It sure wasn't easy to catch this guy at ground level... during take-off! 😁
Have an exciting day, everyone...
Now
Let's look for birds!
The tall iron branches
in the forest,
The dense
fertility on the ground.
The world
is wet.
A dewdrop or raindrop
shines,
a diminutive star
among the leaves.
The morning time
mother earth
is cool.
The air
is like a river
which shakes
the silence.
It smells of rosemary,
of space
and roots.
Overhead,
a crazy song.
It's a bird
-Pablo Neruda
While sunbathing in a 'hoyo' , one of the horseshoe shaped stone windbreaks that are on many beaches in Fuerteventura, we were visited by a family of Barbary ground squirrels .

What's left of an old farm south of Winslow,IL.In looking at old historical views of this property,the old barn was gone by 1996,the large farmhouse was tore down in 2010.The concrete foundation that's left of the barn still houses old milk cans...
People are drawn to both light and water. The combination relieves stress, clears the mind and soul and brings a complete sense of peace.
To me, including the lone silhouetted tree just seemed to seal the deal and ground this scene as well.

Now what! This newly fledged Barred Owlet didn't quite make his target to another branch and flapped all the way down to the ground for a soft landing close by. Looking a little confused and also looking pleased with his move! .... He did figure things out and after hopping around to a couple low stumps ect... he made it up into the trees. As did his other 3 siblings when they fledged.
These do not grow on a vine. They are individual plants each with a half dozen or so blooms. They dot the floor the woods like wildflowers in a field. thanks for the look and have a great evening.
