The Green-headed Tanager is one of the most common and widely distributed species of Tangara in the forests of southeastern Brazil; its distribution also extends into southeastern Paraguay and northeastern Argentina. Green-headed Tanagers forage in the canopy of humid forest and forest edge, and also enter adjacent second-growth, where they may forage closer to the ground. They usually travel in small flocks, either on their own or in association with a larger mixed-species flock. The diet consists both of fruit and arthropods; when foraging for arthropods, they hop along slender to medium-sized branches, and glean prey from branch surfaces and from leaves. The sister species to the Green-headed Tanager is the Seven-colored Tanager (Tangara fastuosa), a similar tanager found in northeastern Brazil. Although the behavior and plumage pattern of the Green-headed and Seven-colored tanagers are similar to those of the Paradise Tanager (Tangara chilensis) of Amazonia, these two species are not closely related to the Paradise Tanager. Instead, the Green-headed and Seven-colored tanagers are part of small radiation of tanagers that are not similar to one another in appearance, but all are endemic to the Atlantic Forest region; the other members of this group are the Red-necked Tanager (Tangara seledon), the Brassy-breasted Tanager (Tangara desmaresti), and the Gilt-edged Tanager (Tangara cyanoventris).

What lies beyond the green veil! Tune in to find out... I did poke the lens through this wonderful green curtain and take a shot of the tree lurking in the misty background, maybe tomorrow... I also got very wet from the mist dripping off the leaves :)

The creeping thistles (Cirsium arvense) are flowering everywhere right now. They are very popular among bees and butterflies but I had never seen a cricket on it before. This great green bush cricket didn't stay put for long as the bee was too annoying.
I got lucky today as one of our local orchid experts took the time to show me a hidden meadow full of flowering green-winged orchids. They have an amazing variety of color, ranging from white, through pink, to deep purple. I'll have to return there in a few weeks when other species of orchids will come into bloom.
Satsuki (Rhododendron indicum) in the left is an evergreen flowering plant. Doudan Tsutsuji (Enkianthus perulatus) in the right is a deciduous flowering plant. Both belong to the Ericaceae family, are native to Japan, and popular ornamental plants for Japanese gardens.
Yasuda Garden is next door to the Sumou tournament hall. Both are located in Yokoami (横網) community of Sumida Ward (墨田区).
Each Sumou wrestler is given a rank title based on the past tournament record, and the highest rank title is called Yokozuna (横綱). Then, please try to spot the difference between ”横網" and "横綱". Even the Japanese would overlook the difference.
It is rumoured that the Japan Sumou Association seriously negotiated with Sumida Ward to modify "slightly" the community name to 横”綱” when the new hall opened in Yokoami in 1985, although it was not successful in the end. Official name of the current Sumou hall is Ryougoku Sumou Hall (両国国技館) after the name of a railway station nearby. The Sumou Association probably wanted to name it Yokozuna Sumou Hall.
