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.

Many thanks for your faves, comments and support. It means a lot to me. Big Hugs to ALL of you! 💖

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.

Love this production at Tulsa Living Arts, slides shown upon structure, that makes an impact. Valery Lyman's story. I manipulated the atmosphere light but the projection on the structure is real.

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.

Common Ground Dove ~ Columbina passerina

The River Ver in Hertfordshire is a chalk stream and has cut, modestly I should say, into the surrounding limestone - just enough to create a path through the Chiltern Hills, and enough for the Romans to build a road here connecting London with the North. The history of the village of Markyate is entirely shaped by this road (and its successors) and all the functions relating to the transport of goods and people. Some houses such as these ones in the foreground have crept up the flanks of the river ("Pickford Hill" in this case), but most stayed down in the valley ground. Up on the hills you would find farms and agriculture. It is also true that small industries have moved in - together with lots of interesting people who decided to leave the big city.

This dock isn't losing ground... it is losing the water it floats on! Cascade Lake is actually a reservoir and during the late summer, the impact on the water table is noticable as water is siphoned off the 40-mile long lake for irrigation. The dock will soon be high and dry on ground... the only water remaining at the northern end will be a small stream inear the oposite shore. When the rains and snow melt in teh springtime, the lake will fill again.

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...

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.

My yard is half covered in these flowers, they don't need mowed which is just fine.

Cardinals are ground feeders and you will often see them on the ground, scrounging for food. In this case, under the feeders and on my deck, works for him. Sometimes he picks off bird seed and drops it on the ground and then eats it. I have also seen him feed his mate. So sweet.

Peaking out of it's burrow to see if it's safe to come out after my 2 grandsons kept pushing the personal distancing boundaries.

Easy getting down for this Ground Level shot,however getting back up took some time.Funny stuff.

A large raptor around 55-70 cms tall and weighing around 1.5 - 2.4 kg and found throughout the year in India. They are probably the smallest of the 9 species of vultures found in India. The birds are very distinctive and easily recognizable unlike some of the other vultures which are confusing to id.

 

This one is an adult with the full white plumage and yellowish face and beak. Immatures tend to be totally brown with a greyish face. The birds are often seen around carcass dumpyards or in the deserts where dead cattle / animals are lying rotten. In our Rajasthan trip last week, we sighted 100+ of them all around the state - they are quite common there. In fact, Rajasthan has 7 of the 9 vultures found in India. Like most vultures, this is quite shy of people, but many a time, we found very close to the nomad settlements perched on the poles or walking around on the ground.

 

Thanks in advance for your lovely feedback and views - much appreciated.

My ground hog out back didn’t see his shadow this am. Early spring! Yea right!

 

Yes, a groundhog is a type of squirrel. Groundhogs are the largest members of the squirrel family, Sciuridae. They are also known as woodchucks or whistlepigs.
