I've been checking on the Hummingbird chicks every day. I can't believe the difference just two days makes! Just prior to a storm rolling in.....

These baby gannets at Cape Kidnapper grow up really fast. I saw some of them almost as big as their moms. They were demanding too!
Sorry about the quality, I didn't have the tripod! He's not so fluffy now and is growing really fast :)
Diaplan 100 1:2.8. Nicht gerade ein Schärfe- und Kontrast-Wunder, aber trotzdem mit einem eigenen Charakter ;-)
I first thought this cactus must be struggling, but after checking it out a bit, it appears to be healthy. It must have a good root system, as it grows propped up by the tree.
I always love it when I find an old fence or gate to photograph. It's even better when I find flowers growing in and around it.

With every breath I take
With every step I take
with every mistake I make
Still growing................
LARGER is BETTER
The plant shown is a wild-growing specimen of the ubiquitous European Red Raspberry (Rubus idaeus). When loose in the wild (as here), it is an amazingly successful, hardy, difficult plant that seems to grow anywhere and everywhere. Its shoots grow really fast--a couple of meters in a couple of spring months. The thorns are numerous and sharp. I learned the hard way that you have to wear heavy gloves to deal with the shoots.
Location: Among some old machinery in "indefinite, long-term outdoor storage." Kreiterhof, near the village of Nebenau, District of Lörrach, Baden-Württemberg DE.

Its snowing outside again thwarting some of the yard work I wanted to do today. I decided to post some images of warmth and green growing plants from my trip to Florida in January. They warmed me up a little bit.
Maybe they will remind others who are suffering from wintertime blues of the warmer, sunnier, greener days ahead.
Geese and goslings all in a row paddle across a flooded field.
I think they picked up a couple more gosling somewhere along the line.
There are now 19 gosling following mama!
I will be gone for a bit as of tomorrow. I will catch up with you all upon my return. Keep posting!
there is freedom waiting for you,
on the breezes of the sky,
and you ask, "what if I fall?"
oh, but my darling,
what if you fly?

It seems a little late in the year to be spotting fledglings, but maybe I just don't know that much about nature.
I heard a bunch of chirping in this bush and went to investigate thinking it would a more developed bird and to my surprise I came face to face with a cardinal fledgling.
Nice find, and I managed to get a shot before the Mama cardinal got sick of me.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

The foal of a Belgian Draught horse at Hoeve Hangerijn is growing fast. In my albums 'Horses' and 'Near Bruges 2025' you can see a couple of earlier photos of the young stallion.
This chipmunk is constantly filling its cheeks with birdseed, then running off to hide them! This seems to be its full time job! LoL! Its cheeks can triple this size, it's amazing to watch!
The record setting heat of the past summer was shattered for several consecutive nights. Low temperatures in the mid 30s replaced the low 60s that had been in place for weeks. Patchy frost formed in some areas, bringing a selective end to the growing season, while nearby areas were spared. But the reprieve is only temporary. A killing frost is expected in the first week of October as arctic air sweeps down across the eastern half of the United States. I'm ambivalent at the prospect of losing what's left of my vegetable gardens. Lots of work to create and maintain, but tremendous Zen accompanies tending them and harvesting produce. Garden inspections are a part of my daily summer life, and the first couple of weeks after the killing frost will require some mental adjustment. Some other activity will fill the void, but as always, it's the crossover phase that's worrisome. I've tried to mitigate the sadness of seeing frozen blackness sweep over the planting beds that I've been nourishing since May. I've been pulling out the spent vines as the early plantings reached the end of the line and stopped producing. I'm clinging like grim death to whatever is still alive, trying to squeeze every last tomato and cucumber from the soil. It's become a losing battle. Even though warmer temperatures have returned, the sun angle is now much lower. The growth rate of the remaining plants is a mere shadow of what it was back in June and July when the sun hung high in the sky for 15 hours or more each day.
In the village cemetery the grass grows long in the old section. The summer hires that mowed the grounds through the summer have returned to college or wherever they go in the off season. Sadness seems to descend over the graves like a pall as they prepare to endure yet another winter.
We grow a variety of sunflowers in the garden. In the late summer and early fall, these sunflowers attract many birds that come to feed on the seeds. Normally, there are more than enough sunflower seeds to go around. However, as shown in the shot above, food fights sometimes occur as between these two North American Goldfinches. The photo was taken in August 2022, with my trusty Olympus digital camera. Enjoy and stay well.
