Willow Flycatcher with a small insect, taking just a brief moment to pose for me. Hyper-humus Marsh, Lafayette, NJ
Requires humus rich, well-drained soil and preferably full sun to do it justice!
Dense panicles of marvellously fragrant, double white flowers in May and June and heart-shaped, fresh green leaves. Mmm eh?
This elegant white lilac is perfect for a sunny mixed or shrub border. Growing a late summer flowering clematis through the branches is a good way of enhancing the shrub after it has flowered!
The start of the Yellow Warbler's song. They've returned to the hyper-humus marsh in the Paulinskill WMA, right on schedule.
"The wind smelled of humus, lichen, the musky odor of pecan husks broken under the shoe, a sunshower on the fields across the bayou. But any poetry that might have been contained in that moment was lost when I stared into Honoria's face, convinced that human insanity was as close to our fingertips as the act of rubbing fog off a window pane."

La vedovella celeste è una specie dell’Europa meridionale con tendenza montana, presente in tutte le regioni dell’Italia settentrionale (salvo che in Emilia-Romagna), in Toscana, nelle Marche e sulle montagne della Campania. La distribuzione regionale si estende su quasi tutto il territorio; in Carso la specie è rarissima nell'Isontino, mentre è frequente nel Triestino, salvo che sui colli arenacei di Muggia; nelle popolazioni carsiche compaiono individui con caratteri transizionali rispetto a G. meridionalis (Podp.) O. Schwarz. Cresce in lande sassose, prati aridi e morene consolidate, su suoli calcarei primitivi e ricchi in scheletro, poveri in humus ed in composti azotati, dai 200 ai 2600 m circa. La pianta contiene un glucoside velenoso, la globularina, e veniva utilizzata come potente lassativo. Il nome generico deriva dal latino 'globulus' (piccola sfera) e si riferisce alla forma dei capolini; il nome specifico significa 'con foglie a forma di cuore'. Forma biologica: camefita reptante. Periodo di fioritura: aprile-giugno.

A plinthic soil contains a significant amount of plinthite. Plinthite (Gr. plinthos, brick) is an iron-rich, humus-poor mixture of clay with quartz and other highly weathered minerals. It commonly occurs as reddish redox concentrations in a layer that has a polygonal (irregular), platy (lenticular), or reticulate (blocky) pattern. Plinthite irreversibly hardens upon exposure to repeated wetting and drying, especially if exposed to heat from the sun. Other morphologically similar iron-rich materials that do not progressively harden upon repeated wetting and drying are not considered plinthite. The horizon in which plinthite occurs commonly has 2.5 percent (by mass) or more citrate dithionite extractable iron in the fine-earth fraction and a ratio between acid oxalate extractable Fe and citrate-dithionite extractable Fe of less than 0.10.
In soil science, the "C" horizon is the soil layer consisting more or less of weathered parent rock or deposited material that is little affected by pedogenesis (soil formation). If an overlying horizon contains a significant amount of clay, over time, the clay may be transported into and along vertical cracks or along channels within macropores creating clay coats or clay flows.
The dark red zone in the lower part of this profile is an example of the aquitard layer below a well developed plinthic B horizon of a coastal plain soil. This layer seasonally perches water facilitating plinthite formation. The horizon exhibits very weak very coarse blocky structure with very thick clay coating on internal seams or cracks. Clay coating is common in the very deep layers (3-4 meters or more below the soil surface) where pedogenesis is thought to be minimal or not present. The red area has a sandy loam to sandy clay loam texture, whereas the gray area has texture of clay loam or clay.
The gray tubes or channels throughout the aquitard layer are thought to be formed by biological activity at a time when the sediments were being deposited. In the current environment, they commonly contain coarse roots within elongated macropores. The macropores may be completed filled with soil material or they be open (areas that once contained live roots, but are currently void of roots due to decomposition), allowing for the transmission of air and water within the channel.
Because of the dark red color and dense characteristics, these layers are referred to by the local soil scientists as the "brick" layer.

I saw several Song Sparrows today gathering grass for nests from along a trail at Hyper-humus Marsh in Lafayette, NJ.
I was buying a humus at the best humus stall in Jerusalem
(as you can understand, like any Israeli, I consider myself an expert in humus).
She approached the next stall and, also, asked for a hums.
It was clear she is a gentle tourist.
I wondered if I should warn her that she is missing the best humus when
She is buying at the wrong stall,
but as in introvert, shy photographer,
(that doesn't want to be conceived like a rude Israeli male chauvinist)
I said nothing.
Instead I hide myself behind the camera,
and concentrated in capturing her as good as I can.
I was rather satisfied with the result;
I hope she too…
What do you say:
Should I warn her?
