The distinctive character of Condylostylus is a pair of setose mounds on the frons bearing the vertical setae. When present, wing markings in the form of two bands joined along the costa will distinguish Condylostylus from other American Sciapodinae. In addition, the following combination of typical, but not universal, characters can help ID the genus:
vertex deeply excavated
M distinctly forked (unforked in Mesorhaga)
frons usually with pale bristles in addition to black (usually only black in Sciapus)
setae of calypter usually black (usually pale in Sciapus)
scutellum with two pairs of bristles (outer pair reduced or absent in Sciapus)
In many species, vein M1 is more sharply curved towards the base of the wing than in other genera. If you read to this point and understood at least quarter of this stuff- congratulation, you are a much better entomologist that I am
One source says the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains range is about 1,000 km (620 mi) in length. Its highest point is 7,090 m (23,260 ft) located 100 km (62 mi) to the northwest of Lhasa. The range is parallel to the Himalayas in the Transhimalayas, and north of the Brahmaputra River. [3] Another source says the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains extend 460 miles (740 km) from Nyêmo County in the west to Ranwu County (the southwestern part of Baxoi County) in the east.
Its highest peak is Mount Nyenchen Tanglha (Nyainqêntanglha Feng) at 7,162 metres (23,497 ft).[4]
The southern side of the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains is precipitous, and falls by around 2,000 metres (6,600 ft), while the northern side is fairly level and descends about 1,000 metres (3,300 ft). Most of the mountains are below 6,500 metres (21,300 ft).[5] They contain 7080 glaciers covering an area of 10,700 square kilometres (4,100 sq mi).[4]
The Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains have an average latitude of 30°30'N and a longitude between 90°E and 97°E. Together with the Gangdise Shan located further west, it forms the Transhimalaya [a] which runs parallel to the Himalayas north of the Yarlung Tsangpo River.
The Drukla Chu river rises in the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains, where it is called the Song Chu river, and joins the Gyamda Chu river. The combined rivers run about 100 kilometres (62 mi) southeast to the Yarlung Tsangpo river.

Commonly named the Red-veined Darter
Body length: 38m to 40mm (1.5 to 1.6 inches)
Order: Odonata,
Flight period mainly: Late April to Early November.
Sympetrum fonscolombii is a common, widespread species. A resident (and more common) in the Mediterranean regions of Europe. Can also be found in the more northern regions of Europe, as far north as Britain and Sweden and over towards Poland in the East. But in these countries here it becomes much scarcer and will be rarely seen. It is most common in North Africa, the Middle East, and into south-western Asia including the Indian Subcontinent.
Habitat: The Red-veined Darter can be found in a large range of habitats, although preferring warm still waters, these often being open and shallow. It can also be found in ponds, lakes, marshes, coastal lagoons and slow flowing rivers.
Males are notably territorial and will often be seen observing on a exposed perch.
After copulation a pair can often be seen flying in tandem, with the female dipping her abdomen into the water depositing her eggs. The eggs and larvae develop within a few months and S. fonscolombii unlike most other European dragonflies has more than one generation a year. Some larvae will overwinter.
This species is similar to other Sympetrum species, especially Crocothemis Erythraea; as both males being bright red in overall appearance, closer inspection will give a positive identification especially as that species has no black on its face and legs.
Females have an ochre yellow abdomen. Immature males can be mistaken for females but often have more red and a single line on each side of the abdomen.
Walrus tusks keep growing throughout its life, so it is possible to guess how old an individual is by the length of its teeth. This one has moderately long tusks, and the scarring round the neck also show it has been in a few fights so also indicates age. The tusks are modified canine teeth but they also have a variable number of rudimentary teeth that aren't used much. This is because Walruses eat shellfish (bivalve molluscs like clams) by sucking out the contents, which they swallow without chewing, then discard the empty shells. Though they sometimes eat other invertebrates such as crabs, shrimps, and even octopuses, and occasionally slow-moving fish. I took this in Svalbard where they are a common and familiar sight. I quite liked the little streams of water from each tusk tip.
The title (Looking a bit long in the tooth) is an expression meaning that someone is getting a bit old for what they are doing. It comes from horses, whose gums recede as they get older, making their teeth appear longer. So before buying a horse, the purchaser would look in its mouth to check the length of its teeth, and to gauge how much working life it had left. This is also where we get the expression that you should not look a gift horse in the mouth. And one final thing, the first time I ever heard the "long in the tooth" expression was from a teacher in my first year at secondary school, more than fifty years ago. It was the day of parents' evening and he said he preferred these for the younger classes because by sixth form the mothers were getting a bit long in the tooth. I imagine that would be a sackable offence today.

The American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis), sometimes referred to colloquially as a gator or common alligator, is a large crocodilian reptile endemic to the Southeastern United States. It is one of two living species in the genus Alligator within the family Alligatoridae.
Adult male American alligators measure 11.2 to 15.1 ft in length, and can weigh up to (999 lb). Females are smaller, measuring (8.5 to 9.8 ft) in length.
The American alligator inhabits freshwater wetlands, such as marshes and cypress swamps from Texas to southeastern and coastal North Carolina.
American alligators are apex predators and consume fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Hatchlings feed mostly on invertebrates.

When to Harvest Grapes
The precise time for picking grapes is dependent on the location, length of growing season, variety of grape, crop load and the intended use of the grape. Heavy crop loads take longer to mature. The optimum time for harvesting grapes will vary year to year as do environmental conditions — sometime after the berries turn color (veraison).
Color – Harvesting grapes for use in jellies or wine making must occur at just the right stage of maturity for maximum sweetness. Grapes change color from green to blue, red or white, depending upon the variety. Color is one of the indicators of ripeness. However, it is not the most reliable indicator, as many varieties of grapes change color well prior to ripening. Still, when completely ripe, the whitish coating on the grapes becomes more evident and the seeds turn from green to brown.
Size – Size is another gauge of the ripening of grapes. When mature, the grapes are full size and a bit less firm to the touch.
Taste – Hands down, the best way to ascertain if your grapes are ripe enough to harvest is to taste them. Sample the grapes three to four weeks prior to the approximate harvest date and continue to taste the grapes as they mature. Try to take samples at the same time of day from a variety of areas on the vine.
“At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned,* like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.”
- Matthew 9:36-38

Can greylag geese be white?
It can be white, completely gray (like the wild form), or somewhere in-between.
Are greylag geese native to UK?
There are two subspecies of Greylag Goose recognised: Western Greylag A. a. anser from Iceland, and north and central Europe; wintering from Scotland, south to northern Africa and east to Iran.
The greylag goose is a large, bulky, goose with a big head, and the largest of the grey goose species. It was one of the first species of animals to be domesticated in Ancient Egypt about 3000 years ago and is a typical farmyard goose. The domestic breed is known as A. a. domesticus and can interbreed with Anser anser. Many birds seen in the UK outside of the winter months are re-colonised from domestic populations and are often semi-tame. It is seen as a pest due to overgrazing of agricultural crops and is listed in Schedule 2 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act, meaning it can be killed or taken outside of the close season.
Key facts Scientific name: Anser anser
Status: Resident wild and feral populations, winter visitor.
Breeding birds: 46,000 pairs UK wintering birds: 140,000 British birds and 88,000 from Iceland
Conservation status: Amber Family: Ducks, geese & swans
Length: 76 – 90 cm Wingspan: 147 – 180 cm
Weight: 2.9 – 1.4 kg
Typical lifespan: 8 years

Riley loves the Posing Pillow - today draped with a length of paw-print fleece.
Every time the Posing Pillow come he out jumps on top and pretty much refuses to leave unless bribed off.
Here he is posing himself while I was fiddling with the camera.

Riley seems born to pose.
My 5th Golden Retriever, all from the same breeder, all male, all related, all obtained as puppies - I know better than to think it's anything special I've done.
There's something about Riley (as with Henry, before him) that the camera seems to love.
It's a mystery.

Upper Antelope Canyon, about 200m in length, is a slot canyon in the American Southwest. It is on Navajo land east of Page, Arizona. Antelope Canyon includes two separate, scenic slot canyon sections, referred to individually as "Upper Antelope Canyon" or "The Crack" Antelope Canyon "or" The Corkscrew ". The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is Tsé bighánílíní, which means 'the place where water runs through rocks'. Lower Antelope Canyon is Hazdistazí (called "Hasdestwazi" by the Navajo Parks and Recreation Department), or 'spiral rock arches'. Both are in the LeChee Chapter of the Navajo Nation.
Antelope Canyon's winding walls were carved by fast flowing flash flood waters. The floods carried abrasive sand, rocks logs and other debris picked up by the sudden torrents. Over millenia, these floods sculpted natural corridors through the soft sandstone. (sourced from internet)

Sandhill Crane,
fBetween 34 to 48 inches in length with a wingspan of nearly 7 feet. They are very tall with a long neck and long legs. Largely gray with a red forehead. Juveniles browner with no red on head. Plumage often appears a rusty color because of iron stains from water of ponds or marshes.
They inhabit large freshwater marshes, prairie ponds and marshy tundra. They are also on prairies and grain fields during migration and in winter.
They range from Siberia and Alaska east across arctic Canada to the Hudson Bay and south to western Ontario. There are isolated populations in the Rocky Mountians, northern prairies, and the Great Lakes region along with in Mississippi, Georgia and Florida. They winter in California's Central Valley and across the southern states from Arizona to Florida. They can also be found in Cuba.
