I have about 5 cottontails that come several times a day and they want their Licorice and eat some rabbit food. They are spoiled. 😁

One of my favourite Lollies (candy). The squares seem to have got smaller over the years! All candies in this photo were consumed! HMM :)
#Stick -- #MacroMondays
Far too many of these were consumed during the making of this macro shot. :-/
As the shadows begin to grow long with the day soon coming to a close, Union Pacific's 82 Job has just gotten clearance to proceed over Niles Junction and onto the Oakland Subdivision. Today's train is making an extra run down to American Licorice in Union City after Wednesday's trip was cut short due to a tree down on the tracks as a result of the recent round of storms that hammered the Bay Area. This evening's train only had a short 4 cars to bring down and a pair of GP60's including the UP 1068 leading on the way down. This section of tracks is quite the time capsule with original Western Pacific code line posted up to the right of the train and just behind me is the now unused Shinn Yard, also of WP origin.
A snowberry clearwing moth feeding on wild licorice flowers. The root of this species has a distinct licorice flavor, but commercial licorice is obtained from another plant of this genus that is not a North American native.

I love licorice! Black is my first choice, but red and brown are great choices too!

Wild Licorice, Glycyrrhiza lepidota, grows throughout our area and is widespread on the continent (but absent from the southeast). Tall and gangly, it is interesting visually, although not easy to photograph because it tends to get lost against busy backgrounds.
Here the soft light removed unwanted shadows, allowing the plant to stand out against a background of out-of-focus grass. Green on green: an unlikely design combination, but I think it works!
I haven't posted any critters for a while, so it's time for a new image set, starting tomorrow...
