Some of Bangkok's best-kept secrets are found in local markets. They offer an array of items at very low prices, and quite often contain the friendliest variety of Thai people.
Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis)
This is one of the cardinal parents that have made a nest in one of the trees in my backyard. For weeks I saw the pair preparing the nest, and just recently I noticed that they were actively feeding some chicks in the nest.
The problem is that the tree that they've chosen is very unstable and gets blown around by the wind a lot, esp here in north Texas. The wind has blown both chicks out of the nest. The first time, one of the two chicks did not survive the fall. I put the surviving chick back into the nest. The next day I found it on the ground again, still alive. I put it back in the nest again. A few hours later I found the chick on the ground again. This time I scooped it up and took it to a local wildlife shelter. They are caring for it now, much to the dismay of the original parents. Ah well, hopefully they will learn to build their nest in a more stable tree next year.
NOTE: Whoa, after seeing this on my work monitor it appears as if the saturation is a bit high. I might need to re-calibrate my photo-editing monitor.
note the four petals! It has stem and basal leaves which are different from one another, was in bloom March 27, it blooms later than another common one we have not seen.
A great way to tour the island of Inis Oirr is by horse and cart. No really. It helps the islanders earn a living, and is a darn sight more fun than walking to the wreck of the Plassey.
There will be local elections in March, so the political parties come out and hand out leaflets to the people who come to the market. Somewhere in this melee there is the national leader of the christian-democratic party.

This is a photograph from the finish of the 11th annual Kinnegad 5KM Road Race and Fun Run 2022 which was held in the town of Kinnegad, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Wednesday 13th July 2022 at 19:30. This race is organised by Coralstown Kinnegad GAA club with assistance from Coralstown Kinnegad Athletic Club. This race has firmly established itself on the local race calendar and yet again the race retains wonderful support from local clubs and runners. Like most road races this race returned from the enforced absence during the COVID-19 pandemic. The race route continues to remain the same.
The race was first run in 2010 (see the photograph link below). The race is a right handed course, flat and fast and takes runners on a traffic free route which includes 3KM on the local road 'Boreen Bradach', which is a very popular walking and jogging route around the outskirts of the town. The boreen is a flat and sheltered by hedgerow. The boreen emerges onto the main street with the finish is on the famous main street of Kinnegad in front of Harry's Hotel. This Kinnegad streetscape will be well known to many many people who traveled between the east and west of Ireland before the arrival of the motorway system which we have today. Kinnegad is situated at the intersection of the both the M6 Galway bound motorway and the M4 Sligo/Mayo bound motorway.
Tonight's weather for almost perfect for racing. The recent warm weather continued with temperatures of around 17C on the night and a light breeze. Refreshments were served in the GAA club afterwards

Well, damn and blast! I was looking forward to standing trial alongside a police officer on a charge of criminal damage, horse rustling or some such. Now I'll have to go out and buy a certificate frame instead.
