Scientific name: Buteo buteo.

 

Feeding: Buzzards are big birds, more than capable of taking sizeable birds and animals but, more often than not, they will target smaller prey. Rabbits are an important food source, and the birds suffered during the height of myxomatosis, but they will also take smaller mammals. Compared to all other raptors, Buzzard’s digestive systems are able to deal with a poor-quality diet and, in winter when other prey is hard to find, they are able to feed mostly on earthworms, beetles and other small invertebrates. These will be hunted on foot, and you can find Buzzards regularly sitting on the ground. In favoured fields, large numbers can gather and, although somewhat tolerant of each other, disagreements will break out if individuals get too close to others. In certain areas, usually in the uplands, Buzzards may hover when searching for food. Info: Hawk and Owl Trust.

The appropriately named Steep Bank Creek originates in Oyster Creek more than 3 miles north as the Great Blue Heron flies, wends it way west, then east, passing by my subdivision 1 mile to the north where it drains Double Lake during heavy rains. It then flows on to Riverstone Wetlands where this photo was taken, then south for 4 more miles as that Heron flies where it joins the Brazos River, which flows into the Gulf of Mexico. That’s the optimistic scenario, of course. Speaking of that Great Blue Heron, here it is in Steep Bank Creek, Sugar Land, Texas.

.Scientific name: Ipomoea Carnea

.Popular Names: Angry Cotton, Swamp's cotton, Majorana

.Family: Convolvulaceae

.Category: Shrubs, Tropical shrubs, weeds, creepers

.Climate: Equatorial, Subtropical, Tropical

.Origin: South America, Brazil

.Height: 1.8 to 2.4 meters, 2.4 to 3.0 meters, 3.0 to 3.6 meters

.Luminosity: Full Sun

.Life Cycle: Perennial

 

It is a floral, rustic and ornamental bush, but potentially dangerous in cattle creations. Medium, reaches 1 to 4 meters high. Its stem is branched, erect, with herbaceous texture and spongy interior.

The flowers arise abundant for nearly all year round, but mainly in the Spring and Summer. They can be roused, violet or white; the seeds are cottony and disperse by wind and water.

Angry cotton is one of these few plants that has the ability to produce flowers in all seasons.

In the garden it can be planted isolated or in groups, but adapts very well to the aquatic environment, adorning the margins of lakes and other water courses.

Although shrubby, it can also be conducted as a creeper, with due tutoring.

Its flowers are attractive to hummingbirds, bees and butterflies.

Extremely rustic plant, tolerates severe pruning, burnt, prolonged dry and floods, but does not tolerate frost or intense cold.

Common Names: New England aster, hairy Michaelmas-daisy, Michaelmas daisy.

'Shambles' is the name of a street in the old part of York. It's a relatively short street but the charm of it is that most of the buildings have been there for a long, long time, some of them actually overhanging the street. And make no mistake, some of these buildings are proper old, some dating back as far as 1350 (yes, I did say 1350!). It's gone a bit Harry Potter in recent years with all kinds of shops selling things like broomsticks and magic charms. A hit with the tourists you might say. And yes, that's true. But you can't deny that when the tourists clear out it does have a wonderful look to it and well worth a photo or two.

 

If you want to know the history of this street, and I assure you it is quite interesting, then have a look at the Wikipedia page which can be found here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shambles

Have we played this game before? I went back to my favorite abandoned car lot the other day and lo and behold something new has been moved in. It looks a bit like a Saab to me, but I am not that knowledgeable about cars. This car was a hideous lime green at one time, but was repainted white. It must have been done at an Earl Scheib Paint Shop, because it didn’t take.

Anyway, who will be the first to name the make? Extra bonus points are awarded for the year.

When you call my name

It’s gonna be my ticket

To the miracle land

When you call my name Stamping your initials

Across the back of my hand

 

This winter has been very long

I’ve hardly ever seen anyone

But spring has come and everything’s new

Now I have been sleeping with you

 

When you call my name

It’s gonna be my ticket

To the miracle land

When you call my name Stamping your initials

When I lie awake

Dreams of dread and wonder Dance before my eyes

Was this really meant for me?

Oh, my God, what a nice surprise!

When will I see you again?

 

There’s a line in the palm of my hand

That’s running deep and red as love

You take me with you when you fall

Bunschoten-Spakenburg is a medieval town first named in 1294 and received it's city rights by the Bishop of Utrecht in 1383. Because of these rights the citizens were allowed to build an earthen wall around the town. The fortifications didn't last long however because a part of the town was destroyed in 1427 in a war between two rival Bishops and the wall was never rebuilt. It was originally a very important fishing villiage since it was part of a wide, open valley of the river Eem. Their main catch was paling, which is still a favorite of the Dutch today.

 

A century after Bunschoten was first mentioned, the settlement of Spakenburg developed. Originally the two towns were separated by a river inlet but much has happened in their history to change the lay of the land. Because of the location on the coast of what was then the Zuiderzee (a shallow bay on the Northsea), many floods inundated the area which caused the towns to become isolated.

 

So dikes were built to hold back the sea and stay the floods, this also caused new land to be created behind the dikes, this land (polder in Dutch) was often below sealevel and needed drainage and pumps to remain dry even if the dikes held, a big disadvantage of the dikes was that it limited access to the sea.

 

In the early 1900's the prosperous fishing harbor boasted over 200 ships but the closing of the "Zuiderzee" after the floods 1916 and further reclaiming of land after that period brought an end to that. No commercial fishing is now done from this area but heritage wooden vessels are still being built and repaired here.

   

Common names are Persian silk tree and pink siris.[...]. The species is called Chinese silk tree, silk tree or mimosa in the United States. [...].

 

The flowers [of the Mimosa tree] bloom throughout the summer in dense inflorescences, which resemble starbursts of pink silky threads. [...]. They have been observed to attract bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. Wikipedia

Scotch Argus Butterfly:

 

Despite its name, the Scotch Argus is not only found in Scotland; it is also found at two sites in the north of England. A freshly emerged Scotch Argus is a sight to behold; the dark brown velvety upper sides making the butterfly appear almost jet black from a distance. The butterfly is unmistakable when seen basking with its wings open, when orange bands containing distinctive spots are revealed. This butterfly lives in well-defined colonies that are often very large.

Like the Mountain Ringlet, the ability of this butterfly to survive cool temperatures means that it was probably one of the first species to recolonise the British Isles after the last ice age, over 10,000 years ago. The English colonies, Arnside Knott and Smardale Gill, are both found in Westmorland. Colonies are much more numerous in Scotland, where this butterfly can be found in most of northern, western and southwest Scotland. This butterfly is absent from the lowlands of central Scotland, many of the western isles (including the Outer Hebrides), Orkney and Shetland.

I was bewitched by the friendly relationship between these two foals; in the next autumn they will be tamed and started their sporting profession. Only then will it be given a name,

by the Stud or from those who will buy them directly or at auctions.

 

Sono rimasto stregato dalla relazione amichevole tra questi due puledri; nel prossimo autunno saranno domati ed avviati alla loro professione sportiva. Solo allora gli sarà dato un nome dall'allevatore o da coloro che li acquisteranno direttamente o alle aste.

Lost Dutchman State Park – Named for the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine which was a famous legendary mine. A nearby mine that that you can take a ride into pulled out almost 4 thousand ponds of gold. The State Park is a beautiful park and campgrounds about 60 miles from Phoenix near the Superstition Mountains. I don’t think I would want to camp in the summer as it gets really hot but the winter was beautiful.

For the composition of this photo I wanted to show the Saguaro Cacti with the Mountains in the background. I choose a sunset because I needed the day explore for a location. I waited until the sun was just hitting the horizon to the right of the photo to get a nice side lit photo showing off the Saguaros and creating contrast and texture on the rock faces. There wasn’t any foreground for a wide angle, so I zoomed in to 35mm to keep the mountains looking large with the Saguaros. The one thing I would change would have been to move a couple of feet right or left to separate the two Saguaros on the right side.

Grey-crowned Babbler

Scientific Name: Pomatostomus temporalis

Description: The Grey-crowned Babbler is the largest of Australia's four babbler species. It is dark brown-grey above, with a distinctive grey crown stripe and a dark face mask that contrasts with a white eyebrow. The chin and throat are white, running into a pale grey lower breast. It has a long, curved bill, short rounded wings with cinnamon brown wing patches and a long tail tipped white. The eye is pale yellow in adults. There is a darker-coloured subspecies, rubeculus, in north-western Australia (often called the Red-breasted Babbler), that has a rufous lower breast and darker crown stripe. The Grey-crowned Babbler is a noisy and gregarious bird, usually found in small groups of four to twelve, and is often seen on the ground or in low trees. It is sometimes called the Yahoo, after one of its calls.

Similar species: The Grey-crowned Babbler lacks the dark crown of other babblers and has a yellow rather than a dark eye.

Distribution: The Grey-crowned Babbler is widespread throughout north-western, northern, central and eastern Australia. It is also found in Papua New Guinea.

Habitat: The Grey-crowned Babbler is found in open forests and woodlands, favouring inland plains with an open shrub layer, little ground cover and plenty of fallen timber and leaf litter. May be seen along roadsides and around farms. In south-east Melbourne, small populations survive on golf courses.

Seasonal movements: Sedentary.

Feeding: Grey-crowned Babblers feed on insects and other invertebrates and sometimes eat seeds. They forage in groups of two to fifteen birds on the ground among leaf litter, around fallen trees and from the bark of shrubs and trees (they tend to use trees more than other babblers).

Breeding: Grey-crowned Babblers live and breed in co-operative territorial groups of two to fifteen birds (usually four to twelve). Groups normally consist of a primary breeding pair along with several non-breeding birds (sometimes groups may contain two breeding pairs or two females that both breed). Most members of the group help to build nests, with the primary female contributing the most effort. Two types of nest are built: roost-nests (usually larger and used by the whole group) and brood-nests (for the breeding females), and often old nest sites are renovated and re-used from year to year. The large domed nests are placed in a tree fork 4 m - 7 m high and are made of thick sticks with projections that make a hood and landing platform for the entrance tunnel. The nest chamber is lined with soft grass, bark, wool and feathers. The brooding female (sometimes more than one) is fed by the other group members and all help to feed the nestlings. Larger groups tend to raise more young, and two broods are usually raised per season.

Calls: Loud scolding and chattering calls: 'wee-oo'. Also distinctive 'ya-hoo' duet by breeding female ('yah') and male ('ahoo') repeated six to eight times.

Minimum Size: 25cm

Maximum Size: 29cm

Average size: 27cm

Average weight: 81g

Breeding season: July to February

Clutch Size: Usually two to three, up to five if more than one female.

Incubation: 23 days

Nestling Period: 23 days
