today,
I was called a 'dwarf' by a friend;
I have thirteen mosquito bites (and counting) on my legs, so I've decided to wear knee socks until they go away;
I realized that autumn in San Francisco isn't as great as it is in New York.
in other news, I ordered a hot dog costume.
Tripod posture : while grooming, the springtail suddenly lifted all legs of one side of the body. They remaine stable on the 3 legs of the other side of the body.

On the NE side of the slough there is a small kind of 'beach' which has yielded good shorebirds this year. Today there was a mixed flock of around 40 Stilt, Semipalmated and White-rumped sandpiper. Lots of foraging and aggressive behaviour, even between species. The black spots on the water are midge cases. Dale took a handful of mud and water and there were also a number of small worms. Seems to be a super productive spot. No wonder it is so popular. Brown slough, Condie, Saskatchewan, Canada. 27 May 2022
Miami, FL. October 25, 2020. Hasselblad 500 CM/Carl Zeiss Planar 2.8/80 T* lens/ Lomochrome Purple film (100 ISO).
Spring foliage is normally delicate, beautiful and flowery. The foliage of a desert Joshua tree is built to withstand the torturous rigors of a harsh desert environment, on the other hand.
It has a unique beauty.

There were at least 4 LRP's at College Lake yesterday posturing and hopefully pairing up with some quite impressive displaying taking place both in flight and on the terra firma :-)
Great Crested Grebe posturing on the lake. It was making quite a lot of noise whilst doing it. No sign of its' partner but apparently there is one somewhere.
I'm going to Essex on Sunday to hopefully see some southern wildlife.
These cats are absolutely stunning but I actually pondered for a long time about whether or not to post this shot. I remember from my childhood when I want to museums and all the animals would be stuffed with those menacing expressions. Even completely harmless animals had their teeth bared for all to see. The agression displayed was often a misleading indication of the nature of the beast. Obviously a tiger is a big, mean meat eating machine but there's more to this animal than just menacing teeth....
We visited my parents this weekend. We took one morning to see the wildlife at Brazos Bend State Park. This guy was growling...perhaps warning the other alligators that this was his spot.
