I followed this white-tailed deer buck around for an hour or half or so on Thanksgiving morning. He moved through prairie clearings, dense brush, and open woodlands, clearly in search of a hot doe. Every so often he would stop to work a scrape or make a rub. He worked this blackjack oak sapling over particularly well, raking his antlers against it and sending bits and strips of bark flying through the air. He had interesting forked brow tines that probably helped in this effort.
The Empty Quarter area of the UAE--the Rub' al Khali--is the largest contiguous sand desert in the world, encompassing most of the southern third of the Arabian Peninsula. The desert covers some 650,000 square kilometres including parts of Saudi Arabia, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. It is part of the larger Arabian Desert.

I made this out of rub-ons. If you can't read it, it says A life without the Jonas Brothers bears no meaning.
Clathrus ruber es una especie saprófita de hongos de la familia Phallaceae. En muchos lugares se lo conoce como «jaula roja», en referencia a su cuerpo de forma oval, con un enrejado de ramas entrelazadas
Il Clathrus ruber (Micheli, 1729) è un fungo tanto curioso quanto comune che appartiene alla famiglia delle Clathraceae.
Questo particolare fungo, a maturità, secerne una gleba deliquescente di color marrone-verdognola oppure nerastra che emana odore cadaverico abbastanza fastidioso, avvertibile anche a distanza; odore forte ma non al livello di quello del Phallus impudicus o del Phallus hadriani, che è assolutamente insopportabile e chiaramente percepibile anche a molti metri.
Venne descritto, per la prima volta, nel 1592 da Fabio Colonna, che lo denominò "Fungo lanterna" per la sua particolare forma.

Macro Monday - Squared Circle
Novelty erasers are made in various colours, shapes and guises - often made of hard vinyl, which tends to smear heavy markings when actually used as an eraser!!
Xanthostemon ruber est un arbuste ou arbre pouvant atteindre 20m de haut, de la famille des Myrtaceae.
Endémique de Nouvelle-Calédonie, il fréquente le sud de la Grande Terre, en forêt humide ou dans le maquis.
Rolling sand dunes in the expansive Rub’ al Khali desert on the southern Arabian Peninsula are pictured in this image from the Sentinel-2A satellite.
Also known at the ‘Empty Quarter’, the Rub’ al Khali is the largest contiguous sand desert in the world. Precipitation rarely exceeds 35 mm a year and regular high temperatures are around 50°C.
The yellow lines and dots in this false-colour image are sand dunes. Looking closer at the dunes in the lower right, many have three or more ‘arms’ shaped by changing wind directions and are known as ‘star dunes’. They tend to ‘grow’ upwards rather than laterally, and reach up to 250 m in height in some parts of the Rub’ al Khali.
The dunes are interspersed with hardened flat plains – remnants of shallow lakes that existed thousands of years ago, formed by monsoon-like rains and runoff. The multispectral instrument on Sentinel-2 uses parts of the infrared spectrum to detect subtle changes in vegetation cover, but can also see changes in mineral composition where vegetation is sparse. In this image, shades of brown to bright purple show the mineral composition, possibly including salt or gypsum.
This image – also featured on the Earth from Space video programme – was captured by Sentinel-2A on 22 December 2015. The satellite is the first in the two-satellite Sentinel-2 mission for Europe’s Copernicus programme, and carries a wide-swath high-resolution multispectral imager with 13 spectral bands for a new perspective of our land and vegetation.

Red Valerian (Centranthus ruber) growing in my garden. I encourage this ‘gardener’s weed’ to grow in my wild area as it is popular with pollinators of all types but it is especially favoured by the larger moths. It is a particular favourite of the Hummingbird Hawk moth.
The drive along the Al Qua'a-Um al Zamool road bordering Oman and Saudi Arabia is amazing. It is the best area to view the largest star dunes in this area of the Rub' al Khali. The Rub' al Khali is the largest contiguous sand desert in the world, encompassing most of the southern third of the Arabian Peninsula. The desert covers some 650,000 square kilometres including parts of Saudi Arabia, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. It is part of the larger Arabian Desert. One very large pile of sand!!!

Not a very good shot, we were sitting high up in the bleachers at the Rupp Arena, and this is using my long lens, but I thought he was so cute posing
This is our 'Mama' squirrel. I've seen this belly rubbing on almost every squirrel in the last weeks. We think it's because they get their winter pelt and this seems to be a bit itchy (Squirrels-2019-6162.jpg)
Guests at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park had the opportunity to see an endangered Sumatran tiger cub this morning at the Park’s Paul Harter Animal Care Center. The male cub, born Sept. 24, had been hand-reared at the Animal Care Center. Keepers say the health of the cub has improved greatly under veterinary care.
The cub came under direct care of animal care staff a few days after his birth, when it was determined that he was not receiving proper nourishment from first-time tiger mother, Joanne. The cub has been making steady progress and now weighs 17 pounds. He’s active, and he is starting to eat some meat and bone solids.
