The Hooded Merganser:
Spotted this Female Hooded Merganser Strutting Her Stuff after finishing a breakfast of Frog Legs alfresco. The legs were still attached to the frog, so it took her awhile to dine, but she seems to have had a Happy Ending : )
Hooded Mergansers are fairly common on small ponds and rivers, where they dive for fish, crayfish, and other food, seizing it in their thin, serrated bills. They find their prey underwater by sight. They can actually change the refractive properties of their eyes to improve their underwater vision. In addition, they have an extra eyelid, called a “nictitating membrane,” which is transparent and helps protect the eye during swimming, like a pair of goggles.
Hooded Merganser ducklings leave their nest cavity within 24 hours of hatching. First, their mother checks the area around the nest and calls to the nestlings from ground level. From inside the nest, the little fluffballs scramble up to the entrance hole and then flutter to the ground, which may be 50 feet or more below them. In some cases, they have to walk half a mile or more with their mother to the nearest body of water.
The oldest recorded Hooded Merganser was a male and at least 14 years, 6 months old when he was shot in Mississippi in 2009. He had been banded in Minnesota in 1995.

Autumn foliage at Mount Rainier National Park, Washington
Tapestries are woven into meadows like our lives weave into who we are, from the threads of who we used to be...
On this day that looked like autumn but felt like summer (we are having an unseasonably warm and dry autumn so far), I spent a glorious stretch of time in this mountain meadow. As I sat in solitude on a rock, surrounded by the vivid colors of the season, I listened to the trickle of a small stream and the sounds of the buzzing bees and occasional bird calls. The sun warmed my face and arms as I breathed in the clean mountain air, a refreshing change from the wildfire smoke that has lingered in the air off and on for weeks where I live. And in those moments, all else seemed to fade away…
Life is a great tapestry. The individual is only an insignificant thread in an immense and miraculous pattern.

Have you seen the seven oceans?
Or the snow cap of a mountain top?
Or the northern lights set in motion?
Or a heartbeat slowed to a stop?
Have you read a book by candle light?
Or heard a leader's call to arms?
Have you ever felt my love burn so bright?
Like a fireball in your palms
More than all the things that I have seen
You will always be part of my tapestry
More than all the places I've been
You will always be part of my tapestry
Have you felt a revolution?
Do you ever sit to stop and pause?
Just to take a little moment
To see what's mine and yours
More than all the things that I have seen
You will always be part of my tapestry
More than all the places I've been
You will always be part of my tapestry
These are just lines of latitude
That we made up, drawn upon a map
We could be meeting with more than minds
We could be woven and intertwined
More than all the things that I have seen
You will always be part of my tapestry
More than all the places I've been
You will always be part of my tapestry

Cley Marshes was a tapestry of blurry colour. I did intend to visit again that weekend when it wasn't raining and the light was better. I didn't get there of course.
There is such a bounty of beauty blooming in the May garden: everywhere you look you see another glorious masterpiece like my Crabapple tree in late afternoon light.

Tomorrow we will focus on the unique geological formations at Little Musselroe Bay. But today we are looking at the natural beauty of this seaside environment. And one of the great attractions in Tasmania is the range of lichens that thrive in the Littoral Zone on our beach rocks. The Littoral Zone is where the rocks don't get covered in water and the lichens (particularly the orange and yellow varieties) thrive.
The growth on this rock reminds me of the textures of a wonderful tapestry: Nature's tapestry.
Tundra Swan, Sandhill Cranes and Canadian Geese fill the cloudy airspace at Ridgefield national wildlife refuge. Best when viewed large.
I have gazed at this crabapple tree in our garden countless times. When the winter chill comes to an end, I have seen how the pink flowers push their way through its bare branches and stay there till spring, when the leaves make an appearance, reddish at first then turning into different shades of green through the summer. As the flowers fade, the tiny, red crabapples appear. In autumn, the leaves start to turn yellow and as winter draws near I see the crabapples fall on the ground. Towards winter’s end all that is left is an image of a somewhat desolate looking tree - no pinks, no reds, no greens, no yellows, just the deep dark browns of its gnarly trunk and branches. Yet the sight does not sadden me because I know that when spring returns, the cycle begins all over again. Such is the tapestry of time which I witness in my garden through the years. Different patterns and textures and colors get woven into this tapestry, their memory forever etched in my mind – and sometimes captured with my camera.
Looking down from the Alcazar in Segovia, I couldn't help but notice the beauty of the river Eresma lined with the stunning gold of autumn leaves framing a tapestry of lacy reflections.

If I could take a brush and paint the mountains and the moors,
I would splash the hillsides yellow and cover them in gorse.
I'd take the finest needle and the darkest thread of green
And sew a line of bracken along the landscape. In-between
I'd lay a purple carpet of wild heather in the dells
And fringe the edge of all the woods with their pretty lilac bells.
I'd merge the bracken with the heather, mix their colours like the sea,
A green and purple ocean on my own rich tapestry.
Then I'd take a ball of soft, white wool and stitch a mass of daisy chains
Around the lush green meadows and up the sides of winding lanes.
I would stencil on the marshes, just like pure white china cups,
Some fragile water lilies and by the ponds, sweet buttercups.
I'd mix orange, reds and yellows planting poppies wild and free
Onto nature's colored canvas, my own rich tapestry.

For all you talented people who love to do needle point or tapestries...here is a photo with this conversion to a tapestry. Enjoy!
I captured these beauties at the Wooden Shoe tulip fields near Woodburn Oregon.
No use of my image without my permission. Thanks
The rolling hills of the Palouse are a thrill to explore and photograph. I drove along dirt roads at random just to see what I could see and I was not disappointed.
