There are over 40 different varieties of mustard plants, but three are the most popular for culinary use; black, brown, and white mustard seeds typically go into recipes and making mustard. All three varieties are found in the U.S. as well as other parts of the world.
Mustard is the second most-used spice in the United States, as its usage is only exceeded by the peppercorn. And it's no wonder since mustard works well with all types of meats, pork, poultry, and seafood. You may be used to standard yellow prepared mustard, but there are other wonderful varieties of seeds and prepared mustards to experiment with.

One of 5 varieties of minivets in the forest we visited and a lifer!. Not the rarest, but definitely quite an uncommon one. It looks similar to the common Scarlet Minivet, but has a rosy frontside due to which it derives that name.
Similar behaviour as that of the other minivets except that it prefers small groups, usually 2 where both the male and female forage together. It is also a high canopy bird and prefers to come out to the open at the top!
ebird doesn't list the forest we visited as a native range of this bird, but since we sighted it during the non-migratory season, assume its resident there. The last trip we even sighted it nesting.
Thanks so much in advance for your views, faves and feedback.
Ring-necked Pheasants come in all colours these days and here are two more from up on Sheriffmuir. This variety lacks the neck ring but had a distinctive reddish cast to its plumage
Meadow Katydid (Conocephalus (Chloroxiphidion) upolueis) nymph
I have posted a number of Common Garden Katydid nymph images recently so here is a Meadow Katydid nymph - the other species I see in our garden.
The Sow Thistle flower she is on is about 12 mm (approx 1/2 inch) at its widest.
This fabulous photograph is available at my online store in a wide variety of products. This link will take you there.

Sometimes the sea looks grey or with an assortment of blues and adding a touch of white foam or sea diamonds. Pastels, reflections ripples, patterns and the intensity of the sun add to the variety of sea artwork to be appreciated.
It is the first year we have this variety of daffodils in the garden. As you may have seen in photos I posted earlier on, they are not all identical.
CSX M434 comes off the Iona Island causeway with CSX SD40-2 #8040 leading CN and CSX gevos. Contrary to normal circumstances, the River Sub has had a host of 40-2 leaders, mostly on the 433 and 434.
I have a pretty blue columbine growing in my yard, but I really don't think any of the cultivated varieties are as attractive as this Wild Columbine I find in the woods right now.

Back in 2009, two SD60s, one each INRD and SOO along with an SD40-2XR from MRL lead a K203 from Roseport, MN, for the INRD at Fayette, IN. Fifteen more miles lay ahead as it passes the north end of Clinton siding on CSX.

NS 265 splits the searchlight signals at Afton, NY, on the D&H Freight Main with a colorful consist behind SD60E #6953.
While most of the images I post are of abandoned places, this is not. This beauty is on it way to being refurbished.
Characteristics
Large, green variety that sings with a hard, sharp rattle. The wings are broad and long: they are about twice the length of the abdomen. In the female they reach to the tip of the ovipositor. The females have a long, almost straight ovipositor.
Habitat
The species lives in sprouting, firm herbs and firm thickets such as bramble vegetation. There, despite their size and sound, they are quite difficult to find: the green is a good protective color, the animals turn away behind a stem and they stop singing when you get close. (MVV).
Appearance
General throughout the Netherlands.
Kenmerken
Grote, groene soort, die zingt met een harde, scherpe ratel. De vleugels zijn breed en lang: ze zijn ongeveer twee maal de achterlijflengte. Bij het vrouwtje reiken ze tot aan de punt van de legboor. De vrouwtjes hebben een lange, vrijwel rechte legboor.
Habitat
De soort leeft in opgeschoten, stevige kruiden en in stevige struweelzomen zoals bramevegetaties. Daar zijn ze, ondanks hun grootte en geluid, best lastig te vinden: het groen is een goede schutkleur, de dieren draaien weg achter een stengel en ze stoppen met zingen als je in de buurt komt. (mvv).
Voorkomen
Algemeen in heel Nederland.

The joint Union Pacific and Utah Railway yard was packed with interesting equipment the morning of Aug. 27, 1978. Parked along the turntable pit are GP7 No. 120, GP30 No. 873, and GP9 No. 312. TR5 “Cow & Calf” No. 1875/1875B are spotted on the roundhouse lead while Utah Railway wood caboose No. 60 is parked out of service on a side track.

I was taking photos of the Wildfire that burnt near Brookmere, BC this summer and noticed that this Spruce tree still had some green branches while the other trees seemed to perish. Then I noticed that there was a variety of different conifers growing side by side. As well as the Spruce, there is a Lodgepole Pine, a Ponderosa Pine, and what I think is a fir tree. Interesting that this area is suitable for all these different types of trees.
I give a lot of attention to the Utah desert. But I love the mountains just as much. Thankful to live amongst such beautiful variety.
