This outstanding 355 page book by prominent Botanist/Ecologist Lui Weber was first published by Amazon Books Australia in 2021 and is a 'must have' for plant and especially Australian rainforest plant enthusiasts.

Many species in this book were photographed for the first time, often in very inaccessible locations only reachable by long treks into wilderness, by drone or by abseiling down precipitous cliffs.

Luis showed me a first draft in around 2011 and since then no amount of effort has been spared to produce the excellent and informative descriptions and images that grace this book.

As well as hard copy the book can also be purchased as an E Book.

 

Apart from regular ID assistance to amateur plant enthusiasts via various plant groups on Facebook Lui Weber has been a significant contributor over many years to the Flickr Group -

One of my absolute favorite birds is the Osprey. They are industrious, hard working birds. Unlike the eagle, that would rather steal a meal rather than catch it on its own, Osprey spend their time fishing. They are excellent anglers, having successful catch rates of up to 70%. Their toes are unique amongst birds, in that their outer toe is reversible. This allows them to grasp prey with two toes behind and two in the front, unlike the usual one behind and three in the front, of most other raptors. The pads on their feet are equipped with small barbs that make handling slippery fish easier. I look forward to their return to New Jersey in spring, and visiting them when I can in Florida, during the winter. #iLoveNature #iLoveWildife #WildlifePhotography in #NewJersey #Nature in #America #USA #Osprey #DrDADBooks #AreYouAFish #Canon #Bringit #Photography #Picoftheday #Photooftheday

“Have You Ever Tried To Enter The Long Black Branches,” from “West Wind” —Mary Oliver, 1997

Bubble wrap envelopes are not recyclable plus they are manufactured and you have to buy them, so I have created a template with which to make mailers from cereal boxes. I have tested it by sending a book to myself and then to others who reported back. The secret is in the way I do the corners. Corners are very vulnerable with books. This way the corner of the mailer takes the brunt of it. My shipment from Singapore contained a number of damaged books though carefully packed 50 to a box.

 

I am confident enough to use my mailer to send the first copy of DIMP (as the book team calls it) to Amazon. Amazon is very picky about book condition and will mail it back if not in perfect condition at your expense. I'm glad they keep their standards high and this will be a good test of the mailer. They only wanted one to start with. I have been raiding my neighbors' recycling bins for the boxes. This is apparently a crime with fines from $20 to $500, but that may just be in Oakland where the poor are trying to make a living.

 

It takes five minutes a piece to cut and score each mailer. Then there's the packing. I staple the ends together and tape them. This takes time, but not as much as the time it takes to think about each person I send it to and the past that comes with them, some from childhood, high school, some from another country. Then there's the inscription if they ask for one. I try to distill an entire relationship into one line. Some of the recipients I visit in person, spend a couple of hours with. Thus the whole book distribution process slows time way down as though I am moving through another gravity, another dimension altogether. Have sold 40 books this way so far.

While mom is home alone tending to the nest built primarily by her mate, another osprey attempts to drop by. The visit is not welcome, and she manages to fend off the unwanted arrival. These osprey chose a bare dead tree on the edge of a parking lot in Flamingo as their nest for 2015. They are smarter than they seem. They realize that they can tolerate the proximity to humans better than a lot of other predatory birds. It provides them, and their offspring, with a modicum of safety that other osprey, nesting farther away, may not enjoy. Another couple has chosen a nest on a walking bridge tower, not 10 feet from where human activity is frequent. That nest is busy each and every year I visit Flamingo. Smart birds! #iLoveNature #iLoveBirds #iLoveWildlife #WildlifePhotography in #Flamingo #EvergladesNationalPark #Nature in #Florida #America #USA #Canon #DrDADBooks #AreYouAFish #Bringit #Photography #Picoftheday #Photooftheday

Kayaking some of the New Jersey intercoastal waterways over the last few weeks has given me the opportunity to see some of our migrating shorebirds with a different perspective. It has also given some of our birds the opportunity to see me in a different perspective, too. Most seem indifferent, a few remain as wary as they always are, but several, including nesting osprey, seem to be much more wary than they would be had I approached them on land. Most of the nesting osprey, near enough to the waterways, will take to the air to check me out. A few have seemed downright annoyed, as in this photo. And on one occasion I thought I might actually come under attack. It the birds become excited I do my best to get by them as quickly and quietly as possible. Osprey survive on a diet of fish, and are the only North American Raptor able to dive into water to catch fish and then fly away. Though I think this bird might like to eat me, I don't think it was looking at me adoringly, at all! #iLoveBirds #iLoveNature #iloveWildlife #WildlifePhotography in #NewJersey #Nature in #NorthAmerica #DrDADBooks #AreYouAFish #Osprey #Canon #WildlifePhotography

An Osprey flies over its nest near Cape May, New Jersey. Thanks to extensive conservation efforts and abandonment of the use of certain pesticides, these (and many other) beautiful birds are returning in increasing numbers across our country. Eagles were far from the only birds affected by the widespread use of DDT. Osprey are beautifully talented, hard working birds. Unlike eagles, most of what they eat they catch themselves. They are also able to dive, completely submerge, and then escape the water with prey in talons and fly away. I have yet to meet an osprey that I don't like! #ILoveWildlife #ILoveBirds #birds #birding #Osprey #WildlifePhotography in #NewJersey

This rattle teether is based upon the unforgettable character in Eric Carle’s classic “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”. It is a sure way to bring the tale to life and a smile to your child’s face. There are multiple textures to touch, crinkle and jingle sounds, and a teether...

One of my favorite raptors glares at me from the nest, though I doubt it does so with any adoration. Osprey are fairly protective of their nests. Without seeing both birds in a mated pair it can be difficult to distinguish between male and female. When they are both present, the female is generally larger, and the brownish "necklace" across her white chest is generally darker and more pronounced than in the male. There is a good deal of crossover, so identifying the sex of any single bird can be difficult. That being said, males are generally the first to arrive at nesting sites. They will begin their nest building before the female arrives, trying to make sure they've created a happy place to please their mate. Men better start to worry that women don't find out about this or we might all be in big trouble! #iloveNature #iLoveWildlife #iLoveBirds #WildlifePhotography in #NewJersey #Nature in #NorthAmerica #America #USA #DrDADBooks #ChildrensBooks #AreYouAFish #FindYourPark #FYPyes #Opresy #ThompsonBeach

 

Our local Barnes & Noble is carrying all of my books!

 

As the effects of DDT slowly leaches out of the environment, the population of birds like the Osprey and Eagle slowly rebound. Osprey have, once again, become a common sight on and along shorelines. This will inevitably bring these big birds in close proximity to humans. That being said, this male did not like my proximity to its nest on land or in the water. Although it never actually attacked me, I wondered if he might night try on several passes by. I kept a close eye on him and tried to keep my distance from the nest. There was no way of misinterpreting his intent gaze. I'm certain that he is frowning. If I were an osprey, I guess I would, too. #iLoveNature #iLoveWildlife #WildlifePhotography in #NewJersey #Nature in #NorthAmerica #USA #DrDADBooks #AreYouAFish #Canon #WildlifeConservation

Raptors were busy yesterday in Holgate, though not all of them provided photo opportunities. This Osprey with black sea bass in tow was about the best photo op of the afternoon. Northern Harriers were busy over brush, and a peregrine flew off into the sun after hunting on the island. Black skimmers have migrated and were nowhere to be seen. Piping and semipalmated plovers were still busy at the shoreline and napping in tire tracks that cross the beach, and a variety of sandpipers still gathered in small flocks. A pair of oystercatchers preferred the distant mudflats to the beach. Great white egrets hung by the water's edge of the back bay. Summer has given way to autumn. Harsh winter winds will soon arrogantly force their way in, changing the landscape and forcing many species to trek southward. Nature blurs the lines between seasons but the story of life leads onward if you keep reading. Get out an enjoy your weekend and listen for secrets that nature wants to whisper in your ear. #ILoveNature #ILoveWildlife #Wildlife in #NewJersey #Nature on #LBI #LongBeachIsland #EdwinForsytheNWR #WildlifePhotography #Picoftheday #Photooftheday
