While out gathering green beans for tonight's vegetable soup, Joyce spotted this young iguana perched on top of one of the stalks. His right hind leg rests on a bean.
The bright red tongue contrasting on the green head reminded us of watermelon.

I remember seeing my first Bean Geese in Northumberland back in the 1980s and thinking they looked similar to Pink-footed Geese, but with orange legs and dark bills with a bit of orange. But when I saw the flock of wintering Bean Geese in the Yare Valley in Norfolk they looked like a completely different species; They were larger with elongated largely orange bills and slender necks. Well the IOC (International Ornithological Congress) has officially split Bean Goose into two species; Taiga Bean Goose (Anser fabalis) and Tundra Bean Goose (Anser serrirostris). And the BOU (British Ornithologists' Union) follows suit on the official British List. So my early perception of two different species proved to be right.
About 300 Taiga Bean Geese regularly winter in just two areas in Britain; the Yare Valley in Norfolk and the Slammanan Plateau near Falkirk. They are pretty rare away from these areas. The Tundra Bean Goose winters throughout Britain but mainly in the south and east, and generally in small numbers, usually among flocks of other geese.
Taiga Bean Geese have three subspecies that breed across the wooded taiga zone of Europe and Asia (fabalis in Scandinavia, johanseni Urals to Lake Baikal, and middendorffii east of Lake Baikal). Tundra Bean Goose breeds further north and further to the east across a similar area and has two subspecies (rossicus in west Siberia and serrirostris in east Siberia). In Europe, the majority of Taiga Bean Geese winter in the Low Countries, with just the two regular sites in Britain. Tundra Bean Geese (subspecies rossicus) have a much more scattered wintering range in Europe, including Iberia, France, Italy, the Balkans, and also the Low Countries and Germany.
I photographed this individual Tundra Bean Goose in West Yorkshire's Aire Valley where it is hanging around with a small flock of Pink-footed Geese. Both species of Bean Geese are generally the rarest of Britain's overwintering geese totaling just a few hundred between them, compared to many thousands of the other species. This shot shows that this one is unringed and full-winged, reducing doubt about its origins that often hangs over our rarer wildfowl. I have other more standard shots of it that I may upload soon.

The squash and beans are going to cover the top of the hoop house before long.

I continue my Panning technique training with Mister Bean.Not easy at all but with many try ,some photographies are not so bad...
The iconic Chicago Bean in Millennium Park. Although it's called Cloud Gate, most people go by the Bean, because of its shape. Millennium Park was probably my favourite attraction in Chicago.
Today's lunch was a medley of beans - cannelini, borlotti, haricots, black, green lentils, chick peas. And a good quantity of tomato - crushed, puree, whatever I could find.
Soften some onions, add garlic, lots of paprika, salt and pepper. Bring up to a simmer for a while and allow to reduce. Add a heap of grated mozzarella and sharp cheddar; stir well.
Taste ... a bit flat. So a couple of dollops of sriracha to lift but not over-power.
Job done for less than a pound per person.
Beverly was taking photos of this nice fellow sporting her fashion when we met. I'm pretty sure he said his name was Bean...
Cloud Gate is a public sculpture by Indian-born British artist Anish Kapoor, that is the centerpiece of Grainger Plaza at Millennium Park in the Loop community area of Chicago. Constructed between 2004 and 2006, the sculpture is nicknamed "The Bean" because of its shape, a name Kapoor later grew fond of.
Yes, I made this soup while simultaneously conducting banking, taxes and scheduling medical appointments.
Beans!! I love beans <3
These expired a couple of months ago, and I always felt funny about beans having an expiration date.
I looked it up, and apparently its no biggie. I hope they're delicious! I might make flautas :)
Update: They are DELICIOUS!

This is my second entry for the group" Macro Mondays"and the theme was "I fooled you!"Hope you enjoy!
Mr. Bean came on the scene in the 1990s and quickly became a world wide phenomenon, his popularity due to the reliance on visual slapstick.
There are those that like or hate the character portrayed by British comic Rowan Atkinson. In my case, I don't mind him at all, but I much prefer Atkinson's other series Blackadder, which I consider one of the best comic series ever, and The Thin Blue Line. I also loved the Johnny English movies, Atkinson's take on a bumbling James Bond wannabe spy.
We're Here looks at Beans today, in this case Mr. Bean.
We landed in Chicago at 4:30 am. Already running late for this shot. Grabbed the rental car and headed from O'Hare to Millennium Park. Couldn't figure out parking, so Roger dropped me off so I could at least get the Cloud Gate with no people. As soon as I walked another 30 feet, there was another photographer, finishing the huge city view. Since he was shooting the underside of the bean, I got a few of the shots I wanted, complete with this other guy in the middle. Am going to try and remove him...damn!!
Will be catching up with everyone as soon as I can.

Baby runner beans or pole beans depending on where you live. This was taken a couple of weeks ago so these ones are probably ready to pick by now, they grow up so quickly :-)

[Kind of dark and depressing, but that's how I started feeling tonight. Doing this picture actually helped. Which is pretty cool beans, because I hate being in shitty moods. But, I guess everyone does. I might delete this later... I dunno.]

In the foreground, pinto beans (Phaseolus vulgaris). In the background, coffee (Coffea arabica). Beans for every taste.
Inspired by my friend Di Northey who has one of the best eyes for a good picture in all sorts of places I wouldn't look! www.flickr.com/photos/dimarg/ - These are bean flowers -am amazed I would find so much detail in my vegie patch!
