...because you always hear about the perv guys that snap photos up women's skirts, I decided to snap one up a kilt as a joke. - I brought up the photo on the camera and promptly busted up. Fur pants under the kilt. Only at a northwest decompression. ;o) heh heh
Because of the severity of my injuries, I wasn't expected to survive.
The police handled my accident scene as if there was a fatality involved.
Photo from the Ansonia Police investigation file.
A statistician took a standard deviation from his normal way home because the mean of the population was after him.
My soil was sandy loam, because it formed a ball when squeezed and stayed in that shape when bounced, but ribbons could not be formed out of it at all.
This soil type both absorbs and retains water very well, which I also noticed by the massive pond forming due to all of the recent rain. This means that water tends to stay within the soil unless it is a part of a stream or river, meaning that the nutrients are only leeched along moving bodies of water; the ponds that form do not flow anywhere, leaving the nutrients where they were picked up.
Normal forest animals and river creautres, like squirrels, chipmunks, ducks and frogs, among many others, live in this area. There is also honeysuckle and prairie grasses, along with a lot of trees.
I think that most of the organisms I listed do not affect the soil too much, except for the trees helping hold the soil together more than it otherwise would. Overall, however, I do not think the animals change the soil too much from sandy loam but help it maintain that status.
My soil is not likely to erode, because it holds itself together very well (it was hard using my hands to pull of a sample even though it was wet) and since it absorbs and retains water so well only flowing water would really affect it, which only occurs by the river. Loss of this soil would radically change the plant life (and consequently the animals living there) because they rely on the sandy loam to support them without too much leeching of nutrients and the proper amount of water. This soil would erode into the nearby river, which would not affect the river too much because the soil there is pretty much like the soil in the environment.
It is important for an ecologist to think about the soil texture because it affects so many things within an environment. As shown, soil has a major affect on how water flows through an environment, and where, what kind, and how much nutrients are there for organisms to use. The soil also plays a major role in what kind of plants and burrowing creatures live there. Since the soil determines the possible biome an environment can sustain, it is effectively the "base" (no pun intended) for the biome itself.
Because of its small size and short life span, the adult male is very unlikely to be seen in the field unless it is captured in pheromone traps; even then it is difficult to distinguish without the aid of a microscope.

Because I'm listening to the Rolling Stones right now...

#Because of the #storms going through the #bayArea and continue to do so , #wind and #rain has #caused #damage all around the #lake
Free sandbags to any takers , hopefully you didn’t get much water 💦 in your home 🏠
Because the seaweed.
Stranded kelp in Arthur River. The B&W version narrowly wins out over the coloured one.

Somebody sent me an e-mail the other day asking me if I've become a "slacker" as I don't seem to bird as often anymore. Well, I've always been a "slacker", but that's got nothing to do with it. To be honest, I'm kind of sick of the stupidity and small-minded ego driven bullshit that seems to go hand in hand with birding. That doesn't mean that I've stopped birding, but rather that I no longer participate as much in the public aspects of birding. I'm still out there. I just don't discuss it publicly as much as I used to.
The other thing is, the last couple of years I have spent months at a time away from home working. So when I'm home, I'd rather spend time with my family than discuss whether or not John Q's most recent sightings are bogus or not. As a matter of fact, I'd rather drink bleach and vote republican than have that discussion again, but that's beside the point........
Because you are all unique and wonderful people my dear Flickr friends! ox
It's the Little Things #328
Because NICTD can't own property in Illinois, Metra actually owns this South Shore Line's parking lot. I think it also gets all the revenues the parking lot generates. This isn't nearly as unfair as it sounds - after all, Metra does help fund the South Shore Line, so at least some of those revenues go back to NICTD.
In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter--bitter," he answered;
"But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart."
- Stephen Crane
we found this lying on the beach and it made me think of this stephen crane poem.
Because the cable guy was coming so early the next day, we came back to the house after the opera to sleep. Just a note: air mattress + hardwood floors + pushed against the wall = squeaks EVERY TIME someone moves.

A very pretentious self portrait.

Because of the clouds, the harvest moon didn't appear over the skyline like it should've. So I put my own moon there... a HUGE one at that! hahaha.
Taken last night while I was hanging with the girls.
Gabrielle was awake quite a bit, and I hadn't uploaded any of her lately, so....
Taken with the Nikkor 50mm/1.4 AI
Because nobody ever looks at balloon pictures unless something weird is going on which it wasn't really here. It was just my pitiful attempt to con you out of a view and maybe even a comment but that's okay if you don't want to play my silly little game. The raffle prize was a doozy, though. Man, you would have loved that!
