Geranium is a genus of 422 species of flowering annual, biennial, and perennial plants that are commonly known as the cranesbills. They are found throughout the temperate regions of the world and the mountains of the tropics, but mostly in the eastern part of the Mediterranean region. The long, palmately cleft leaves are broadly circular in form. The flowers have five petals and are coloured white, pink, purple or blue, often with distinctive veining. Geraniums will grow in any soil as long as it is not waterlogged. Propagation is by semiripe cuttings in summer, by seed, or by division in autumn or spring. Confusingly, geranium is also the common name of members of the genus Pelargonium, which are also in the Geraniaceae family and are widely grown as horticultural bedding plants. The shape of the flowers offers one way of distinguishing between the two genera Geranium and Pelargonium. Geranium flowers have five very similar petals, and are thus radially symmetrical (actinomorphic), whereas Pelargonium (and also Erodium) flowers have two upper petals which are different from the three lower petals, so the flowers have a single plane of symmetry. 32157

The Little (Anthochaera chrysoptera), also known as the brush wattlebird, is a passerine bird in the honeyeater family Meliphagidae and is the smallest of the wattlebirds.
Easily distinguished from Red Wattlebird by the lack of pink wattles below the eye, they are found in southeastern Australia. It is typically very active and vocal with a rough, loud, squawking call.
I grow flowering natives close to my back door to attract honeyeaters. There I can sit with my camera and wait to get the photos I want. Three species of honeyeaters visit my yard when the the bushes are in bloom.
Jökulsárlón beach, an endless source of fascination for me. I think I could stay there eternally, watching, listening and contemplating.
The area around Crested Butte is famous for wildflowers in summer and colors of aspen and cottonwoods in fall.
The juxtaposition of brilliant colors appears almost every fall. The reds always catch my attention, but this year I noticed that as the red foliage fades, it seems to turn maroon and then to tan or brown. I am not sure that that happens every year.
