Hello there,

It's Wannabe Warmer Wednesday, so I searched my archives for a bit of bright colour. Sure beats what I see outside of my window this morning which is tons of snow and blowing snow. This January has been unbelievably cold and I do wanna be warmer! WWW!

Thanks a million for taking the time to look and for leaving a comment. Have a bright and beautiful day!

La primera vez que pude ver odonatos este año fue el 3 de marzo, no vi muchos pero ya volaban tres especies. Pocos días después empezaron las lluvias, frio, calima y viento que se prolongaron durante tres o cuatro semanas por lo que el ir en busca de libélulas era imposible. Ahora ya se ven volar en mayor número, la temporada 2022 ya está en marcha en esta zona de levante. En la foto vemos una jovencísima hembra de Sympetrum fonscolombii.

Calendulas are native to southwestern Asia, western Europe, Macaronesia and the Mediterranean.

This is my second image of Calendula, this time wide open. I looked up the name and it came back with this:

What is calendula used for?

The dried petals of the calendula plant are used in tinctures, ointments, and washes to treat burns, bruises, and cuts, as well as the minor infections they cause. Calendula also has been shown to help prevent dermatitis or skin inflammation in people with breast cancer during radiation therapy.

They have a highly audible song for such a small bird. It took several minutes before I could locate him as he sang a few phrases from one place, and then started again in another location. Luckily for me, he flew down to an open perch very close where he sang and raised his crown.

It was a bright overcast backlight situation. I was close enough to get detail though, and I really like the way those red crown feathers were lighted from behind.

If you have never heard its song, Check the link below.

Have a fabulous day.
