Wikipedia: The oriental dwarf kingfisher (Ceyx erithaca), also known as the black-backed kingfisher or three-toed kingfisher, is a pocket-sized bird in the family Alcedinidae. This tropical kingfisher is a partial migrant that is endemic across much of the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It resides in lowland forests, typically near streams or ponds, where it feeds upon insects, spiders, worms, crabs, fish, frogs, and lizards. This small bird is easily distinguishable from other birds in its range due to its red bill, yellow-orange underparts, lilac-rufous upperparts, and blue-black back.
The oriental dwarf kingfisher is a forest and wetland-dwelling species that is endemic across much of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Populations have been found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Vietnam.

Dwarf mistletoes are small parasitic plants that require a living host to survive. In this case the host is Douglas Fir.
This is a trillium species. It's native range is not in my area but I luckily live near Cornell Botanical Gardens and they had a few growing there.
I hope everyone enjoys this image! :D
I received a parcel at the end of last year, a box full of bulbs, I don't know where they came from but as no one has claimed them I decided to plant them in. There are these lovely dwarf Irises, purple crocus and one more that hasn't come out yet.

Pennisetum alopecuroides (Chinese Pennisetum, dwarf fountain grass, foxtail fountain grass, swamp foxtail grass) is a species of perennial grass native to Asia and Australia.
Fountain Grass is one of the most popular grasses. The 'Hameln' selection forms an upright mound of arching green leaves, bearing bottlebrush spikes of silvery-white flowers that turn to buff or tan as they dry.
'Hameln' refers to the German town of Hamelin, most famous for the folk tale of the Pied Piper.
Pennisetum Alopecuroides (lampenpoetsersgras) komt van nature voor in Azië en Austalië. Het is een bolgroeiend siergras.
De cultivar 'Hameln' bloeit zeer rijk met bloeiaren die bestaan uit prachtige lichtbruine borstels welke boven de bladeren uitsteken. Bloeitijd is van juli t/m september, de pluimen blijven tot aan het eind van de winter zitten en worden steeds meer zilvergrijs van kleur.
'Hameln', want deze soort werd gekweekt in de Duitse plaats Hamelen, bij een ieder bekend door het sprookje/volksverhaal van Grimm over de rattenvanger.
I noticed a couple coming toward me as I started on a hike in Great Basin National Park. It struck me how tiny the people were in comparison to the towering Wheeler Peak. The grandeur that nature gives us is overwhelming and reminds us of our place on the planet!
Great Basin National Park is located in eastern Nevada close to the Utah border. The park includes most of the South Snake mountains.
