I´m back. Finally I managed my lack of creativity an will start up fresh and full of inspiration. So here comes my new generation dwarf. I´m a bit proud that i made to sculpt the beard and hair in a quite accetable way. please do not pay too much attention to the arms! I know that i have to practise more on sculpting them. Anyway I´ve tried to capture a compact and bulky look as fantasy dwarves naturally are. Best Regards and hope you like it! ;)

FORAGING
Dwarf Bitterns feed solitarily or in pairs, hunting by night and ,especially if it is cloudy, by day. This it does silently and unobtrusively by Standing and by Walking Slowly. This daily schedule overlaps availability of frogs. Dwarf Bitterns sometimes prefer to sneak through vegetation and reeds rather than climb or perch on them. When disturbed they stay put at the water’s edge in an exaggerated version of the Bittern posture or it often fly up into trees moving only short distances. It is likely that individuals defend feeding territory, and its use of a Forward display has been described.
Insects, such as grasshoppers and water bugs, spiders, small fish, crabs, snails and frogs form the main items of the diet. Local populations specialize in grasshoppers and frogs, and can take advantage of seasonal prey availability such as frogs in fishless seasonal pans

It didn't seem so long ago that the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in downtown LA was THE striking feature in downtown. Now it seems to be dwarfed by the surrounding buildings.

These Dwarf Bearded Iris opened today for the first time and these are all new for us this year. Got them from Stout Gardens, who were very good to deal with.

The Oriental dwarf kingfisher (Ceyx erithaca), also known as the black-backed kingfisher or three-toed kingfisher, is a species of bird in the family Alcedinidae.
This is a small, red and yellow kingfisher, averaging 13 cm (5.1 in) in length, yellow underparts with glowing bluish-black upperparts. A widespread resident of lowland forest, it is endemic across much of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Sri Lanka, and Thailand.
The preferred habitat is small streams in densely shaded forests.In the Konkan region of southwest India, it begins to breed with the onset of the southwest monsoon in June. The nest is a horizontal tunnel up to a metre in length. The clutch of four or five eggs hatches in 17 days with both the male and female incubating. The birds fledge after 20 days and a second brood may be raised if the first fails. The young are fed with geckos, skinks, crabs, snails, frogs, crickets, and dragonflies. The rufous-backed kingfisher is sometimes considered a subspecies.
One of two images of somewhat unusual wildflowers. Seen on the Albany Pine Bush Great Dune trail in Guilderland, New York, USA on May 17, 2025. This is a Dwarf Dandelion--my first time seeing one! The plant is tiny! It is a native plant. www.maine.gov/DACF/mnap/features/krivir.htm
Another of the cute reptiles seen at West Coast National Park - this time a Dwarf Chameleon that the driver (my sister) did an excellent job of spotting and avoiding. As he was reluctant to move after his photo shoot, I picked him and popped him into the bushes before a less observant driver squished him.

The woods are alive with wild flowers some of which are lit by rays of light sneaking between the trees. This dwarf Dogwood, or Bunchberry flower looked gorgeous in the forest light.

MRL 132 works the 1700 refinery job and is about to disappear deep into to recover its cars before it can start spotting its cars from Laurel Yard. The 132 is dwarfed by the plant, though not a massive plant it still makes the trains look small.
