Will have to post and more or less run this morning. Last night, I set two alarm clocks (one set very loud), for 5:45 a.m., but I slept right through an hour of very loud music and then woke up nearly five hours later! As a result, I have missed a trip to a great place - one that I don't like going to on my own. Knowing that there will be other people there today, I think I will still go, but not very far into the forest on my own. Hopefully, the others will scare any Bears and Cougars out of the forest and not in my direction! To say that I could kick myself is to put it mildly, ha!
Part of training at my new job. Yes, filed my last unemployment claim last week! Anyhow, I'm working for Games Workshop and one of the things I have to learn is how to paint their wonderfully crafted miniatures. This is my first one, a Dwarf Thunderer. Only took me three hours...I may finish painting my army..say...come April!
Because MGS is relevant again.
Probably the easiest thing I ever did, took me around 10 Minutes.
Has a hole in the bottom fitting a stud/minifig hand, so the gekkos can grab eachother.
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.
Callistemon citrinus 'Little John' is a dwarf cultivar which produces masses of flowers, and which has blue-green foliage. It is a slow grower to only 3 feet tall, 5 feet wide.
This is after pruning most of the dead branches and shortening the foliage to see just what we have with this tree.

Ixobrychus sturmii
The dwarf bittern (Ixobrychus sturmii) is a small species of heron in the family Ardeidae, native to tropical and sub-tropical Africa.
This is a member of the genus Ixobrychus, which contains many of the smallest herons in the world. Going on reported length, from 25 to 30 cm (9.8 to 11.8 in), this is perhaps the smallest species of heron. The weight is similar to other Ixobrychus species, reportedly from 60 to 150 g (2.1 to 5.3 oz), averaging 75–110 g (2.6–3.9 oz).[4] The wingspan reportedly averages 45 to 50 cm (18 to 20 in). The male has a dark slate grey head and neck, with elongated head and neck feathers. The bill is dark overall, being black to dark green on top and yellow on the lower bill. The lores and orbital skin are blue to yellow green and the irises are red brown to dark red. The back, upper wings and other upper parts are dark slate grey. Its throat and upper breast are pale buff, darkening to tawny on the abdomen, heavily streaked black. The legs and feet are green yellow in front and yellow in back. In courtship legs and feet turn bright orange. The female is paler, with a more rufous tinge on its belly and yellow irises. The immature bird is a more buff and pale version than the adult. It is distinguished from the black bittern of Asia by its striped belly, dark neck tufts, shorter, darker bill and much smaller size. It is distinguished from the green and striated herons by its smaller size and slow flight, its pale and heavily streaked underparts, and its uniform (not barred) upper parts.
he dwarf bittern occurs year-round in much of tropical and sub-tropical Africa, with the most southern habitats only visited during the breeding season. It has been reported from Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, Spain, Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
This is a migratory species within Africa, particularly in the north and south. Movements of equatorial birds are less clear. Birds occur in South Africa in the November to April wet season. In the dry season, birds from both north and south the migrate toward the equator (Brown et al. 1982). The species does wander outside its usual range, including further into South Africa (Ingram 1998), the Canary Islands, and France.
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 (Tarboton 1980, Hustler and Williamson 1985). 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[clarification needed] has been described (Riddell 1987). 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.

These dwarfs (nice little people) live inside a large Green Turtle in Lancing.
Once a year, the turtle goes on a trip to Shoreham as part of the Adur Festival.
(PS: Horrid little people are called Goblins or Urgghs!)
These dwarf miners were carved out of rock salt.
The “Wieliczka” Salt Mine, just south of Krakow, dates from the 13th Century and produced salt until 2007; it was the world's oldest continuously operating salt mine.
Today, visitors come to admire the salt works of art that miners have created out of the rock salt. There are numerous statues and four chapels. This is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This is first boxpleating model I've folded.
Folding to base: Easy
Modeling: Intermediate or advanced :P
Didn't make the moustache because I think it looks better without it :)
Hope you like it.
Btw on some pictures you can noticed I used tons of glue(like I was painting with glue) for modeling...

The little known dwarf minke whale was only discovered in Great Barrier Reef (GBR) waters during the 1980s, and research into its biology and ecology has only recently begun.
During the 1990s, live-aboard dive tour operators in the Cairns section of the GBR began reporting in-water interactions with these whales along the Ribbon Reefs during the winter months.
Much remains unknown about these whales including population and migration patterns. We have no idea where are those whales out of those 2-3 winter months.
The Minke Whale Project fund has been set up by James Cook University to support research into dwarf minke whale biology, behaviour and sustainable wildlife tourism interactions. Donations can be made at www.minkewhaleproject.org/
Dwarf Yaupon Holly is a small evergreen shrub. It can grow in full sun to shade and will grow to about 3 feet tall and wide. Its growth is very compact and will stay in a nice shape without pruning. This plant makes a nice hedge along the foundation of a house or anywhere a short hedge is needed.
Flowers are like redheads, every time I think I'm done another one entices me and before I know it I'm getting my camera out again.
Several years ago I planted daffodils (Narcissus) in my front yard and I love them cause when they bloom I know spring is right around the corner, they bloom before anything else. So a couple of weeks ago they were all in their glory and looking like yellow awesomeness. But the blooms don't last long and now they are shriveled up and looking sad. BUT!..I got home yesterday and notice an odd bit of yellow in a spot where there really shouldn't be and when I took a closer look I found it to be a dwarf daffodil growing under my crepe myrtle among all the garlic that is planted there. I've never seen a daffodil so small and I'm totally baffled as to how this thing came about. Now I have to be really careful when I pick my garlic (I use the shoots like green onions and of course the bulbs) cause daffodil is poisonous. That would suck!
Mid 70's here today, yeah baby! Way too nice to be working inside...

view L to see the inset shot...gives you a good idea just how small this little flower is.
Dwarf lupine looks very similar to it's lower elevation relatives- just much smaller! Due to the extreme conditions it grows in, this flower is never able to grow as large as other varieties. This example was photographed on Second Burroughs Mountain trail, August 31, 2014. NPS Photo
