Chamaenerion latifolium along the Heliotrope Ridge Trail (no. 677), Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, WA. Known as "river beauty," "dwarf fireweed," "broad-leaved willowherb," and other common names. Geotagged for the trailhead.
Dwarf lake iris (Iris lacustris) is a Great Lakes endemic species, found along the northern shores of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Canada. The plant itself is only a few inches tall. Though locally it may be found in the tens of thousands, it actually is very rare and vulnerable to disturbance. It is designated Threatened at the Federal level and by the State of Wisconsin, and is the state wildflower of Michigan.
Its habitat includes gravelly, limy areas near the lakes, especially on old beach ridges. It prefers semi-open areas, often associated with white cedars.

The dwarf hamsters represent a group of small hamsters in the genus Phodopus. Although they do not belong to this genus.
Campbell's Russian dwarf hamster (Phodopus campbelli) is a species of dwarf hamster. It was discovered by W.C. Campbell in 1902 in Tuva, an area that has historically been geographically linked with both China and Russia. The Campbell's dwarf is also native to the steppes and semi-arid areas of Central Asia, the Altay mountains, and the provinces of Heilungkiang and Hebei in Northeastern China.
This hamster is sometimes called Djungarian (or Dzungarian), or simply Russian, and often it is mistakenly labeled as a Siberian or Winter white Russian dwarf hamster, a closely related species of dwarf hamster. (See Winter White/Campbell's Dwarf Hybrids below.) In Tuva the species is called Pouched in the Tuvan language, referring to the well-known physical characteristic of most hamsters. There has been some debate over the classification of Campbell's dwarf and its closely related cousin, the Winter White, but now the two species are usually classified as Phodopus campbelli and P. sungorus, respectively. It has been claimed that the Campbell's hamster is less friendly in temperament (to humans) than the winter white and is consequently more likely to bite or nip, though of course temperament varies between different animals.
The ever-changing clouds of Everglades National Park never last long...within minutes these beautiful streaming clouds were gone. I like both the color and B&W version, but decided to post this version as something different for my stream. Looks better viewed large...

Did a mini search on this plant. Turns out that this is actually considered a weed in the USA. In fact this, known as 'mukunuwenna' (mu-ku-nu-wae-n-na) is considered a nutritious food here in Sri Lanka!

nope, he's not from Honey I Shrunk the Kid, nor is he a forest dwelling dwarf... he was just dwarfed by the shrubbery...
This dwarf lionfish was hiding in the fold of a sponge. This makes for a nice background, but it was hard to angle the camera the right way, without frightening the little fish. I really enjoy the texture of the sponge contrasting with the pattern on the dorsal fin of the fish.

This St. Boniface looks appealing with the neat building and the courtyard. Strangely this is a Japanese restaurant. The explanation on the website of the name seems to be rather nonsensical: Dwarf of Hidden Places.
There are a variety of management measures to conserve dwarf seahorses already in place through the Marine Life rules. Because Marine Life species are managed according to their value as live individuals, Marine Life regulations are designed to maximize the chances that collected organisms will survive collection and transport.
Recreational harvesters are required to have a saltwater fishing license to collect Marine Life species and are limited to five of each species per person per day, which is included in the 20-organism per day Marine Life aggregate bag limit. In order to maintain collected organisms in a healthy condition, recreational harvesters are limited to the use of specific gear types designed to maintain the catch in healthy condition. These gear include hand held nets and drop nets, storage bags, and rods to harvest dwarf seahorses. Additionally, all Marine Life organisms must be landed alive.
Harvest of all Marine Life species, including seahorses, is prohibited within Biscayne National Park. Everglades National Park, which includes the majority of Florida Bay, also prohibits all harvest of seahorses from their waters. FWC prohibits harvest of most Marine Life species, including all seahorses, from John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park in the Upper Keys.
In order to contribute to a reduction in harvest of dwarf seahorses, staff are proposing to reduce the recreational bag limit to five total seahorses instead of five of each species of seahorse per person per day, within the 20-organism aggregate bag limit.
The Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher also known as the Black-backed Kingfisher or Three-toed Kingfisher (Ceyx erithaca) is a species of bird in the Alcedinidae family.[3]
This is a small, red and yellow kingfisher, averaging 13 cm (5.1 in) in length, yellow underparts with glowing bluish-black upperparts. This is a widespread resident of lowland forest, endemic across much of Southeast Asia and the Indian Subcontinent. It is found in Bangladesh, Bhutan, Brunei, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam.
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 4-5 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.

Botanical name: Calliandra tergemina var. emarginata (List of synonyms)
- [ (kal-ee-AN-druh) from the Greek kallos (beautiful) and andra (stamen); (e-mar-jin-NAY-tuh) with a notched margin ]

This medium-sized shrub is spectacular when in flower. The blooms are brilliant red and really stand out. The foilage is also attractive with light green kidney shaped leaflets, appearing in pairs. This particular variety grows approximately six to seven feet and is always in bloom. For those interested in bright colours, this is a must.
The flowers open 9 to 10 months out of the year (often resting in midwinter) and remain for 6 to 8 weeks, their unusual form and bold color attracting attention despite the plant's small stature. 1 to 2 inches across, these blooms offer a nice foil to the soft green leaves of this 10 to 14-inch-high tree. Outdoors, the flowers are butterfly magnets, their nectar attracting many winged visitors.

Smoking may be a disgusting habit, but that just makes dwarves like it all the more. In this scene, a dwarf in fantasy attire complete with a horned helmet and fur trimmed boots sits on a rock enjoying a puff from his favorite pipe. The pipe is carved to look like a dragon claw holding a bowl.
