The dwarf wedgemussel is a relatively small mussel, rarely exceeding 45 mm in length. The smooth shell is a mixture of yellow, olive, and brown. It can be hard to differentiate this species from others, but one defining characteristic is its teeth. This mussel has two lateral teeth on the right side and only one on the left, which is the exact opposite from all other mussels with lateral teeth. The dwarf wedgemussel is a filter feeder, which makes them extremely susceptible to substrate disturbances. With a historic range of 70 locations, this mussel now only inhabits roughly 20, the largest populations occurring in the Connecticut River.
Degradation of water quality in the form of floods and pollutants are the main threat to populations of this species, since they are filter feeders. Agricultural run-off has been identified as a significant threat to dwarf wedgemussel populations in Massachusetts. In 2001, more than 25 dwarf wedgemussels and hundreds of other mussels (including state-listed species) were killed in the Mill River, Massachusetts, by waste run-off from a small farm. 70% of mussels in New England are notwextinct or endangered on account of logging, river impoundments, agricultural run-off, shoreline development, silt density and other disturbances have largely eliminated the clean, swift-flowing currents that freshwater mussels rely on. This is such an immense problem, that a solution is difficult to envision. The northeast region of the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service has put together a dwarf wedgemussel recovery plan. This plan focuses on habitat conservation and reintroduction of the species to parts of its historic range. There is also a large effort to develop an education program which informs the public about a potential loss of species.

Gallery 224 at the Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard is pleased to present an exhibition of work from Montana-based potter Julia Galloway's most recent body of work, The Endangered Species Project: New England. Galloway works from each state's official list of species identified as endangered, threatened or extinct. She has created a series of covered jars, one urn for each species, illustrating the smallest Agassiz Clam Shrimp to the largest Eastern Elk.

This is an asymmetrical (but only slightly) dwarf that I designed. It came about as a result of me trying to make, well, a guy with a sword and shield actually. Which is good. Normally I fold around a bit until I get an idea to do something with a base, instead of deciding on something to do and then folding it.
From a frog base. 25cm square.

It’s one of the closest galaxies to Earth, but the Carina Dwarf Galaxy is so dim and diffuse that astronomers only discovered it in the 1970s. A companion galaxy of the Milky Way, this ball of stars shares features with both globular star clusters and much larger galaxies. Astronomers believe that dwarf spheroidal galaxies like the Carina Dwarf are very common in the Universe, but they are extremely difficult to observe. Their faintness and low star density mean that it is easy to simply see right through them. In this image, the Carina Dwarf appears as many faint stars scattered across most of the central part of the picture. It is hard to tell apart stars from the dwarf galaxy, foreground stars within the Milky Way and even faraway galaxies that poke through the gaps: the Carina Dwarf is a master of cosmic camouflage. The Carina Dwarf’s stars show an unusual spread of ages. They appear to have formed in a series of bursts, with quiet periods lasting several billion years in between them. It lies around 300 000 light-years from Earth, which places it further away than the Magellanic Clouds (the nearest galaxies to the Milky Way), but significantly closer to us than the Andromeda Galaxy, the closest spiral galaxy. So, despite being small for a galaxy, its proximity to Earth means that the Carina Dwarf appears quite large in the sky, just under half the size of the full Moon — albeit very much fainter. This makes it fit comfortably within the field of view of ESO’s Wide Field Imager, an instrument designed for making observations of large parts of the sky. Although this image in itself is not so striking, it is likely the best image of the Carina Dwarf Galaxy to date. The image was made using observations from the Wide Field Imager on the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at La Silla, and from the Victor M. Blanco 4-metre telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory.

This image is definately not my usual style. The point was to show how the mountain dwarfed the horses below and give some idea of the terrain in the area.

Lots of flowers, some fruit starting to form.
These heirloom tomatoes will only grow to be 6 inches tall!
On the left - three Andrina tomatoes. Description from Heritage Harvest :
"Andrina - This heirloom cherry tomato originated in Russia and is one of the earliest tomatoes there is. The plants are extremely dwarf reaching 6” high and produce good yields of tasty cherry sized fruit. Great for containers! Determinate."
On the right, one Andrina and one Hahms Gelbe, Description from Heritage Harvest :
"Hahms Gelbe - A wonderful little cherry tomato from Germany with delicious yellow fruit. The small plants grow to about 6” high, about the same size as Andrina, which is a red cherry. The two make an excellent combination in containers and you can then enjoy red and yellow cherries all summer long. Determinate."

I'm always amazed by the variability of this species. These were all within 100 feet of each other in Richmond County, NC.
