Los enanos montañeces son el ultimo bastion de razon y justicia que queda y haran lo imposible por llevar su justicia al resto de los pueblos del mundo.
The Zwerglgarten, or “Dwarf Garden,” in Salzburg, Austria was created in 1715 by Prince Archbishop Franz Anton Harrach. Many of these creepy dwarf statues were modeled after dwarves who lived in the court and served as entertainers to the archbishop. The rest were inspired by peasants and foreigners.
-First time capturing this on the trail - very small plant and can be easily missed.
-Like this link and some big words and need to read more on this:

As their name suggests, Dwarf Mongoose are the smallest mongoose species found throughout Africa. With speckled reddish-brown fur, a short nose and long fluffy tail they are known for their inquisitive nature. Dwarf Mongooses usually live in groups of 12-15 individuals with a dominant male and female leading the pack.
FUN FACT: Only the dominant pair are allowed to breed, on average having three litters a year, with two to four babies each time.

My wife and had the great pleasure of running into a couple Flickr friends today, Chuckles and swt snookie! Please check out their photostreams, really nice images by very cool people! I'm sure we'll meet again "in the field"!

A cheeky dwarf with a funny cap. Not good paper choice.

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.

My dwarf beans are sprouting nicely. You can also see my chili plant which desparately needs a bigger pot!
During our bulb planting frenzy last fall, in my zeal to till and prep the ground, I dug up a whole bed of irises that Kristina had already planted.
So dumb.
She'd planted reticulata and I found a package of histrioides george to replace them. I think these are the ones I planted, I hope some of the original ones come up too.

The DNR had a trail camera pointed at this one. Just off the trail down by the main waterfall. Saw maybe 5 of these, not many, very rare. Overheard that they can only be found in two counties in Minnesota and thats it. They look the same as the normal Trout Lily but are only like 1/5 the size...At Nerstrand Big Woods State Park, MN.
