Masai Mara (MNC), Kenya
Although I've seen these before I've never managed to photograph one; only the banded and bushy-tailed varieties.
I’m going to have to cut my Dwarf witch alder way back after blooming season to see if it will produce far more flowers than it has in recent years. But at least there are several now, including this one. Doesn't it look like it belongs in a coral reef?

This is one of nine species of Dwarf Willowherb (genus Epilobium) found in the Canadian Rockies. They are difficult to separate, but nonetheless enjoyable to discover in moist situations. This plant was growing near the shore of Lake O’Hara, Yoho National Park, British Columbia.

Dverghamrar (Dwarf Cliff) are peculiar and beautiful formations of columnar basalt. The landscape is thought to have been moulded at the end of the Ice Age. The sea level was higher at that time and it is believed that the waves caused the peculiar look of the rocks.

From Africa's largest land mammal to one of the smallest - the endearing and inquisitive Dwarf Mongoose [Helogale parvula], a species that is always active and running around until there's something unusual that has to be checked out!
Mongeese or Mongooses (take your pick) are carnivores in the suborder Feliformia and, as such, are more closely related to cats rather dogs as are civets and gannets and, perhaps surprisingly, hyaenas!
'Life in an Alpine Meadow'
An eclectic collection of macro and close-up images from our recent trip to the Western Tyrol region of Austria, where I was able to spend time photographing subjects that I would normally ignore and experimenting with different techniques that I haven't tried at home. Rather than letting these photos 'gather dust' on a hard-drive, I thought I'd make a Flickr album as a useful reminder for when we return next year.

Dwarf Snowbell [Soldanella pusilla]
I wanted to isolate this tiny delicate plant from the surrounding vegetation, which mean't putting the camera on the ground and focusing through the grass using the LCD screen. It gave me the ethereal look I envisaged, which I appreciate won't be to everybody's taste!
After looking closer at reference pictures, I modified my previous attempt at the droid. As you can see, parts of the design have remained the same, but the slight improvements, I belief, make this model appear better.
I was struck by the way the beachcombers are completely dwarfed by St. Paul's and the riverside buildings!
Endemic to Sulawesi, this unmistakable forest kingfisher is a kaleidoscope of colour. It sports a large carrot-orange bill, a scaled blue crown, purplish cheeks, a white throat with a neck slash, vivid orange underparts, a purple-tinged rufous-brown back, and a striking bright blue rump and tail. Juveniles are duller, with a pale-tipped black bill. It’s a discreet resident of the lowland forest understory and truly one-of-a-kind within its range.
This is my entry for the “dwarf tales” category.
After a big adventure, these three dwarfs finally found their beloved gold. They are taking it with them since with a good moot since they love gold!!

Dwarfed by one of the vast cooling towers at Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station, 69007 approaches East Midlands Parkway with a short load 6L15, the 17.54 Toton - Whitemoor engineers on Tue 5th September 2023.
However, this formidable-looking goat is a dwarf 😋
about 60cm (!!) tall.
Like all dwarf mammals, he has not only a small body but also quite short limbs for his body size.
So, in spite of (or maybe because of) his striking head, "The Boss" (when seen in his entirety) just looks cute. So, the photo is a good example of the effects that framing and point of view have on the "truth* of an image.
He is currently the boss of a very amusing herd of dwarf goats. It consists of some females, a couple of younger billygoats, and quite a bunch of hyperactive, newly-born kids.
Whenever the impulse strikes, the kids put on a great, entertaining show of running, jumping, climbing and generally acting silly; just like a...bunch of kids. They are terribly hard to photograph. It is best to give up and make videos.
FWIW - There is nothing small about the smell of these dwarfs. To me, they have the same striking, strong odor as regular goats.

The Fornax Dwarf Spheroidal galaxy, a satellite of our Milky Way some 460,000 ly away, was discovered in 1938 by Harlow Shapley. It has an apparent (integrated) magnitude of 9.3 and contains many, many millions of old population II stars, many resolved in the image. It also contains an unusually high number of globular clusters (6) for a galaxy of its type; the brightest, NGC 1049, is partially resolved and found immediately below the galaxy's lower "edge". As Fornax lies in the direction of the galactic south pole, there are many, more distant galaxies also visible in the field.

Zinnia x hybrida
Zinnia x hybrida cultivars are a cross between Zinnia elegans and Zinnia angustifolia. They have the short, compact size and profuse flowering of the former and the disease resistance of the latter. Flowers average between 2 and 3 inches in diameter.
Zinnia x hybrida is considered a dwarf group -- they have been bred to be much shorter and bushier than the species plants.

> 50 year old male dwarf crocodile (Osteolaemus tetraspis) called "Kuma". He is the father of eight tiny West African Dwarf Crocodiles hatched from eggs at the San Diego Zoo’s Reptile House, a first in the Zoo’s 101-year history! Seen in Africa Rocks at the San Diego Zoo
Dwarf crocks are also known as broad-snouted crocodiles or bony crocodiles. They are the smallest crocodilian species.

Dwarf Pansy is one of Britain's rarest flowers and is only found in a small area of grassland on the island of Bryher in the Scilly Isles, though in 2021, two plants were rediscovered on the uninhabited island of Tean, the first seen there since 2005. www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/may/29/dwarf-pansy-b... I posted a Dwarf Pansy a few days ago but that had a finger to give scale, so here's a straight photo of the tiny flower itself (c2mm across). I should say that it is more widespread across southern Europe but in Britain it is restricted to Scilly. Here's its British distribution map: plantatlas.brc.ac.uk/plant/viola-kitaibeliana Its scientific name was in honour of Pál Kitaibel (1757-1817) a Hungarian botanist and chemist. The name was given by an Austrian botanist Josef Schultes (1773-1831).
