Juvenile Goosander on the River Esk, Musselburgh, East Lothian, Scotland

Lila-Rot-Gelb vor Grün!

Frühjahrsblüher

Queens, workers and males all have two yellow bands on the thorax but none on the abdomen. The yellow is bright and often straw-coloured. However the rear band on the thorax is less pronounced. The orange-red tail colouring extends over more than half of the abdomen. This species is usually associated with upland moors but may also be seen in habitats close to these.

while man build's

nature sings.

while man makes

nature partakes, in her delight in her giving nature.

man takes from nature and nature gladly gives.

man makes of nature what it wants and nature gives freely.

so let our homes be simple

let nature be grand.

let her shine and radiate

let us give her what she deserves.

let us give her the grace and dignity she gives to us.

my house is simple, my needs not much.

after all, mother nature is right outside my door.

i want her shine i want her grace, she makes me look good

no matter the pace.

while my life slows down and my emotions round down,

may my love for her grow as she gives without bound.

I finally managed to acquire a copy of this iconic lens, circa 1974. These frames are from the first film using the lens, and I think it may well live up to it's very high reputation.

Auch er wird schon bald wieder blühen!
