See the first comment section for a closer look at the grasshopper.
Romalea is a genus of grasshoppers native to the Southeastern and South-central United States. Its single species is Romalea microptera, known commonly as the eastern lubber grasshopper, Florida lubber, or Florida lubber grasshopper.
It is the most distinctive grasshopper species within the Southeastern US, and is well known for its size and its unique coloration. It can reach nearly 3 inches (8 cm) in size.
It is the type genus and species of the relatively new family Romaleidae and tribe Romaleini, and was long known as Romalea microptera before being moved to Romalea guttata. After new research, though, the remaining names (including guttata) have been marked as nomina oblita and microptera takes priority once more.
R. microptera inhabits regions west of North Carolina to Tennessee, in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas, and throughout Florida, Missouri, and Arizona. They live in open pinewoods, weedy vegetation, and weedy fields. - Wikipedia

Coues Deer are a subspecies of Whitetail Deer found in desert regions, especially hills and mountains between 4,000-8,000 feet elevation, usually with scrub oak and high grassy basins.
This subspecies is isolated from other whitetails, but occasionally comes into contact with other whitetails in Arizona and Mexico. Coues whitetails are found in central and southern Arizona and the southwestern corner of New Mexico, and most all of Sonora, Mexico.
The most obvious difference between Coues whitetails and their other whitetail cousins is the size. Coues deer bucks (males) are only about 30 inches tall at the shoulder, and only the biggest bodied specimens will attain weights of over 100 pounds.
I photographed this Coues Buck near Portal, Arizona.
White-Tailed Deer.
From between 27 to 45 inches tall and 6 to 7 feet long and weighing 150-310 pounds (male) and 90 to 211 pounds (female). Tan or reddish brown in summer and grayish brown in winter. Belly, throat, nose band, eye ring and inside of ears are white. Tail brown and edged with white above often with a dark stripe down the center and white below. Black spots on side of chin. Buck's antlers can spread to 3 feet. Does rarely have antlers. Fawns are spotted.
The White-Tailed Deer inhabits farmlands, brushy areas, woods, suburbs and gardens.
They range throughtout the southern half of the southern tier of Canadian provinces and through most of the United States except for the Southwest.

The north end of the centre span of the Forth Bridge straddles the Island of Inch Garvie which roughly translated means Rough Island.
It has a fort on it dated back to the 1500s which has also been used as a prison. The small lighthouse on the Western tip of the Island was built in 1886 and stands 33ft high. It is now disused.

Inch beach on the Dingle Penisular in Southern Ireland. Amazing place. You can drive onto the beach here and it was my first time on a beach since my accident in 1972!! Loved it!!!
Here's a full view of my foty Arrowhead spiketail (Cordulegaster obliqua) at the wetlands yesterday, North Georgia. This was a BIG dragonfly at a good 3.5 inches long.
When I was at Spenard Crossing I observed a family of mallard chicks scooting across the water and bite at the air. I could not initially tell what they were attempting to eat but I tried to capture the action as best I could. Once home I could see that the chicks were going after mosquitos. In this image this chick is rapidly coming out of the water and just a couple of inches in front, a mosquito, which the chick is going after. The action was swift and provided me some smiles as I captured the mallard chicks finding some food. In fact, I'm still amazed that these chicks can move so rapidly that they can essentially run across the surface of the water.

Because of the size of the sand bar it is impossible to get the drone far enough back to get the whole thing in. This is a composite of two images stitched together.

I was thinking of this quote from Sally Mann while making this photograph: "You know, if it doesn’t have ambiguity, don’t bother to take it. I love that, that aspect of photography—the mendacity of photography. It’s got to have some kind of peculiarity in it, or it’s not interesting to me."
Sandhill Crane.
Between 34 to 48 inches in length with a wingspan of nearly 7 feet. They are very tall with a long neck and long legs. Largely gray with a red forehead. Juveniles are browner and have no red on head. Their plumage often appears a rusty color because of iron stains from water of ponds or marshes.
They inhabit large freshwater marshes, prairie ponds and marshy tundra. They are also on prairies and grain fields during migration and in winter.
They range from Siberia and Alaska to the Hudson Bay and south into western Ontario. There are isolated populations in: the Rocky Mountains, the northern prairies, the Great Lakes, Mississippi, Georgia and Florida. They winter in California's Central Valley and across the southern states from Arizona to Florida.

Great Blue Heron.
Between 39 to 52 inches long with a wingspan of around 5 feet 10 inches. A common, large mainly grayish heron with a pale or yellowish colored bill. It is often mistaken for a Sandhill Crane but flies with its neck folded and not extended like the Sandhill Crane. In southern Florida an all-white form, the "Great White Heron", differs from the Great Egret in that they are larger with greenish-yellow legs rather than the black legs of the Great Blue Heron.
Their habitat includes lakes, ponds, rivers and marshes.
They breed locally from coastal Alaska, south-central Canada and Nova Scotia south to Mexico and the West Indies. Winters as far north as southern Alaska, central United States and southern New England. Also in the Galapagos Islands.

A One-inch detail from an ornate salad fork that dates from 1900. The pattern is York by Wm. Rogers, and I fell in love with it several years ago and have been collecting it since. I need knives, so if anyone has any they would like to sell, please contact me through Flickr e-mail.
