Ruby-crowned Kinglets are olive-green birds with a prominent white eyering and white wingbar. This wingbar contrasts with an adjacent blackish bar in the wing. The “ruby crown” of the male is only occasionally visible.
These are restless, acrobatic birds that move quickly through foliage, typically at lower and middle levels. They flick their wings almost constantly as they go.
The falcon dragonfly reaches body lengths of up to 55 mm with wingspans of up to 70 mm. The body and eyes of both
sexes are metallic green, which darkens to dark brown or copper in older individuals. The thorax is heavily covered in reddish hairs, giving the green to bronze breast a slight reddish sheen.

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 browner with no red on head. 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 east across arctic Canada to the Hudson Bay and south to western Ontario. There are isolated populations in the Rocky Mountians, northern prairies, and the Great Lakes region along with in Mississippi, Georgia and Florida. They winter in California's Central Valley and across the southern states from Arizona to Florida. They can also be found in Cuba.

The nuthatch is a plump bird about the size of a great tit that resembles a small woodpecker. It is blue-grey above and whitish below, with chestnut on its sides and under its tail. It has a black stripe on its head, a long black pointed bill and short legs.
It breeds throughout England and Wales and has recently began to breed in southern Scotland. It is a resident, with birds seldom travelling far from the woods where they hatch.
One source says the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains range is about 1,000 km (620 mi) in length. Its highest point is 7,090 m (23,260 ft) located 100 km (62 mi) to the northwest of Lhasa. The range is parallel to the Himalayas in the Transhimalayas, and north of the Brahmaputra River. [3] Another source says the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains extend 460 miles (740 km) from Nyêmo County in the west to Ranwu County (the southwestern part of Baxoi County) in the east.
Its highest peak is Mount Nyenchen Tanglha (Nyainqêntanglha Feng) at 7,162 metres (23,497 ft).[4]
The southern side of the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains is precipitous, and falls by around 2,000 metres (6,600 ft), while the northern side is fairly level and descends about 1,000 metres (3,300 ft). Most of the mountains are below 6,500 metres (21,300 ft).[5] They contain 7080 glaciers covering an area of 10,700 square kilometres (4,100 sq mi).[4]
The Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains have an average latitude of 30°30'N and a longitude between 90°E and 97°E. Together with the Gangdise Shan located further west, it forms the Transhimalaya [a] which runs parallel to the Himalayas north of the Yarlung Tsangpo River.
The Drukla Chu river rises in the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains, where it is called the Song Chu river, and joins the Gyamda Chu river. The combined rivers run about 100 kilometres (62 mi) southeast to the Yarlung Tsangpo river.

Blunt nose, small eyes, and small hairy ears in contrast to other British species of mice and also much smaller; prehensile tail the same length as the head and body; russet orange fur with a white underside.
Size: 50-70mm.
Weight: 4-6g.
Lifespan: 18 months on average.
Origin & Distribution: The harvest mouse is a native species. The harvest mouse is mainly found from central Yorkshire southwards. Isolated records from Scotland and Wales probably result from the release of captive animals. Areas of tall grass provide favourable habitats, such as cereals, road side verges, hedgerows, reed beds, dykes and salt mashes where nests can be built.
Diet: They eat a mixture of seeds, berries and insects, although moss, roots and fungi may also be taken. Harvest mice sometimes take grain from cereal heads, leaving characteristic sickle-shaped remains. Noticeable damage to cereal crops is extremely rare.
General Ecology: Harvest mice are extremely active climbers and feed in the stalk zone of long grasses and reeds, particularly around dusk and dawn. Their hearing is acute and they will react sharply; they either freeze or drop into cover in response to rustling sounds up to 7m away. Harvest mice have high energy requirements; the cost of being warm blooded and coping with a high surface to volume ratio.
Breeding nests are the most obvious sign indicating the presence of harvest mice. The harvest mouse is the only British mammal to build nests of woven grass well above ground. Nests tend to be found in dense vegetation such as grasses, rushes, cereals, grassy hedgerows, ditches and brambles. They are generally located on the stalk zone of grasses, at least 30cm above ground in short grasses and up to a metre in tall reeds. The size of the nest can vary from only 5cm in diameter for non-breeding nests to 10cm in diameter for breeding nests.
Harvest mice have many predators: weasels, stoats, foxes, cats, owls, hawks, crows, even pheasants.
Breeding: Harvest mice usually have two or three litters a year in the wild, between late May and October, but even into December if the weather is mild. Most litters are born in August. Cold wet weather is a major cause of mortality. There are usually around six young in a litter. The young are born blind and hairless but grow extremely quickly and start to explore outside the nest by the 11th day. The young are abandoned after about 16 days, but continue using the nest which may at then start to look rather dilapidated. A fresh nest is built for each litter.
Conservation Status: Harvest mice are listed as a BAP (Biodiversity Action Plan) Species because they are thought to have become much scarcer in recent years and they require conservation plans to reverse the decline. Changes in habitat management and agricultural methods are thought to be the main cause for the loss of populations from certain areas, although there have been no reliable studies to quantify this change.
Au 36 de la rue Vaugirard subsiste sous les arcades un vestige de la période post révolutionnaire. Le 26 mars 1791, l’Académie des Sciences définit pour la première fois le mètre comme étant la dix-millionième partie d’un quart de méridien terrestre, soit un quart de cercle reliant un des deux pôles à l’équateur.
Cette nouvelle unité de mesure voulue par les révolutionnaires allait remplacer les anciennes telles que le pouce et le pied qui souvent avait pour référence le roi et qui variaient d’une région à l’autre. La Convention adopta définitivement le mètre comme unité de longueur officielle le 7 avril 1795. Entre février 1796 et décembre 1797, on plaça dans les lieux les plus fréquentés de Paris 16 mètres étalons gravés dans le marbre afin de familiariser les parisiens à cette nouvelle unité de mesure. Il n’en reste aujourd’hui que deux, celui du 36 rue Vaugirard est le seul qui soit resté à son emplacement d’origine, le deuxième se trouve au 13 de la Place Vendôme.
At 36 rue Vaugirard remains under the arcades a vestige of the post-revolutionary period. On March 26, 1791, the Academy of Sciences defined for the first time the meter as the ten millionth part of a quarter of terrestrial meridian, a quarter circle connecting one of the two poles to the equator.
This new unit of measurement wanted by the revolutionaries was to replace the old ones such as the thumb and the foot which often had for reference the king and which varied from one region to another. The Convention definitively adopted the meter as a unit of official length on April 7, 1795. Between February 1796 and December 1797, 16 meters stallions engraved in marble were placed in the busiest places of Paris in order to familiarize the Parisians with this new unit. measured. There are only two left today, that of 36 rue Vaugirard is the only one that remained in its original location, the second is located at 13 Place Vendôme.
Adults of Plagiognathus arbustorum can reach a length of 3.6–4.5 millimetres (0.14–0.18 in). These small mirids show a rather variable color, ranging from almost black to pale olive-green. Usually the head and the pronotum, the 1st and 2nd antennal segments and the margins of the hind femora are wholly dark. Forewings and pronotum are covered in dark hairs. The nymphs are green, with a black drawing on the legs.
Adults of these mirids can be found from July to October. They are polyphagous, usually feeding on many different herbaceous plants, but especially on Urticaceae, Asteraceae, Lamiaceae, Fabaceae, Rosaceae and Apiaceae species.
Both adults and the nymphs prefer to suck on the buds, on flowers and immature fruits of their host plants. They feed occasionally on aphids and honeydew.

If you have been by Pino 1951 for any length of time, you will most undoubtedly seen this beauty on the dancer's stage. Besucona, or as most there call her 'Besu', is a friendly presence to the comfortable, seedy, classy lounge. I let Besu know that I intended on getting a proper picture of her since so often she's been in the scenery of some of my other photos at Pino.
So here she is.. the lovely Besucona. ღ
Ribbon pasta, which is flat strands of pasta, is available in different lengths, widths and thickness. Some are short and wide, while others are long and narrow. Ribbon pasta can have straight or wavy edges and many varieties are available fresh and dried.
The most well known varieties of ribbon pasta are Fettucine, Linguine, Tagliatelle, Lasange and Pappardelle and are generally made from durum wheat, that is semolina in Southern Italy and wheat flour and eggs in Northern Italy. You might know of pizzoccheri though, which is made from buckwheat and is a darker, almost grey colour.
We used to buy a lot of coloured tagliatelle. If you see green pasta, it has spinach in it. Black varieties use squid ink whilst red types are that colour due to the addition of carrot surprisingly. One colour that I have never seen before is a purple colour that evidently is coloured by tomato or beetroot!
I imaged this at 3000mm focal length because it’s only a mere 7.8 seconds of arc in diameter.
One of the downsides of imaging at this focal length is that the seeing conditions have to be good and, unfortunately, they weren’t on this night.

My third annual attempt to capture a fuchsia.
This is getting closer to where I wanted to be with this subject. It's still not exactly what I wanted, but maybe I'll get another chance this year :). The colors of this flower are so vivid and the curves of the shape are so delicate that it's worth the extra effort.
As with many of my flower macros, this was shot on a light table and was illuminated from behind.
This photo is a depth stack of 6 separate images, each of which focuses at a slightly different distance. I was shooting at f/32 to get maximum depth of field, but even then, when the nearest element was in focus, the farthest was out of focus and vice versa. The solution is to shoot multiple images at different focal lengths and then composite them in a Photoshop depth stack.
RHS Hyde Hall, Rettendon, Essex
Over many years I have posted images taken at RHS Hyde Hall and this is a continuation of a series called ‘A Day in the Life’. As the title suggests I’m posting what I think are the best photographs taken on that particular day.
This is the first day I have been able to stay out for any length of time since my illness which occurred last May. The weather was perfect, all good.
Can you see the similarity?
Actually there were about four people on the whole length of Sanna beach
The Rum River that begins from Mille Lacs Lake and runs through Cambridge, Minnesota on its way to Anoka is as low as I have seen it. I took this photo from a spot near the river that is usually under water.
The Rum River is fished for small mouth bass, walleyes, northern pike and rumor has it, an occasional muskie. Fifty miles of the 150 mile length of the river runs through Isanti County including Cambridge.
Galapagos Islands
Four sub species, each one of different length and found on different islands.
The marine iguana (Amblyrhynchus cristatus), also known as the sea iguana, saltwater iguana, or Galápagos marine iguana, is a species of iguana found only on the Galápagos Islands. Unique among modern lizards, it is a marine reptile that has the ability to forage in the sea for algae, which makes up almost all of its diet. Marine iguanas are the only extant lizard that spends time in a marine environment. Large males are able to dive to find this food source, while females and smaller males feed during low tide in the intertidal zone. They mainly live in colonies on rocky shores where they bask after visiting the relatively cold water or intertidal zone, but can also be seen in marshes, mangrove swamps and beaches. Large males defend territories for a short period, but smaller males have other breeding strategies. After mating, the female digs a nest hole in the soil where she lays her eggs, leaving them to hatch on their own a few months later.

While hiking along the backside portion of the Cinder Cone Trail with a view looking to the southwest across the volcanic painted landscape. This is in Lassen Volcanic National Park. Lassen Peak, a distant backdrop beyond some nearby evergreen pine trees, serves as the focal point of this image. As I aligned myself to compose this image, I wanted to zoom in with the focal length to emphasize the mountain peak, while including some of the surrounding national park landscape for foreground interest.
very large hornbill: length up to 1,3m (51") and weight up to 6,2kg (13,7lbs) found from Kenya down to South Africa.
It lives in groups of up to 10 in savanna areas with large trees used for roosting and nesting. Loud booming calls mainly in the morning.

Red-Bellied Woodpecker (male).
10 inches in length. Barred black and white above, pale buff below and on face. The male and female are similar except that the male has a red crown and nape while the female has a red nape only. Their reddish patch on lower abdomen is seldom visible in the field.
Its habitat includes open and swampy woodlands. It also comes into parks during migration and feeders in winter.
They range from South Dakota east through the Great Lakes and into southern New England and south to the Gulf Coast and Florida. Although not a migratory bird, some of the northern most birds will sometimes migrate south for the winter.
