Jumping spiders use their legs to pounce on their prey, which is typically other insects. Amazingly, jumping spiders don't have special leg muscles, like grasshoppers, to help them leap. They propel themselves by suddenly changing the blood flow in their body. Terminix
Jumping spiders or the Salticidae are a family of spiders. As of 2019, it contained over 600 described genera and over 6000 described species, making it the largest family of spiders at 13% of all species. Jumping spiders have some of the best vision among arthropods and use it in courtship, hunting, and navigation. Wikipedia
A herd of cows retreated under a row of trees overnight. Now that the first rays of the sun are dispelling the fog, there is some movement in the group. A few have already got up but still seem a bit lacking in motivation. The rest is still laying on the ground and probably set the alarm clock a little further ahead.
The biggest ox stands on top of mt. Lilienstein making pictures. Because he got up three hours ago already.
Eine Kuhherde hat sich über Nacht unter eine Baumreihe zurück gezogen. Nun, da die ersten Sonnenstrahlen den Nebel verdrängen, kommt etwas Bewegung in die Gruppe. Ein paar sind schon aufgestanden wirken jedoch noch etwas motivationsarm. Der Rest liegt noch da und hat wohl den Wecker noch etwas noch vorn gestellt.
Der größte Ochse steht oben auf dem Lilienstein und fotografiert. Denn der ist schon vor drei Stunden aufgestanden.

Too many citrus fruits! HSS!
and yes, it was a little chunky in spots. It turned out fine though

With no "two of a kind" locomotive type in the lead (SD70ACe-T4, SD70M, C44ACM, SD40N), UP's daily Roper - North Platte manifest hugs the east bench in the Weber River Valley leaving Henefer, Utah on June 10, 2023.
Lago Torre and Glacier Torre. Similar to an earlier shot in the series but it was taken on the way back and from a point slightly lower on the mountain.
Today we are "Making a Splash" with our favorite Flickr colors!

Thanx for Viewin, Favin, and Commentin on my Stream!
She is making bread, but what is this woman thinking about? Her husband? What she was reading by the fire last night? When I ask that question, I think of Spinoza, the 17th century European freethinker. Let's toss our assumptions about her aside. So I asked NotebookLM to do a podcast about how new ideas in the 17th century found their way to the middling sort in England.

An impromptu piano playing session after brunch. My girls are playing piano together here and my heart just melts enjoying the togetherness.
This hen pheasant looks pretty lonely and cold on a windy day in the Minnesota countryside as the winter wind flicks up the feathers around its head.
Though pheasants are hardy birds our winters can be deadly especially if we get serial snow storms that cover potential food sources and fills in normal ground cover that pheasants rely on for protection and warmth.
The diet of pheasants changes from the one in the summer when the DNR says they eat insects, weed seeds, corn, soybeans and other crops. During our cold and snowy months they turn more toward weed seeds and fallen grain, tree buds and small fruits left hanging on branches.
Decades ago in our farming community, farmers had smaller fields ringed by fences that allowed for a natural habitat for pheasants as several feet on each side of the fence was usually unplowed and grown over with vegetation. Some farmers would also leave several rows of corn unpicked to provide both winter food as well as cover.
After securing our donuts in the town of Monterey Virginia we headed out into the beautiful countryside of Highland County looking for the Maple Sugar shack that we had visited almost one year ago to the day and were happy to find it. There are quite a few of these Maple Sugar making shacks around the county and many are open during the Maple Fest for visiting. These two gentleman are the same two men that were there last year. So knowledgeable in the process of making maple syrup they generally took turns talking to visitors and explaining the cooking down process but just this one time I was able to snap a shot with both of them in it. I think the one in the background with the purple hat looks like Compo on the "Last of the Summer Wine" a British Sitcom that ran from 1973 to 2010. It's very dark in the shed and the only heat is from the fires used to boil down the sap. Unfortunately for us, but happily for them, they had already sold all their Maple Syrup.
A small wading bird made its appearance while i was photographing a pair of Wood Storks . It made quite a splash! Okay... I should say that it made ripples. :^)

Sweep leading the way as we make our way through the snow. Over a foot of the white stuff has fallen the past few days and it shows no sign of stopping just yet!
Not wanting to be outdone by a mere house sparrow, this Lesser Golfinch decides to create her own confetti.
When you get fed up being there for hours and a couple of days on the trot taking photos of the Golden Gate Bridge and look for inspiration, nature is a real tonic. I just looked left and the sea was making its feelings known. The Pacific Ocean wasn't really pacified 😂😂

Here's to a good school year! I am crossing my fingers and hoping for the best for these kids. Our sky is still highly polluted from smoke, yesterday we had the worst air quality in the world again. The sunrise was red so I had to try to capture it quickly and then get the day going. New schedule, new school year, hold on tight.
Reddish Egret
Egretta rufescens
Reddish egrets hunt by racing around in shallow water, hoping to scare up some fish. Much of the time they spread out their wings as they do so. Alas, when this one did it was running away from me, and much farther away. There's always next time!

Never seen the Otters doing this before as they were pulling up clumps of grass and taking them back to the Holt even though they are already lined with straw.
