The 2019 Kentucky Derby winner (then DQ'd to be 17th) finished his career in the 2020 Breeders' Cup Classic. The son of New Year's Day enters his first season at srud in 2021.
Maximum depth is about 7mm. If this were a race boat I might be concerned, but I will leave well enough alone.

Die Blüten sind cremeweißlich, manchmal auch mit zart rötlich angehauchten Spitzen. Die Stängel sind meist rötlich bis rötlich überlaufen. Die Gliederung dieser Artengruppe ist noch nicht abgeschlossen und somit umstritten!

August 2009 and here is the eighth session of foster kittens.
Not a great photo as it was shot thru the glass doors and at night (hence the tweaking) but as you can see… Three is the maximum number of kittens allowed in this bed. Hedi had the big bed all to herself… like a princess :)

Went back today to check on the baby eagles. This is the only shot they gave me to get all three of them. I have been told there we three but all the times I have been up there I only saw two. They are really big I would say right now their wing span is close to 5 feet, they were in the nest testing their wings and I couldn't believe how big a wing span they have right now. I'm sure by next week they will be branching and not long after that they will be gone. I also found out that the male and the female will leave the babies alone for quite some time now only to come back to feed them or to defend them. We had a couple of opportunities when we got there this morning to get some good shots of the male and female comming into feed the babies. We got their around 7:30am (after leaving Renoldsburg at 4am) and around 8o'clock the male came in with a fish but he suprised us and we didn't get a shot, then around 8:35 the female came in with what we think was either a snake or an eel from the nearby Pine Lake again we missed that shot. that really bummed me out but the male and female are slick and when they come in they come in low and fast, and you have to be ready at all times or you'll miss them. The male or the female was not seen the rest of the morning leaving the babies alone the whole time, the only time one of them came back was to defend them from a Coopers Hawk that was flying around the nest.

One of the chief floral glories of eastern North America's Cumberland Plateau and Appalachians is Rhodendron maximum, the species I still call the Rosebay Rhododendron. That despite the fact there's a tendency nowadays to use the alternative common name of Great Laurel instead. But the latter is more misleading because it suggests the plant shown here in bloom is a Laurel Family (Lauraceae) member. However, it actually belongs, as all the many New- and Old-World Rhododendron species do, to the Ericaceae (Heath Family).
And yes, I realize that both the "rose" and the "bay" in my own preferred moniker refer to other families, too, but at least they're followed by the taxonomically correct "rhododendron."
As its specific epithet suggests, this prominent understory denizen can get really large for a shrub—it can easily overtop even the tallest bipedal botanist. And it often forms large and dense clonal stands. My favorite example of this, described and extolled in my Plant Explorer's Guide to New England, is found at New Hampshire's Rhododendron State Park.
The plants shown here were shorter and probably younger specimens, but in addition to showing off their blossoms nicely they provided an excellent view of their simple, entire-margined, and evergreen foliage.
