A close relative of lamb's quarters and quinoa, magenta spreen is highly nutritious, adaptable, productive, and drought tolerant. It can be substituted for spinach in anything. Spinach may be a little more juicy and tasy, but magenta spreen offers the unusual advantage of providing tender, fresh greens through the hot summer weeks after spinach, lettuce, and arugula have bolted. Its foliage is attractive and receives little attention from nibbling insects. Seedlings volunteer by the thousands, perhaps an irritation to fussy gardeners, but I don't mind.

Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
Raw, fried, cooked in sauce, juice or gazpacho, tomato is a nutritious and refreshing, for its taste and low price, is part of the diet of most of the Spanish, especially at this time summer. However, the benefit of this simple vegetable in health can be far superior to any drug product for costly and complex investigations, that man has invented. And, to date, no drug has managed to have many therapeutic properties have been revealed as the tomato, since that alone prevents cancer and stroke, as well as control of many other diseases.
If a scientist proclaimed that the product created can prevent up to nine types of cancer, reduce cholesterol, fight infections, strengthen the immune system, eliminate uric acid, arthritis pain appease and reduce the risk of heart attack, anyone could accuse him of lie and take advantage of the hopes of others. If instead of a scientist were a farmer probably would have to agree, as would be talking about the tomatoes.

Fresh Québec blueberries in various stages of ripeness. Beautiful, delicious, nutritious and natural.
It's been a while since I've posted a bear ... and to celebrate the 5 week timeline before we return to Alaska, I thought that I would share one. :-)
At varying times during the summer the salmon run in the rivers, as they try to return to their spawning grounds as they complete their circle of life. Where there's salmon, you're bound to find bears, and my favorite bears are those brown bears that feed on that salmon.
They are such a thrill to watch as they make their way down to the river and watch the salmon as they swim by. Often they find their favorite fishing hole and jump right in ... the feast begins. In a short time, they're running up and down the river in hot pursuit, as they pounce and splash, more often than not, coming up with a fresh catch prize. I always find it incredible to watch as they display such skill in holding and manipulating the salmon, squeezing out the roe first (their favorite part), then stripping the skin off and so forth. They make quick work out of it too, then discard the remaining carcass into the river. The gulls then willingly scoop up whatever is left. It's quite the relationship they've got going on. LOL
Sometimes the bears are difficult to find and I sure hope that our luck repeats itself. Last year, there hadn't been many bears spotted on the Russian until the day we got there and only for a few days. Not sure where they go, but I always pray for their safety, as these bears are not always the most welcome visitors by the fisherman, of the human kind. I say that because everyone knows that these bears are the ultimate "fisherman"!
Until then, I will share a few more images every now and then from Alaska - one of my favorite places to visit in the world!
Thanks so much for stopping by to view and especially for sharing your thoughts and comments.

"What's that," you say? Well, it's a "long" story but not just a "tall" tale, and so I'll try to keep it brief and understandable! The Giraffe is the tallest terrestrial animal in the world, but them we all knew that, right? Of course, being that tall makes it easier to reach those tasty, nutritious leaves higher up in the tree that other animals can't reach. The down side is the down side. Aside from the physical restrictions which cause the giraffe to have to splay its front legs to lower its head to water, taking on a fairly uncomfortable looking posture, there are also physiologic issues of greater concern. Let's assume that we all have a basic knowledge of physics. A column of liquid (blood in this instance) exerts a pressure on its container (the blood vessels) that is directly proportional to the height of the column. The results of this little issue is that when you go from a sitting position to standing too quickly, sometimes you are lightheaded, until your human physiology kicks in. Raising up quickly causes the blood to drop into lower portions of your body, temporarily lowering the blood pressure to your head, and thereby making you dizzy. The alternative is true. Ever stand on your head? You can feel the pressure of blood building up as the column of blood pushes downward, from your toes to your brain. Now, look at that giraffe. His neck is enormous! If our necks were that long and we stood on our heads, in short, the blood vessels in our brains would rupture, killing us! So why doesn't that happen in giraffes? Scientists have been able to show that giraffes have an extensive, intricate network of small blood vessels that are intimately associated with their carotid system. The carotids are the main arteries delivering blood to the brain. In many other animals this type of system, called a "rete mirable," is used to maintain things like temperature in limbs. In giraffes these rete are very elastic. They serve as a damper for pressure when the giraffe lowers its head, and a reservoir for blood when they lift their head to the sky. When the head is lowered, like a balloon these vessels dilate to accept the greater amount of blood rushing into them, without causing the pressure to rise. Basically, it helps to regulate and maintain a healthy blood pressure in the brain of the giraffe no matter what the level of the head is. The sciences of physics and physiology are amazing, and it's even more amazing to see them at work in nature! #iLoveNature #iLoveWildlife #WildlifePhotography in #Tanzania #Nature in #Africa #Serengeti #Giraffes #DrDADBooks #Canon #WildlifeConservation
A light lunch. These came from Morecambe Bay and are a local delicacy. Nutritious and tasty. Some eat this warm but I prefer cold. Produced the same way for hundreds of years.

Magpies can often be observed eating ticks from Roe deer, as they are swollen with blood and therefore highly nutritious. This behaviour is called mutualism; magpies get a meal and the deer gets rid of ticks. Although the buck appears to be looking at the camera, he is in fact completely unaware of it, due to my concealment in vegetation. May and June are ideal months for observing Roe deer bucks, as they remain steadfastly within a small territory to await the arrival of potential mates.
This delicious and nutritious loaf was made with the original grain grown thousands of years ago at the dawn of civilization... it is called 'Emmer wheat,' and this loaf was baked from organically grown yields, the precious grain freshly ground on our precision crafted home grinder, gently but thoroughly sour-doughed over a long time then well-risen, it is baked on high for just over an hour, its iconic fragrance wafting through the country kitchen promising utter satiation... just one slice is a sensation that sticks to your ribs for many hours... and here it is set to cool in the garden with some muffins... all soon to be enjoyed with a heart of thankfulness ... ! :)
The Yellow-shafted Northern Flicker resides in eastern North America while the Red-shafted Flicker resides in the western part. Yellow-shafted Flickers are yellow under the tail and underwings, and have yellow shafts on their primaries where as with the Red-shafted it's red. Both species have a grey cap, a beige face and a red chevron shaped bar at the nape of their neck. Yellow-shafted males have a black moustache while the Red-shafted's moustache is red. Females of both species look essentially the same as the male except they lack the moustache and are typically slightly smaller in size.
Flickers are a medium-to-large-sized woodpecker, measuring 11 - 14 inches (28 - 36 cm) in length with a 17 - 21 inch (42 - 54 cm) wingspan.
Northern Flickers are the only woodpecker that frequently feeds on the ground, probing with their beak, it also sometimes catches insects in flight. Although they eat fruits, berries, seeds and nuts, their primary food is insects. Ants alone can make up 45% of their diet. Flickers often go after ants underground (where the nutritious larvae live), hammering at the soil the way other woodpeckers drill into wood. Their tongues can dart out 2 inches beyond the end of the bill to snare prey. As well as eating ants, flickers have a behavior called "anting", during which they use the acid from the ants to assist in preening, as it is useful in keeping them free of parasites.
Flickers may be observed in open habitats near trees, including woodlands, edges, yards, and parks. Northern birds sometimes migrate to the southern parts of their range; southern birds are often permanent residents.

Arugula; earth cress; arucula; Persian mustard; pinch; Rugula are the most common names in Portuguese.
Eruca Vesicaria is a species originating in the Mediterranean and West Asian region, having propagated to other continents. It can be occasionally found as spontaneous species also in Central Europe, Central Asia, North America and Australia. It is one of the many edible wild plants whose nutritious value is invaluable. Voted for forgetfulness during Sleeplasses Romanaria returned to be highlighted, having been reintroduced successfully in human food and being part of what was convinced to call modernist cuisine, avid new techniques and flavors. Of course, it is no longer necessary to go seek it to the field because it is largely cultivated and marketed together with other similar species, all baptized of arugula. Its cultivation is made in different Mediterranean countries such as Italy, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Sudan, Spain and now also Portugal.
Rúcula; agrião-da-terra; arucula; mostarda-persa; pinchão; rugula são os nomes mais comuns em português.

Eruca Vesicaria هي نوع منشئي في منطقة البحر الأبيض المتوسط والغرب الآسيوي، بعد أن نشر إلى قارات أخرى. يمكن العثور عليها في بعض الأحيان كأنواع عفوية أيضا في أوروبا الوسطى وآسيا الوسطى وأمريكا الشمالية وأستراليا. إنها واحدة من العديد من النباتات البرية الصالحة للأكل التي تكون قيمتها المغذية لا تقدر بثمن. تم التصويت لصالح النسيان أثناء نوم الرومانكاريا عادت، بعد أن أعيد إرسالها بنجاح في الغذاء البشري وكونك جزءا مما كان مقتنعا بدعوة المأكولات الحداثية وتقنيات ونكهات جديدة. بالطبع، لم يعد من الضروري الذهاب للبحث عنها إلى هذا المجال لأنه يزرع إلى حد كبير وتسويقه جنبا إلى جنب مع الأنواع المماثلة الأخرى، وكلها تعميم من جرجير. تصنع زراعةها في بلدان البحر المتوسط المختلفة مثل إيطاليا واليونان وتركيا ومصر والسودان وإسبانيا والآن أيضا البرتغال.
This plant had formerly a great reputation as a vulnerary, being strongly recommended by Gerard in his Herbal. He tells us that once being in Kent, visiting a patient, he accidentally heard of a countryman who had cut himself severely with a scythe, and had bound a quantity of this herb, bruised with grease and 'laid upon in manner of a poultice' over the wound, which healed in a week, though it would 'have required forty daies with balsam itself.' Gerard continues:
'I saw the wound and offered to heal the same for charietie, which he refused, saying I could not heal it so well as himself - a clownish answer, I confesse, without any thanks for my good-will: whereupon I have named it "Clown's Woundwort."
Gerard himself, according to his own account, afterwards 'cured many grievous wounds, and some mortale with the same herbe.' The plant was regarded as a valuable remedy in such cases long before Gerard's time, having long borne the names, among country people, All-heal and Woundwort. The Welsh have an ancient name for it bearing the same signification.
It has edible roots. These are tuberous and attain a considerable size; when boiled they form a wholesome and nutritious food, rather agreeable in flavour. The young shoots may likewise be eaten cooked like Asparagus, but though pleasant in taste they have a disagreeable smell.
In modern herbal medicine this plant (which is collected in July, when just coming into flower and dried in the same manner as Wood Betony is employed for its antiseptic and antispasmodic properties. It relieves gout, cramp and pains in the joints and vertigo. The bruised leaves, which have an unpleasant odour and an astringent taste, when applied to a wound will stop bleeding and heal the wound, as is claimed for them by old tradition, and the fresh juice is made into a syrup and taken internally to stop haemorrhages, dysentery, etc.

Common crossbills have one of the most protracted breeding seasons of any British bird. It can begin as early as January and, in parts of their range, they have been recorded breeding in every month of the year. Up to four greenish-white, lightly-blotched eggs are laid, and incubated solely by the female. After 13 days, the eggs hatch and both parents take part in feeding duties. Like many other seed-eating birds, the chicks are fed on insects initially, as these are highly nutritious.
I went to the forest of Dean yesterday, in the hope of seeing these stunning birds. A six hour round trip.

"Palm jaggery is loaded with essential nutrients. It is high in iron which helps in treating anemia by increasing the hemoglobin level. It also contains magnesium, which helps in regulating the nervous system. It is equally rich in calcium, phosphorus, and potassium."
We also blanched and froze snap beans and eggplant. Of course, these vegetables didn't come from our winter garden but from Borderlands Produce Rescue, whose mission for 28 years has been to supplement meals in Arizona communities with fresh nutritious rescued produce while reducing food waste and methane gas from landfills.
Reeds cannot be very nutritious, I guess. But this greylag goose (Anser anser) munched on a shoot.
