Nara Park, Japan. The local herd of deer come into the park during the day to beg food from visitors. Special biscuits which are nutritious for deer are available for a small charge. They can get quite frisky so some of the stags have antlers removed for the safety of tourists.
It is surprising to think that this small, delicate looking plant has been used so widely through centuries in the making of clothes and linen but the strong and flexible stems are perfectly suited for the purpose. A comprehensive description of the process can be found here.

The name 'usitatissimum' means many uses of which there is a long list. Some of the main ones are the use of the seeds for making nutritious seed cake particularly for feeding cattle. The oil is used to make linseed oils as well as in the making of other paints, varnishes and similar products, also in making quality papers especially for cigarettes. It has medical uses especially to help the digestion.
Thank you so much for sharing your quality photos which is a great way to see and keep some sort of touch with the world from home. Also for your kind comments and favours which are much valued.

I could have written about global warming, shrinking glaciers, the extinction of more animal species, rising sea levels, bleaching of coral reefs, more droughts and as a result crop failure which could lead to the loss of nutritiously critical vegetables. That is when the world population is expected to grow to 10 billion by 2050.
Instead, I written a few lines about reforestation. Many scientists agree that reforestation is vital to tackling the climate crisis, and some are of the opinion that it may very well be one of the top solutions to take carbon dioxide (CO2) out of the atmosphere. It is all about giving nature an opportunity to restore itself. It is not a quick fix, but at least might mitigate global warming as it facilitates bio-sequestration of carbon dioxide. Instead, there is a critical amount of deforestation in the Amazon, and I won’t even start writing about the Australian bush fires.
I probably should have posted an image of a tree. Next time.
The Autumn day was splashing with color. Here are two Mexican Sunflowers named for the companion of the Greek goddess of Sunrise Eos, Tithonus. Their visitor is a Garden Bumblebee foraging for nutritious delights.
These raspberries are growing in my back garden! Yesterday I ate about 20 of these little gems, I couldn't resist!! It's such a treat to go out & pick some every few days at this time of year! Happy Fence Friday everyone =)
Europeans call it fungi, and so should all English-speakers, I suppose. Whatever the name, they are delicious and healthful fresh food available to us humans--Berkeley Bowl offers a wide range of selections--these mostly grown in Canada, I observe. When I lived in rural NC, several of my neighbors grew their own fungi on specially prepared logs. Some sold them at the farmer's market. It's fun to see that in action.

A male Northern Harrier - "the grey ghost" - banks over a buffaloberry thicket along the Frenchman River. In early spring the branches are not fully leafed out; in another week they will be, and thus offer better concealment to small nesting birds. By then, the harrier will be working the open fields, searching for rodents and other small mammals. In the fall they add fat, nutritious, adult grasshoppers to their diet. We have a lot of those this year, so maybe I'll be lucky and get another decent shot before the snow arrives.
I shot this more or less at eye level, from the rolling red Toyota blind. The Frenchman is a sunken river that carves a long, winding channel across the prairie. The banks tend to be steep. It isn't wide in most places, and certainly looks nothing like the big rivers I grew up with in eastern Canada. Its depth ranges from a few inches to twelve feet or more, depending on many interrelated factors. In winter, it provides shelter from wind and driving snow for many wildlife species, and a protected travel corridor when frozen. One of the main survival keys here in winter is getting out of the wind, and the river allows moose, coyotes, grouse, and many other critters to do just that.
No special technique used here - just stop the car, roll down the window, find the focus, and shoot. I did a little noise reduction in Topaz DeNoise and minor upscaling in ON1 Resize. Small tweaks.
The prairie raptor series continues tomorrow...

I've spent quite a bit of time recently learning how to cook. My favorite dish? Split-pea soup with ham. Mmm...delishus.
This tiny berry packs quite a nutritious punch, and includes high levels of vitamin C, sorbic acid, and dietary fibre, but they are mostly praised for their unique antioxidant composition.
The fruit, depending on the cultivar, can actually be toxic in some cases, but most of that toxicity fades if heated or frozen for extended periods of time. Commonly, the berries are used in alcoholic beverages or liqueurs, but can also be used as a bitter side flavouring of certain game dishes. They are also commonly pressed into jams and jellies.
When rowan berries are picked in the wild, they contain high levels of parasorbic acid, which can actually cause a range of illnesses. However, once frozen or heated, this acid changes to the beneficial sorbic acid, which our body finds very useful. Therefore, don’t go out picking wild rowan berries, make sure you properly prepare them first to get the most benefits!
"Can you see the vole that was given to me? Pretty gross but our parents say it is highly nutritious to us birds and I should eat it. I don't understand too much about proteins, fats and minerals but I do want to grow strong for our long flight south this fall.
So, I took the vole and shook it violently from side to side as I saw my parents do to them, double making sure it was no more living. And then I tried to eat it. As it turned out I couldn't possibly swallow it whole, and my blunt bill wasn't much of a use to rip mouth size pieces out of it either. Even though I am a pretty big bird now I needed help with that. Dad was right there, watching and seeing my struggles...and he helped me. I heard someone say "but you're a goose, geese don't eat voles" ... I don't know what they are talking about."

The common Nasturtium. . . grows like a weed in parts of CA. . . . I don't know about where you live. High in vitamins, they say, and has a bit of a tang, not unpleasant. Fancy chefs are fond of the flowers on a plate, but it's all good.

An American Robin has foraged in my backyard for nutritious protein for the little ones, and now is standing on the fence ready to depart. Just one of countless trips.
Robins aren't difficult to photograph, but here I was shooting between the overhanging branches of a Manitoba Maple that grows on my neighbour Adam's side of the fence. Adam has offered to cut the branches, but I like them, and so do the birds. However, in this case an out of focus branch was bisecting the lower part of this robin; you can see traces of it at the lower left. Clearly some processing was needed.
Removing the branch digitally wasn't an option, so I did a fairly tight crop on the head, then upscaled the image using ON1 Resize. After that I ran it through Topaz DeNoise for some moderate noise removal. Finally I used Photoshop's Dodge Tool to lighten the eye a touch, and saved the 300 ppi version as an uncompressed TIFF file. Then I changed the colour space from Adobe RGB (1998) - which is best for printing, and the one preferred by most publishers - to sRGB, the universal colour space for sharing online, and finally reduced the resolution to 72 ppi, which is all that the average monitor can read, and sharpened that version using the Photoshop Unsharp Mask. For this I used Luminosity Sharpening, which is yet another step in the workflow, but I like the result as it reduces the halo effect around contrasty subject lines that is a clear sign of over-sharpening.
I can imagine the yawns of boredom now, folks begging me to shut up or just shoot them. Sorry. I generally fly through these steps in a few minutes. Taking care with the processing allows me to provide a high quality, publishable image to a client on demand. It's a huge step up from the days of slides in plastic boxes.

This hungry American goldfinch is sitting on top of a sorghum stalk and having a few of those nutritious sorghum seeds for breakfast. They would be the equivalent of oatmeal for us on a brisk winter morning.
"LINES ON A YOUNG LADY'S PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM"
By Philip Larkin
At last you yielded up the album, which
Once open, sent me distracted. All your ages
Matt and glossy on the thick black pages!
Too much confectionery, too rich:
I choke on such nutritious images.
My swivel eye hungers from pose to pose --
In pigtails, clutching a reluctant cat;
Or furred yourself, a sweet girl-graduate;
Or lifting a heavy-headed rose
Beneath a trellis, or in a trilby-hat
(Faintly disturbing, that, in several ways) --
From every side you strike at my control,
Not least through those these disquieting chaps who loll
At ease about your earlier days:
Not quite your class, I'd say, dear, on the whole.
But o, photography! as no art is,
Faithful and disappointing! that records
Dull days as dull, and hold-it smiles as frauds,
And will not censor blemishes
Like washing-lines, and Hall's-Distemper boards,
But shows a cat as disinclined, and shades
A chin as doubled when it is, what grace
Your candour thus confers upon her face!
How overwhelmingly persuades
That this is a real girl in a real place,
In every sense empirically true!
Or is it just the past? Those flowers, that gate,
These misty parks and motors, lacerate
Simply by being you; you
Contract my heart by looking out of date.
Yes, true; but in the end, surely, we cry
Not only at exclusion, but because
It leaves us free to cry. We know what was
Won't call on us to justify
Our grief, however hard we yowl across
The gap from eye to page. So I am left
To mourn (without a chance of consequence)
You, balanced on a bike against a fence;
To wonder if you'd spot the theft
Of this one of you bathing; to condense,
In short, a past that no one now can share,
No matter whose your future; calm and dry,
It holds you like a heaven, and you lie
Unvariably lovely there,
Smaller and clearer as the years go by.
Rich soil, Rich history
Located in the heart of the prairies, we farm near Indian Head, Saskatchewan. As far back as 1882, people were attracted to the fertile land in the area. In 1887, one of Canada’s first agricultural research stations was established to research crops and dry land agricultural practices. The town of Indian Head was incorporated in 1902 and was one of the world’s largest initial shipping points for wheat.
With 17,000 acres of land, CanMar Foods is committed to providing healthy, nutritious foods to people everywhere, starting right at the farm. Today, the CanMar Foods farm at Indian Head stretches over 12,000 acres. We also have two other conventional grain operations located near Lang, Saskatchewan and Russell, Manitoba, covering approximately 5,000 acres.

When you touch the stems of Silene viscaria you'll sense a stickness, an exudation from glands which can trap small insects. I'm not sure why Silene does that because it's not a carnivorous plant in the sense that it derives nutrition from those small animals. Whatever the explanation, our Hoverfly is far too big and strong to be thwarted in his quest for nutritious pollen. And he doesn't stick to pink but will court any colorful flower of which he can access nectar and pollen.

This past weekend I went to Abbey Hill Farm in Manotick to see some amazing displays of pumpkins, corn, fresh apples & so much more! Lots to see & enjoy for the whole family! Best viewed large!
This American robin is guarding its big cache of tasty ripe crabapples at Lake Meyer Park today. Large flocks of American robins that spent their summer up in Canada are coming back home to America now😊 They will fuel up on several nutritious ripe fruits for the next week or so before continuing south where there's less snow and cold for the winter.
A single pomegranate fruit showing it's love 💗
Pomegranate
(Punica granatum)
The average pomegranate fruit hold around 600 arils.
The soft juicy red fleshy part surrounding the seed is delicious and very nutritious, the seeds can be chewed and eaten also to provide roughage.
A typical 100g serving of pomegranate seeds and flesh contain on average: 7g of fiber, 3g of protein, also impressively almost a third of our required vitamin C intake.
Big thank you to everyone who:
Viewed, commented or favoured my little macro image today .... It's really appreciated my friends. 💞

The plant makes up a large part of the turf in some of southern England's chalk downs. It is highly nutritious for sheep and cattle, and in the past was cultivated on calcareous soils for fodder
Returning to Kansas and home, I stopped back at Ash Hollow to stretch my legs and to eat lunch. Lunch consisted of a banana, Pringles, tapioca pudding and a coke. Very nutritious.
A big grizzly that was eating a salmon comes out of the sedge grass on the river bank to try for another salmon. During the fall salmon run the objective is to eat as many nutritious salmon as possible, effectively doubling their body weight as they bulk up for the long winter hibernation when they live off stored fat reserves.

Hildegard is hoping that I'll give her another nutritious acorn to snack on. She likes to eat them in the safety of her clubhouse, where she can enjoy her treats in peace. Sometimes the sheep hassle her.
"Valerianella carinata" also known as Lamb's Lettuce. This plant was introduced into the kitchen garden by Louis XIV's gardener, having previously been a crop used by the peasant class. It can be found in European markets in spring when the taste is at its most mild. The name Lamb's Lettuce is thought to be a reference to the fact that it tastes best during the lambing season. It is highly nutritious, containing vitamins C, E and B9 and also beta carotene.
The flowers are tiny. I only spotted the 2 Golden Micromoths after I uploaded the image.

Panoptes blue
Among the lichenids it is one of the smallest in size along with Cupido minimus. Its univoltine presence is springtime and always passes around its nutritious plant, Thymus sp. (Wild thyme).
In the photo it appears perched on a branch, I think that of wild asparagus.

A common Moorhen commences with the tastiest, most nutritious portion of the fish, lol. There was an abundant supply of all sorts of fish and crabs for the diversity of birds
Is not closing time soon. I am so hungry! And now, please, is feeding time!
The increasingly solitary bears are always on the lookout for something nutritious - insects - they spend a lot of time digging through the piles of wood that visitors to the enclosure can discover.

Το σαλέπι χρησιμοποιείται κυρίως στην Ανατολή αλλά και στην Ελλάδα ως χειμωνιάτικο θερμαντικό, μαλακτικό και θρεπτικό πρωινό ρόφημα.Οι κόνδυλοι αρχικά βρέχονται με ζεματιστό νερό για να απομακρυνθεί το αιθέριο έλαιο που περιέχουν και το οποίο αν παραμείνει, προσδίδει στο σαλέπι γεύση πικρή και δυσάρεστη. Στη συνέχεια αποξηραίνονται και αλέθονται. Παρασκευάζεται αφέψημα της σκόνης το οποίο γλυκαίνεται με ζάχαρη ή μέλι και αρωματίζεται με κανέλλα ή πιπερόριζα που και αυτή είναι σκόνη από τη ρίζα του φυτού Ζιγγίβερ το φαρμακευτικό (Zingiber officinale).
Το σαλέπι θεωρείται και φαρμακευτική ουσία γιατί περιέχει αραβίνη, τραγακανθίνη και πολύ άμυλο το οποίο, όταν διαλύεται στο νερό, δημιουργεί ένα υγρό πηκτό και βλεννώδες και θεωρείται κατάλληλο για την ανακούφιση του βήχα, του άσθματος και του στομαχόπονου. Στις ορχιδέες αυτές και στις θεραπευτικές ιδιότητες του αναφέρεται και ο Ιπποκράτης, ο Ασκληπιός, ο Θεόφραστος,αλλά και ο Γαληνός.
I gave the Scarlett and most of the Belmont goats some fresh hay tonight, to draw attention away from the special food I was giving separately to Chester and Jack. Those two are older and eat timothy pellets, a type of nutritious grass. The other goats love the pellets, and will mob me if they see me with the bowls.
