Although the grass seems plentiful in the Shropshire Hills at the present moment, the farmer had obviously decided that his cows needed something more nutritious, and they were crowding round to make sure they got their rations. This farm was near the tiny village of Ratlinghope, on the north-west side of the Long Mynd.
Duckweed is quite nutritious as a plant protein, and somehow the sparrow, and others, know it.

Can deer feel their antlers? Antlers in the early stage of growth are covered with a fuzzy skin called velvet, which contains a tremendous concentration of nerves and a vigorous supply of blood. The velvet nourishes the growing antler for about five months. During development, antlers are delicate and extremely sensitive to the touch.
How can you tell how old a red deer stag is? Methods of ageing deer are based largely on tooth eruption patterns and the degree of wear on teeth. Alternative methods involve cross-sectioning the tooth to examine layers of dentine (equivalent to age-rings in trees). This method is more time-consuming, and requires teeth extraction from the jaw.
What colour are red deer? Red Deer - Deer Species - The British Deer Society
Red deer are a distinctive rusty red colour in summer turning to a brown winter coat. Adults are not spotted. They have a short tail and a pale rump patch with no particular distinguishing features. They also have a large head with wide-spaced brown eyes.

It has many healing properties. Best known to heal wounds. Great on skin blemishes and scars.
Manuka honey also has antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties that may help treat numerous ailments, including irritable bowel syndrome, gastric ulcers, periodontal disease, and upper respiratory infections. It's also regarded as "super food"
Like those of other Prosopis species, Screwbean Mesquite has nutritious seedpods that can be eaten. The Pimas cooked the pods in dirt-covered pits over intervals of a few days. Mesquite is a traditional Native American food source, being used to make meal, cakes and syrup. Used as a staple food for centuries by desert dwellers, this high protein meal contains good quantities of calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and zinc, and is rich in the amino acid lysine as well. Mesquite is high in fiber, moderate in sugar, and 8% protein. It has a sweet, rich, molasses-like flavor with a hint of caramel which blends well into smoothies or other drinks, especially those made with cacao and maca. The fruits may be used as a coffee substitute.

The Oyster mushroom, or Pleurotus ostreatus var. columbinus,BLUE OYSTER MUSHROOMS here, this here is the whole FANFARE! The Brass section? LOL.
Oyster mushrooms (there are several varieties and subspecies) are some of the most nutritious around. According to R.H. Kurtzman, PhD., they are a rich sources of high-quality proteins and amino acids, B vitamins, and pro-vitamin D (the vitamin a lot of people are missing these days, as indoor jobs means little sun exposture). Minerals such as iron and potassium are also present.

Araneus diadematus with partially digested prey.
Once a prey item has been subdued by the spiders venomous bite, digestion is initiated outside the body. The spider regurgitates digestive enzymes onto its prey which in turn starts to dissolve the body. When the prey is mostly liquefied, the spider uses its chelicerae to break down the tissue further before sucking up the nutritious soup. Feeding behaviour does differ between spider families. An example is the Thomisids, crab spiders which have none or maybe a few cheliceral teeth. In that case, they make a bite and the enzymes are regurgitated into the bite area and the insides of the prey are dissolved and sucked out, leaving a intact shell.
Cherries are a very tasty and nutritious fruit. They contain many vitamins, minerals and compounds which have many health benefits. Some studies have shown cherries are especially beneficial in fighting some cancers. They contain a number of anti-oxidants which help "mop up" free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules which cause damage to cells as the circulating molecule attacks other healthy cells. Damage to cells caused by free radicals have been shown to speed up the aging process.
The nutrients and compounds found in cherries give the following health benefits..
Help fight cancer
Aid in prevention of heart disease
Relieve Pain of Arthritis, Gout, Headaches
Ease the symptoms associated with Fibromyalgia Syndrome
Provide a healthy and safe way to produce melatonin
Improve physiological and mental functions

National Cereal Day March 7
Cereal is celebrated and eaten today! Cereal, in general, may be a name for any grain, such as wheat, barley, oats, or corn. But since the end of the nineteenth century in America, cereal has usually meant breakfast cereal—now the most popular breakfast food in the country. It gained popularity at that time, as a healthier alternative to other foods. Until the 1860s, breakfast was dominated by eggs, bacon, and sausage. Reformers began preaching that eating too much meat was both physically and spiritually harmful, and cereal was looked at as a nutritious remedy of sorts.
The first American cooked cereals were corn-mush porridges that had been adapted from Native Americans. Quaker Oats, made from hulled oats, was created in 1877. Cream of Wheat appeared in 1894. The first cold cereal was invented by Dr. James Caleb Jackson, and was made of hard, bland bran nuggets that had to be soaked overnight and were hard to digest. It was called granula.
John Kellogg, head of the Battle Creek Sanitarium in Battle Creek, Michigan, gave grains to his patients, and then created packaged cereals. He first called his cereal granola, but then changed its name to Granose, as it was too close in name to Jackson's granula. He later made Granose flakes. In the 1890s, John Kellogg, along with his brother William, made boiled wheat and inadvertently left it out overnight and found it was stale the next morning. They then rolled it and saw it made flakes. They tried it with corn and saw the same thing happened. Their new creation was Kellogg’s Corn Flakes, one of the most popular and enduring breakfast cereals.
After suffering a nervous breakdown, Charles William Post went to Kellogg's sanitarium in 1893. Subsequently, he started his own breakfast foods company, and in 1897 started selling Grape-Nuts, made of wheat and malted barley. He started selling Elijah Manna in 1904, but after the name was criticized, he started calling them as Post Toasties in 1906.
In 1892, Henry Perky, a lawyer from Denver, traveled to Watertown, New York, and along with William Ford, discovered a process to press wheat shreds into biscuits. He called them Shredded Wheat. They were bought out by the National Biscuit Company in 1928, a company now known as Nabisco.
Wheaties were created accidentally in 1921. A Minneapolis health theorist name Mennenberg spilled gruel on a hot stove and found it made a crisp wheat flake. Washburn Crosby Company, later known as General Mills and the subsequent identity to the radio and television station WCCO, bought the rights and introduced Wheaties in 1924. General Mills introduced a corn-puff cereal called Kix in 1937, and a ring-shaped oat cereal named Cheerioats in 1941; their name was changed to Cheerios in 1945.
Shredded Ralston may not be a familiar breakfast cereal name today, but that is the original name of Wheat Chex, introduced by the Ralston Purina Company of St. Louis in 1935. They were followed by Rice Chex in 1950, and by Corn Chex in 1958. It wasn’t soon after that people started using these cereals as a snack mix, which today with many variations and ingredients, is known as “Chex Mix”.
The first sweetened cereal, Ranger Joe Popped Wheat Honnie, was introduced in 1939, and the idea of cereal as solely a health food changed. This began the trend of sweetened cereals being marketed to children. Radio and television ads began being used to popularize cereal, and cartoon characters were introduced. Some cereals were also named after cartoon or movie characters, such as Count Chocula and Frankenberry, and who could forget Tony the Tiger with “They’re G-r-r-eat!” for the Frosted Flakes cereal.
In the 1960s, breakfast cereals began being criticized for having little nutritional value on their own, and vitamins and minerals began being added. Sugar in children's cereals was also cut back. There also was an increase in interest in natural grain cereals—those without cane sugar or additives. Although, a lot of them did have honey, brown sugar, raisins, or other dried fruit.
About half of Americans start their day with a bowl of cereal. Annual sales of breakfast cereal are 7.7 billion dollars, and 2.7 billion boxes of cereal are sold each year. With so much cereal being eaten, it is only fitting that there is a day to celebrate it!
How to Observe
Celebrate the day by eating cereal! Try sampling some of the best breakfast cereals of all time. Eat cereal plain, have it with milk, or use it to make something, such as Rice Krispies Treats. If there ever was a day to eat cereal for every meal, this is it!
Here, Lloyd gets ready to have some Corn Flakes which Mr. Wu has brought to the table. But guess who else has come with his bowl!

Greylag geese are largely herbivorous and feed chiefly on grasses. Short, actively growing grass is more nutritious and greylag geese are often found grazing in pastures with sheep or cows.

durian, smelly but incredibly nutritious fruit, sold at a local market. considered the king of fruits by experts!
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.

Spent the morning photographing a variety of (high school level) cafeteria lunches in Howard County, MD. The school system just won a pair of national awards for their attention to quality and nutrition.
I originally purchased a used 25MP PhaseOne camera to use for portraits. But getting gratuitous depth and detail on process and product shoots like this is an added bonus. And FWIW, this 8-bit jpeg (full-size, here) does not do the 16-bit .tif justice.
There's some tasty, nutritious woodgrain in there if you check out the large size. This is the dock at my cousins' cottage.

Allium ursinum grow in leafy forests with nutritious bottom.
The plant blooms in May-June.
Most recently, it has been shown that the plant can also be used as a preservative as it has a very strong antibacterial effect. The researchers at the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences at Aarhus University's department in Årslev in Funen have shown great inhibitory effect on salmonella and listeria.
The long narrow snout allows selective grazing of the more nutritious short grass shoots between the blades of long grass whilst the high placed eyes and sensitive ears can keep track of photographers trying to sneak up on them!

The ethnobotany of the agave was described by William H. Prescott in 1843: Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agave
But the miracle of nature was the great Mexican aloe, or maguey, whose clustering pyramids of flowers, towering above their dark coronals of leaves, were seen sprinkled over many a broad acre of the table-land. As we have already noticed its bruised leaves afforded a paste from which paper was manufactured, its juice was fermented into an intoxicating beverage, pulque, of which the natives, to this day, are extremely fond; its leaves further supplied an impenetrable thatch for the more humble dwellings; thread, of which coarse stuffs were made, and strong cords, were drawn from its tough and twisted fibers; pins and needles were made from the thorns at the extremity of its leaves; and the root, when properly cooked, was converted into a palatable and nutritious food. The agave, in short, was meat, drink, clothing, and writing materials for the Aztec! Surely, never did Nature enclose in so compact a form so many of the elements of human comfort and civilization!
I made 2 giant fruit tarts with custard for my husband's "Goody Day" at his office. Unfortunately there were no leftovers so I didn't even get to taste it. I did not anticipate the glaze to be so difficult to photograph. I think I see myself in some of those blueberries.
One of the most nutritious plants that were prepared for humans and other living animals - legumes. So abundant in protein, resistant starch, fiber, minerals, complex carbs and provides zero cholesterol... and the list won't stop here!
This is lima bean, aka butter bean. This bean has pleasant creamy texture. I usually eat black beans but for the taste, this lima is my top. I usually simmer in water until soft and sprinkle only a pinch of celtic salt before serve. This is just enough to bring out the flavor and the sweet taste (it'd be just wonderful without any salt). Great for healthy snack, adding to breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you don't eat beans, it's worth tasting lima bean. You may fall in love❤️
The Pantanal has a plentiful amount of the hard Acuri and Bocaiuve fruit which the Macaw uses its strong bill to crack. These fruits are very nutritious.

My first attempt at trying to create a moody image, I'm quite pleased with the results. I'm new to photography and Photoshop so I'm finding it to be an interesting learning curve.
This was taken on a on a longish exposure and lit with an LED torch (waved it around) on an A4 black card backdrop.
The main problem was lighting the darker face without getting too much reflection/banding, and i don't want to use Photoshop too much yet.
Photoshop : there a a bad scratch on one eye (so tried to fix that), dust removal, darkened the cheekbone and grin lines, B&W and darkened background.
I wonder if this little rabbit dreams of green leaves instead of its usual winter fare - twigs and buds. You can see how many he has already clipped off, some half an inch in diameter. I watched him sniff at several before making a choice. It must be a nutritious diet because he looks healthy nearing the end of a long, cold winter.
