For Macro Mondays theme 'Reflection'.
For Smile on Saturday theme 'Eggs From Chickens and Co'.
This image was arrived at rather accidentally while preparing for the Looking Close on Friday theme 'Eggs in Black and White'. All the eggs from the local supermarket are brown, but I wanted white, so I called in at my neighbour's croft where she keeps a few free-range chickens and ducks of various varieties. She very kindly gave me a few eggs that were too small to be sold, from some young hens that had just started laying.
One of my snails was very active and performed brilliantly very quickly - and the 1984 song by Queen came to mind!
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph. This snail wasn't in the least bothered by the broken edge of the shell. Some gardeners claim that putting broken eggshells around plants acts as a snail deterrent, but a study done by the Royal Horticultural Society found this to be of no use. Snails may be soft but they are tough!
In fact, eggshells are an excellent source of calcium carbonate that snails need to grow their own shells, so snails may actually be attracted to the broken eggshells for a nutritious nibble.
Tigernuts Prepared in Flavored Liquid
Well, here’s the shocker! Tiger Nuts are NOT nuts at all! They are tubers and they grow on the ground, much like a potato. They are nature’s way of delivering a natural, great tasting, nutritious, GLUTEN-FREE, ORGANIC, health-snack alternative that gives you that boost of energy you sometimes need. Tiger Nuts are packed with fiber, which acts as a dietary aid, full of vitamins, have zero trans fats, and are perfect for people who are allergic to nuts or are diabetic.
Are Tiger Nuts a SUPERFOOD Wonder Snack?
Well, pretty much, YES! We believe that there are no other health-snack products on the market that can offer you all the benefits of Tiger Nuts from one single source. They are the best tasting healthy snack food product that health-minded consumers, just like you, have been looking for to satisfy a snacking desire.

Ursprünglich baute die Mehlschwalbe ihre kunstvollen Lehmnester an Feldwänden oder Küstenklippen (heute noch auf Rügen!). Doch schon seit langem hat sie sich dem Menschen angeschlossen und nutzt rau verputzte Häuserwände unter geschützten Dachvorsprüngen zum Nestbau. Hier brütet sie oft in großen Kolonien.
Ortschaften und Gebäude in der Nähe von Gewässern werden bevorzugt, denn hier jagen Mehlschwalben besonders an kühleren Tagen nach Insekten. Im Flug erbeuten sie Mücken, Fliegen, Schmetterlinge und Eintagsfliegen. Eingespeichelt ergeben diese während der Brutzeit nahrhafte Leckerbissen für den hungrigen Nachwuchs. Quelle NABU

Originally, the House Martin built their elaborate clay nests on field walls or coastal cliffs (today Rügen!). But already for a long time she has connected to the people and uses rough plastered walls, sheltered eaves to nest building. Here, she often breeds in large colonies.
Places and buildings nearby waters are preferred, because here his hunt especially on cooler days for insects. In flight, they eat mosquitoes, flies, butterflies and flies. Insalivated, these are nutritious treat for the hungry young during the breeding season. Source NABU

Looking for something natural and nutritious for your horses or other livestock? Mathie Energy Supply Co., in Kawkawlin, Michigan, claims to have been blending feeds using natural and organic ingredients “long before the ‘green’ movement was popular.” And when you’re picking up your feed, you can stop by next door if you’re a guy and get your ears lowered too for just a measly 10 bucks. This place caught my eye when I was visiting the area, and though I wasn't in need of feed or seed, I decided to stop for a shot.

A flock of pigeons at sunset
Pigeons and doves constitute the family Columbidae within the order Columbiformes, which include some 300 species of near passerine birds. In general parlance the terms "dove" and "pigeon" are used somewhat interchangeably. In ornithological practice, there is a tendency for "dove" to be used for smaller species and "pigeon" for larger ones, but this is in no way consistently applied, and historically the common names for these birds involve a great deal of variation between the term "dove" and "pigeon." This family occurs worldwide, but the greatest variety is in the Indomalaya and Australasia ecozones. The doves and pigeons are called "squabs."
Doves and pigeons build relatively flimsy nests from sticks and other debris, which may be placed in trees, on ledges, or on the ground, depending on species. They lay one or two eggs, and both parents care for the babies, which leave the nest after 7 to 28 days. Doves feed on seeds, fruit and plants. Unlike most other birds, the doves and pigeons produce "crop milk," which is secreted by a sloughing of fluid-filled cells from the lining of the crop. Both male and female produce this highly nutritious substance to feed to the babies.

I call this one a filagree lerp. Lerps are the covers that immature tree lice spin to protect themselves while growing. However, the lerps are highly nutritious and form the main diet for many small Australian native birds. If the lerp is picked off, the young louse (Psyllid) immediately begins spinning another. Two othe types of lerps found in the Australian Capital Territory can be seen at these sites:

Everyone has been posting (and making Explore with them, I might add) hay bales. This is the SW GA version - peanut hay. It is rolled right after the peanuts are picked and makes very nutritious hay, which cows love. The litter on the ground is the remnant of the vines. Also we have a lot of clay in our soil around here making it reddish orange. I was on my way to town when I saw this and stopped on the spot because I have waited and thought to go back another time, and they had already moved the bales. I got dirt in my sandals trying to get this, but anything for a Flickr shot :-).
A finch of coniferous woodlands, this bird forages on nutritious seeds in pine, hemlock, Douglas-fir, and spruce cones. Their specialized bills allow them to break into unopened cones, They even feed their young seeds. They can nest any time of year where food is plentiful.
Red Crossbills are scarce as hen's teeth in Central Oklahoma and this is a new bird for our Oklahoma list. Hope we can relocate for more photos, but I'm not optimistic . Our beautiful world, pass it on.
From the recent archives: two years ago, we saw flocks of Pine Grosbeaks stopping for a few days to feed on crabapple and other fruit trees in town. This was an irruptive event, as their winter range is generally north of our location. Oddly, I didn't see any males, only females and immatures. Their markings are similar so I don't know which this is... maybe it's an immature female.

A bee joins a Zebra Butterfly feasting on a Passion Fruit flower.
From Bug of the Week -
I had the opportunity to enjoy the antics of the remarkable zebra longwing, Heliconius charitonius, as it visited flowering trees and shrubs along a trail through a swampy forest. Tropical butterflies in the genus Heliconius, such as the zebra, are notable for their longevity. These beauties live up to six months. Zebras and their kin evolved an interesting strategy to gather nutritious pollen used to sustain their long lives. The zebra flies a well-defined route through the forest visiting flowers that present a fresh batch of pollen and nectar each day. This behavior is called traplining and is employed by many tropical pollinators including bees, hummingbirds, and bats.
After collecting a gob of pollen on its long, straw-like proboscis, the butterfly secretes specialized enzymes to release the amino acids and other nutrients in the pollen. The nutrients are absorbed through the membranes lining the proboscis and used to produce eggs and maintain the zebra’s high level of activity zooming about the forest. In addition to visiting flowers laden with pollen, the zebra also searches for different species of plants in the passion vine genus, Passiflora.
These tropical vines bear the magnificent passion flower and following pollination, the passion fruit. Several species of passion vine are used by the immature stages of the zebra and other Heliconius butterflies as a source of food. These voracious caterpillars consume great quantities of leafy tissue on a daily basis. As a group, passion fruit plants are protected from most leaf-munching caterpillars and other vegan insects by a veritable witch’s brew of highly toxic chemicals including alkaloids, a family of toxins that include strychnine and nicotine, and cyanogenic glycosides, chemicals that release cyanide upon entering the body. However, using some clever metabolic machinery, the specialized Heliconius butterflies have turned the tables on passion fruit plants and now feast on their leaves with impunity. With so much munching by the larvae of the zebras and their kin, one wonders how the vines of Passiflora survive.
From the butterfly breeder/photographer - the passion fruit vines act as a 'host' for the zebra butterflies. I have many of those as well as Firebush which the butterfly enjoys. Adult zebra longwing butterflies feed on both flower nectar and pollen. The additional nutrients from the pollen enable individuals to survive for several months, far exceeding the normal two to four week adult life span of most other butterflies. Adult individuals often form small communal roosts at night. Sometimes they swarm around me - the first time they did that I was shocked.
Yes I was out in a preserve looking for a zebra on a passionflower when I took this photo - the bee was an 'extra'.
BTW - since this was photographed with an R7 - this telephoto shot (hand-held) was at over 500mm.
From the Florida Times Union :
...you’ve probably seen the flight of the distinctive black butterfly with bold yellow stripes, the zebra longwing butterfly (Heliconius charithonis). Since 1996, it has been the Florida state butterfly. What you discovered is the mature larvae feeding on its host plant, one of many species of passionflower.
You really can’t confuse it with any other Florida butterfly. This impressive 2 1/2- to 4-inch flyer with its striking pattern prefers warm, damp, tropical hammocks and thickets. Just the conditions most of the state provides, especially central and south Florida.
Me under this giant Baobab tree..............(credit Leo)
Adansonia digitata trees figure prominently into the cultures of people who live where it grows.
From highly nutritious food products, to fiber, medicine, water storage and animal forage, Baobab has earned the moniker “Tree of Life”.
Traditional African animist spiritual belief most often incorporates the Earth’s natural provenance, and infuses it with ritual; Baobabs represent ancient settlements, and the spirits of their ancestral owners become part of the trees. Often, animal skulls, wooden ‘fetiche’ assemblies, tokens of the harvest and other significant items can be seen attached to the trunks or amassed at the foot of the trees. Village meetings and ceremonial rites of passage integrate the Baobab.
flax, (Linum usitatissimum), plant of the family Linaceae, cultivated both for its fibre, from which linen yarn and fabric are made, and for its nutritious seeds, called flaxseed or linseed, from which linseed oil is obtained. Though flax has lost some of its value as a commercial fibre crop owing to the availability of synthetic fibres, flaxseed has grown in popularity as a health food, and flax remains economically significant in a number of countries around the world, including China, Russia, and Canada.
Physical description
flax
flax
Flax is a herbaceous annual. When densely planted for fibre, plants average 0.9 to 1.2 metres (3 to 4 feet) in height, with slender stalks 2.5 to 4 mm (about 0.10 to 0.15 inch) in diameter and with branches concentrated at the top. Plants cultivated for seed are shorter and many-branched. The leaves, alternating on the stalk, are small and lance-shaped. The flowers, borne on stems growing from the branch tips, have five petals, usually blue in colour but sometimes white or pink. The fruits are small dry capsules composed of five lobes.https://www.britannica.com/plant/flax
Perico - Lucina - Papallona de la prímula.
Dentro de los ropaloceros (lepidópteros diurnos) está la familia Riodinidae cuya única especie presente en Europa es la Hamearis lucina. En puntos junto al mediterráneo es univoltina, entre Mayo y Junio por la duración de la planta nutricia. Parece ser que en otros lugares más frescos puede haber dos generaciones, entre Abril a Junio la primera, y entre Julio y Septiembre la segunda, según la presencia de las correspondientes nutricias que principalmente se limitan a Prímula veris y P. vulgaris.

Within the ropaloceros (diurnal lepidoptera) is the family Riodinidae whose only species present in Europe is Hamearis lucina. At points along the Mediterranean it is univoltine, between May and June for the duration of the nutritious plant. In other cooler places there may be two generations, between April and June the first, and between July and September the second, depending on the presence of the corresponding nutrients that are mainly limited to Primrose veris, and possibly P. vulgaris.

Dans d'autres endroits plus frais, il peut y avoir deux générations, entre avril et juin la première, et entre juillet et septembre la seconde, selon la présence des nutriments correspondants qui sont principalement limités à Primrose veris, et éventuellement P. vulgaris.
Back in the day, the fields of California were so full of chia that in some places nothing else was able to grow. Growing each year from seed, the one-and-a-half-foot-tall plants produced nutritious seeds that served as a staple food for native Californians for millennia. Indigenous cooks cleaned the chia seeds, then roasted them by heating rocks and placing them in baskets with the seeds. Sometimes they were simply ground and eaten dry by hand, a food surprisingly rich in complex carbohydrates, oil and protein.
It's delicious! It's nutritious! It's the new nectar of the gods! Yes indeedy - champagne and carrot juice!!! Chock full of vitamins and what a kick!
Er, well, it sounds like one helluva thing to do to champagne but, after all, Bellinis are champagne and peach juice and they're fab. If anyone tries this new drink and lives to tell about it, please let us know how it is. :-o

Rosenkohl ist gesund und nahrhaft. So enthalten 100 Gramm gekochter Rosenkohl lediglich 30 kcal/124 kJ, liefern zugleich aber viele wichtige Nährstoffe. Das Kreuzblütler-Gemüse hat einen hohen Vitamingehalt (hauptsächlich Vitamin A und C), ist reich an Mineralstoffen (Eisen, Kalium, Kalzium und Magnesium) und enthält Glukosinolate, die als sekundärer Pflanzenstoff das Risiko für eine Reihe von Krebserkrankungen senken.
Brussels sprouts are healthy and nutritious. 100 grams of cooked Brussels sprouts contain only 30 kcal/124 kJ, but at the same time provide many important nutrients. The cruciferous vegetable is high in vitamins (mainly vitamins A and C), rich in minerals (iron, potassium, calcium and magnesium) and contains glucosinolates, which are phytochemicals that reduce the risk of a number of cancers.
Fully fledged and sitting on the wire with its sibling - out of the picture, to the right - this young Eastern Kingbird is still dependent on its parents for a nonstop flow of fast food. Today, grasshoppers are on the menu. Well, I have eaten grasshoppers and they're not bad!
Prodigious long distance flyers, these tyrant flycatchers winter in South America. I expect to see them returning to breed on the northern prairie in about three months.

I believe this could be the cutest silo ever painted.
This is located on an actual working farm.
In agriculture, a silo is a structure, typically a tall cylinder, used for storing bulk materials, most commonly for storing fermented feed called silage. Silage is made from chopped, fermented plant material, often grass or corn, and provides a nutritious feed for livestock, particularly during seasons when fresh feed is scarce.
Thank-you for so very much for your overwhelming support. I truly appreciate your visits.
Happy Clicks,

The common warthog (Phacochoerus africanus) is a wild member of the pig family (Suidae) found in grassland, savanna, and woodland in sub-Saharan Africa.
The common warthog is the only pig species that has adapted to grazing and savanna habitats. Its diet is omnivorous, composed of grasses, roots, berries and other fruits, bark, fungi, insects, eggs and carrion. During the wet seasons, warthogs graze on short perennial grasses. During the dry seasons, they subsist on bulbs, rhizomes, and nutritious roots.
Although they can dig their own burrows, they commonly occupy abandoned burrows of aardvarks and other animals. The common warthog reverses into burrows, with its head facing the opening and ready to burst out if necessary.
Although capable of fighting (males aggressively fight each other during mating season), the common warthog's primary defense is to flee by means of fast sprinting. The common warthog's main predators are humans, lions, leopards, cheetahs, crocodiles, wild dogs and hyenas.
Common warthogs are not territorial, but instead occupy a home range. Common warthogs live in groups called sounders. Females live in sounders with their young and with other females. Subadult males associate in bachelor groups, but live alone when they become adults. – Wikipedia
Tiny Sisymbrium officinale down through the ages has been hailed as a plant which, made into a syrup, heals hoarseness and other voice problems. In French one of its names is 'Herbe aux chantres', and Jacques Daléchamps (1513-1588) recommends it especially to choir boys. Our Bee, though, is voiceless but gathers from Hedge Mustard nutritious pollens.

We can thank the European continent for this common compost fly that first arrived here in the States about 140 years ago. On the other side of the Big Pond it would be called a thick-legged hoverfly. Both names have merit for if you look at the hind leg of this female fly you will notice that her femur looks very fat - or thick. Notice too the dangerous-looking row of sharp spines along the lower edge of that swollen leg segment. This female will lay her eggs in rotting dung or compost and that's what her young will live on - you could say the larvae help turn compost into fertilizer. Females like this one feed on nutritious flower pollen to help develop their eggs. Common compost flies are members of the large hover fly or flower fly family and are important pollinators of our wild flowering plants.
This is the week of medium-size ungulates with antlers. I've seen and photographed larger Moose in Grasslands... but not this close.
I spotted him while driving, at a location that has produced a wide variety of wildlife for me in the past. Caught a white flash of antlers through the forest of twigs. Drove on by, parked on the roadside, and hiked back, crawling the last 150 feet or so, using available cover. Found a position mostly behind some twiggy shrubs with a clean line of sight down to the dried up wetland, and sure enough, after a short wait, I watched not one but two of these big critters emerge from the thicket: a cow. followed by this bull.
They could hear my shutter, but couldn't see me clearly, if at all (the Moose here won't tolerate the sight of a human). The wind was favourable, so they could not get my scent. I had half an hour with them - more results to come before too long - and there was a bonus, which will be tomorrow's upload.
For those who wonder whether there is suitable habit for Moose on the prairie, take a good look at his surroundings. Willows galore! Those nutritious and evidently delicious willows grow extensively along the Frenchman River and in adjacent areas such as this. Food, shelter, and absence of predators (including humans who hunt) combine to create a haven for these huge deer.

The half-domes of "candy" are actually supposed to be nutritious, along with having catnip or silver vine to entice them. (You can see the video of Jimmy licking it below.)
They are easy to find on Amazon.com with a search "cat candy catnip"; lots of choices come up. Not all of our cats seem interested; I recommend wetting the tip of your finger and rubbing it over the dome, then put it to the cat's nose.
I have families of Blue Tits, Coal Tits, Great Tits, Gold Finches and Chaffinches, along with other birds but these are my actual regular garden/woodland birds at Long Acre Manor. As they've gotten familiar to me, they have become braver. The Blue Tits are quite skittish and nervous. As I garden and plant my vegetable garden, the trust is growing although they will never be as bold as my Robin or my Crazily funny Pheasant who squawks every morning asking me for food. I have provided these nervous birds with safe food places and boxes for breeding and tables throughout my garden and woodland with a supply of good nutritious food. I have been unable to catch an image of any of the Blue Tits till this image last week. Although taken with a 600mm lens I was actually very close. Its been so lovely to build up trust that they now feed in front of me as long as I sit quietly and just watch he'll hop quite close to me and I find such joy in this trust.

The broad-headed bugs within family Alydidae are mostly tropical and subtropical. They are true bugs, lacking chewing mouthparts. Their main food is seeds, which they pierce with their proboscis to drink the nutritious fluids contained within. The proboscis can be seen tucked under the face and carrying on backwards under the abdomen in this shot.
