No, his name is not peanut, and neither he nor the peanuts are falling. It just happened to be a beautiful fall morning with some wonderful light and I decided to take advantage of his attraction to peanuts by preserving this moment on camera.
Trying to enjoy fall. Best done by not lingering on the fact that winter is just around the corner. Living in the moment springs to mind. This is one of those moments to be cherished and lived in for a long time after the moment has passed. My interpretation of living in the moment. Another great moment to live in would be drinking moonshine on Copperhead Road. Maybe even on a beautiful fall morning …
A small potted Peanut Cactus (Echinopsis chamaecereus) that originally belonged to my Grandfather from the early 1970s. Each year at this time (late spring) the cactus will begin to flower. Endemic to Argentina and very hardy.
Jay (Garrulus glandarius)
Stores an incredible number of peanuts in his crop and looks so innocent.
So tomorrow we're in tier 4 and, effectively, another lockdown - good job I have my hide.
One of our local black Grey Squirrels.
They may soon have to rename them as Black Squirrel as the black colour is apparently a stronger gene then the grey.
I appear to have found the only Robin with a peanut allergy.... Or maybe it doesn't like this brand of peanut butter.
This Stellar's Jay (Cyanocitta stelleri) had just watched one of his buddies hide a peanut in the snow, just visible on the left. This one went over to steal the nut, but got chased away before it could!
This little fellow is an expert in his field! A Grey Squirrel that loves peanuts. How does a Squirrel in this part of the country grow up to know that this is something good to eat. The Peanuts don't grow locally, so someone must have taught them that they are good!
I used sunflower seeds instead of walnuts and chopped raisins and a sprinkle of icing sugar for decoration.

This little fellow decided he wanted to try out some peanut butter that I put on the post for birds. He must have liked it because he cleaned it all up!
I put peanuts in a separate feeder so the squirrels would leave the bird feeder alone. Well, I didn't realize that I have so many squirrels. They fight with the Juvenile Blue Jays for feeder priority.
I tossed a handful of peanuts outside for the squirrels, but the blue jays got to them first. The squirrels were too busy trying to break into the seed feeders to notice the peanuts. Backyard bird.
She looks so innocent here, but I know she's up to something. She's been at the baby's breath again! I think she's got a jones! And maybe a date!
Saw a few of these peanut or groundnut vendors while walking in the more urban areas of Bali. Didn't buy any though.

The Bluejays and the Titmice who visit my garden love peanuts. They wait for me in the garden and watch as I put peanuts out in different places for them to find. It's like a game for them. Yet, the bluejays are very shy about the camera. I captured this moment from inside my kitchen window.
Details of an oil painting by David's Grandfather, Jack Lynch (John Fitzstephen Lynch 22/11/1874-7/10/1939). Jack was a coach painter. The boy's painting was used for advertising on an ETA Peanut Butter truck. David thinks he was told the truck was in Melbourne's Moomba Festival. Jack died many years before David was born.
"ETA peanut butter was manufactured at the ETA Foods factory in Marrickville, which started as the Marrickville Margarine Company in 1908. Charles Abel, the founder, began producing peanut butter in 1925 as an alternative to butter during a shortage."

Making donuts at home can be a delightful experience! Here's a basic recipe for classic fried donuts:
Essential Ingredients:
2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110°F / 45°C)
3/4 cup lukewarm milk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for rolling)
Oil for frying (vegetable, canola, or peanut oil)
For Glaze:
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.
Make the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, lukewarm milk, sugar, salt, butter, and egg. Gradually add the flour and mix until a dough forms.
Knead: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Cut out donuts: Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thick. Use a donut cutter or two different-sized round cutters to cut out donuts and holes. Place them on a floured surface and let them rise again until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Fry: Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C). Fry donuts in batches, turning them once, until golden brown (1-2 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels.
Glaze: Mix the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Dip the warm donuts into the glaze and let them cool on a wire rack.
Enjoy your homemade donuts! 🍩
Al-Mawlid Al Nabawi Al Sharif is the observance of the birthday of the Islamic prophet Muhammad which is commemorated in Rabi' al-awwal(12th Rabi' al-awwal), the third month in the Islamic calendar. This year it coincides with 29th of October. Here are some candy typically served in Egypt and other parts of the Middle east to celebrate.
In winter season, peanuts, roasted in the shell, are available and are a popular winter snack. They are imported from several African countries, or the U.S.
During eating some peanuts, I had the idea to show the interesting details of this fruit.
This little wood pecker works diligently to retrieve a peanut. I have fun photos of my wildlife friends. They love this wheel.

The Peanut-head Bug is quite large. It can reach a length of 85–90 millimetres (3.3–3.5 in), with a wingspan up to 100–150 millimetres (3.9–5.9 in). This insect has a protuberance at its head as long as 10–15 millimetres (0.39–0.59 in), looking like a peanut and showing false eyes to resemble that of a lizard or a serpent. Although this insect is quite large, it can be very hard to see. During the day, it remains camouflaged on the trunk of a tree.
I was really excited to spot this insect during a trip to Costa Rica. We took pictures of the insect from various angles to fully appreciate its incredible colors, shapes and structures. After the short photo shoot, we put it back on the tree where I found it.
