Iceland is always good for surprises. Nature adapts itself to the harsh conditions: colorful flowers grow on ice covered lava fields.
Background: Skalafellsjökull.
The white-beaked dolphin is a robust species of dolphin with a short beak. Adults can reach 2.3 to 3.1 m (7 ft 7 in to 10 ft 2 in) long and weigh 180 to 354 kg (397 to 780 lb). Calves are 1.1 to 1.2 m (3 ft 7 in to 3 ft 11 in) long at birth and probably weigh about 40 kg (88 lb). The upper body and flanks are dark grey with light grey patches, including a 'saddle' behind the dorsal fin, while the underside is light grey to almost white in colour.
The flippers, fluke, and the tall, falcate, dorsal fin are all a darker grey than the body. As the common name implies, the beak is usually white in colour, but it may be a dark, ashy grey, in some older individuals.
White-beaked dolphins have 25 to 28 teeth in each jaw, although the three teeth closest to the front of the mouth are often not visible, failing to erupt from the gums. They have up to 92 vertebrae, more than any other species of oceanic dolphin. Although the young are born with two to four whiskers on each side of the upper lip, these disappear as they grow, and, as in other odontocetes, the adults are entirely hairless. The humerus of the right flipper has been recorded as being longer and more robust than that on the left, indicating a degree of lateralized behaviour.
The white-beaked dolphin is endemic to the cold temperate and subarctic waters of the North Atlantic Ocean, most commonly in seas less than 1,000 m (3,300 ft) deep. They are found in a band stretching across the ocean from Cape Cod, the mouth of the St. Lawrence River and southern Greenland in the west, around Iceland in the centre, and across in the west from northern France to Svalbard; however, they are not well adapted to truly Arctic conditions.

Als Pracht-Storchschnabel, auch als Geranium magnificum bekannt, werden Züchtungen bezeichnet, die aus dem breitkronblättrigen Storchschnabel und dem iberischen Storchschnabel entstanden sind. Bei dieser Pflanzengattung spricht man daher auch von Hybriden. Alle Pracht-Storchschnabel Züchtungen sowie die eben genannten Elternarten zählen zu den Geraniaceae, also den Storchschnabelgewächsen.
Typische Merkmale dieses Gewächses sind der äusserst ansprechenden Blütenschmuck, die stilvollen Blätter und die besonders gute und kraftvolle Gesundheit, die die Pflanze ausstrahlt. Charakteristisch ist auch die halbkugelige Form der Prachtstaude, die zwischen 50 und 60 Zentimeter hoch sowie zwischen 30 und 50 Zentimeter breit werden kann.
Der Pracht-Storchschnabel besitzt schalenförmige Blüten, die als sein Markenzeichen gelten, verfügt aber im Gegenzug über keinerlei Früchte, da die Hybriden steril sind und somit keine keimfähigen Samen ausbilden.
I spotted this one while hiking yesterday and as you can see, I shot him from a lot of different angles. ...they are all the same snail. Heavy rain today and all weekend..so it's doubtfull I'll be out taking pics until next week.

Dactylorhiza majalis (Orchidaceae) 195 24
This species was first described from Dresden, Germany by Reichenbach in 1828 and was initially ascribed the title Orchis latifolia which after several reclassifications became the Dactylorhiza majalis we are familiar with today. Its name refers to the month of May which although accurate, is very much at the start of what is an early flowering season for an essentially montane member of the Dactylorhiza genus.
Dactylorhiza majalis is a widespread species with a range throughout the central European alpine region from northern Spain through to the Dolomites and the mountains of eastern Europe, possibly as far as Russia. It can be found in damp or wet conditions on alkaline or mildly acidic substrates in lowland sites or upland areas up to a height of approx 2000 meters.
It is a species that can vary greatly in its vegetative characteristics but seems to be strangely consistent in flower formation, despite frequent genetic ingression by other similar species from within the genus. The plant itself is robust and the inflorescence, although sturdy is not particularly tall or dense, carrying flowers that are not strikingly marked and appear to be more uniformly purple than Dactylorhiza alpestris which has a distinct and more extensive white peripheral area surrounding the stigmatic cavity.
The leaves are normally dark green and heavily spotted with purple or dark brown blotches on the upper sides, though this cannot be taken as diagnostic as there are recorded examples of both non spotted examples and those with heavy double sided blotching.

Diese robuste, widerstandsfähige und abgehärtete Pferderasse wird in der Wistinghauser Senne bei Oerlinghausen zusammen mit Schottischen Hochlandrindern zur Waldbeweidung eingesetzt. Durch Verbiss und Tritt sollen sie dauerhaft mehr Licht und somit mehr Wärme an den Waldboden bringen. Damit soll die historische Heidelandschaft wieder hergestellt werden.

Compact, robust, and big-headed warbler. Males are striking with a black hood contrasting with whitish throat, gray back, and red eyering. Females duller with a gray hood, white throat, and buff body. Common in many typical Mediterranean habitats including tall bushes, open woodlands, gardens, coastal scrub, and plantations; also in oases, acacia woodlands, and scrubby desert in non-breeding range. Usually first detected by its song, a fast, angry-sounding rattling "ctret-tret-tret-tret-tret" or "tetwtweer-tik-tik-tik" with whispering in between. The call is a dry "tseck."

The red-shouldered hawk (Buteo lineatus) is a medium-sized hawk. Its breeding range spans eastern North America and along the coast of California and northern to northeastern-central Mexico.
Red-shouldered hawks are permanent residents throughout most of their range, though northern birds do migrate, mostly to central Mexico. The main conservation threat to the widespread species is deforestation.
The red-shouldered hawk is a member of the genus Buteo, a group of medium-sized raptors with robust bodies and broad wings. Members of this genus are known as buzzards in Europe, but hawks in North America.
Five subspecies of Buteo lineatus are recognized, which vary in range and in coloration:
Red-shouldered hawks typically migrate alone, although they sometimes form small flocks of three or more birds. The species usually avoids crossing large bodies of water. While migrating, red-shouldered hawks are observed in soaring, gliding, and flapping flight.
Red-shouldered hawks search for prey while perched on a treetop or soaring over woodlands. When they sight prey, they kill it by dropping directly onto it from the air. They may cache food near their nest for later consumption. When in clearings, they sometimes fly low to surprise prey. Red-shouldered hawks, like most raptors, have very sharp vision and reasonably good hearing, with talons capable of killing animals at least equal to their own size.
Small mammals are typically the most important prey, especially rodents. Voles, gophers, mice, moles and chipmunks may locally be favored based on abundance. Slightly larger mammals, such as rabbits and tree squirrels, are also occasionally preyed on. Other prey can include amphibians, reptiles (especially small snakes), birds, fish, and large insects.
Is often how Snow Buntings are described - but you have to be if you spend most of your time in the Arctic Circle.
Pocos aficionados a las aves, dudarían en poder identificar al protagonista de la foto.
El herrerillo común (Cyanistes caeroleus), es una de las especies mas comunes y fáciles de observar y unido a sus bonitos colores y su hiperactivo comportamiento de fisgón y curioso es una especie muy popular tanto para los observadores como para los fotógrafos ornitológicos.
Su comportamiento curioso les lleva a ser siempre junto con sus primos los carboneros en ser siempre los primeros en descubrir los comederos instalados para las aves y su descaro hace que den siempre muchas oportunidades.
Cuando tenía instalado comederos para fotografiar a las distintas especies de aves que acudían a ellos, siempre me hacia mucha ilusión la visita de estos pequeños pájaros y podía comprobar como a pesar de su pequeño tamaño, no se dejaban intimidar fácilmente por otras especies mas robustas.
La foto sin embargo no esta tomada en ningún comedero, si no en un bebedero natural en pleno estío extremeño en mitad de una dehesa a primera hora de la mañana, buscando esa luz mágica.
Saludos.
The pedestrian street in San Gimignano is a picturesque glimpse into medieval architecture, flanked by ancient stone buildings with a warm, yellowish hue. The scene is dominated by towering arches, with the robust stone walls telling tales of centuries past. The street is quiet, almost deserted, enhancing the timeless atmosphere. The stone pathway is worn and uneven, echoing the footsteps of countless generations who have walked this historic route.
Amidst this serene setting, a small but striking detail catches the eye. Under the second stone arch, barely noticeable at first glance, is the vibrant red of a tourist's backpack. This single splash of color stands out against the muted tones of the medieval street, drawing attention to the lone human presence in the scene. The tourist, the only person visible, adds a subtle sense of scale and modern contrast to the ancient surroundings.
San Gimignano, known as the "Town of Fine Towers," is renowned for its well-preserved medieval architecture and historic significance. During the 14th century, the town was a vital stop for pilgrims traveling to Rome and became a flourishing center of trade and commerce. Its skyline is famously dotted with medieval towers, originally built by patrician families as symbols of their wealth and power. Today, San Gimignano is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, celebrated for its historical importance and its ability to transport visitors back in time through its beautifully preserved streets and buildings.

"To me the Fox Sparrow stands out as the singer of joy. Many birds are of this kind, but few are to such a degree as this inhabitant of the stunted woodlands of the North. The musical construction indicates it, for instance the dancing rhythm, the major keys, and the speed with which it fairly shoots through the central phrase. But deeper than these are certain qualities in his physical being and character, which make for happiness: his robustness and virility, his excessive activity in all his waking hours."
William Brewster (1883)

A robust cluster of Desert Mariposa Lilies (Calochortus Kennedyi) pops through the rocky ground near Haiwee Reservoir at the southern end of the Owens Valley.
This robust skipper was having a great time eagerly sipping nectar from the blooms of Autumn Olive (Elaeagnus umbellatus), a deciduous shrub native to Asia introduced into the U.S. as an ornamental plant in 1830.
Regrettably, Autumn Olive is highly adaptable and resilient spreading uncontrollably in the warming climate of the Mid-Atlantic states where entire alleys of this large shrub can be found along forest edges, in sunny clearings and meadows and along fence rows and roadsides. With enticingly fragrant flowers, Autumn Olive attracts pollinators in early spring and later in the fall it attracts birds that help to disperse its abundant fruit.
LARIDAE
Los láridos (Laridae) son una familia de aves del orden Charadriiformes conocidas coloquialmente como gaviotas o pavanas. Están estrechamente relacionadas con los charranes de la familia Sternidae, y más lejanamente con las aves zancudas. La mayoría de las gaviotas pertenece al género Larus.
Son en general aves grandes, en su mayoría de plumaje gris, blanco o negro, a menudo con señales negras en la cabeza o las alas. Tienen picos robustos, bastante largos. Las especies varían en tamaño desde la gaviota enana de 120 g y 29 cm, al gavión atlántico de 1.75 kg y 76 cm.

An exceptional 1966 Morgan Plus Four as seen at the 2026 All British Car Show held at the Merriam Marketplace in Merriam Kansas.
The 1966 Morgan Plus 4 was a classic British sports car featuring a traditional wooden ash frame, a 2,138cc Triumph TR4A engine, and a 1930s-style open-roadster design.
At the Earls Court Motor Show in October 1950, the Morgan Motor Company introduced the successor to its long-running 4/4 model, the Plus 4.The Plus 4 featured a reinforced chassis that was four inches longer than the 4/4, modern hydraulic brakes, and increasingly powerful engines over its production lifecycle.
By 1966, the production model relied on robust Triumph power. As noted by RM Sotheby's, “By 1966, the model was fitted with the 2,138-cubic-centimeter engine from the Triumph TR4A.” This inline-four engine generated roughly 104 horsepower, allowing the lightweight sports car to accelerate quickly for its era.
Key Specifications (1966 Model)
Engine: 2.1-liter (2,138 cc) Triumph inline-4.
Power Output: 104 BHP @ 4,750 RPM (approx. 117 ft-lbs of torque)
Transmission: 4-speed manual.
Body Construction: Hand-built steel panels over a traditional ash wood frame.
Suspension: Sliding pillar front suspension.

Dhanbad (Inde) - Les mineurs clandestins ont deux techniques pour transporter les blocs de charbon. On devrait parler d’anthracite, véritable nom du charbon de terre, considéré comme étant de qualité supérieure pour le chauffage. Pour les petits blocs, ils utilisent des paniers tressés - comme celui qui est sur la photo - qu’ils posent directement sur la tête. Un chiffon s’interpose entre la tête et le panier pour amortir les chocs. La charge est de vingt à trente de kilos au minimum. Question de rentabilité et de productivité. Pour le charbon d’un seul bloc, à partir de 50 kilos, dont l’usage d’un panier est rendu impossible par les dimensions du minerai, il est transporté directement sur la tête. Bien entendu, en bloc ou en panier, les transporteurs sont aidés par leurs collègues pour hisser la charge sur leur tête.
La prouesse physique ne s’arrête pas là. Il faut tenir compte du terrain particulièrement accidenté et friable, d’autant que les mineurs illégaux ne sont chaussés que de tongs, quand ils ne sont pas purement et simplement pieds nus. Cette configuration du terrain rend la marche particulièrement instable. Je sais de quoi je parle. Malgré mes robustes chaussures de randonnée, j’ai glissé à plusieurs reprises, provoquant l’hilarité - et la sympathie - des mineurs. Et encore, je ne transportais pas mon matériel photo en équilibre sur la tête.
Dhanbad (India) - Illegal miners have two techniques for transporting coal blocks. We should talk about anthracite, the real name for earthen charcoal, considered to be of superior quality for heating. For small blocks, they use woven baskets - like the one in the photo - which they place directly on the head. A cloth is placed between the head and the basket to cushion the shocks. The load is twenty to thirty kilos at least. Question of profitability and productivity. For coal in a single block, from 50 kilos, the use of a basket is made impossible by the dimensions of the ore, it is transported directly on the head. Of course, in blocks or in baskets, the transporters are helped by their colleagues to hoist the load on their heads.
The physical prowess doesn’t stop there. It is necessary to take into account the particularly rugged and crumbly terrain, especially since the illegal miners only wear flip-flops, when they are not simply barefoot. This configuration of the terrain makes walking particularly unstable. I know what I'm talking about. Despite my sturdy trekking shoes, I slipped several times, causing laughter - and sympathy - from the miners. And i wasn't carrying my photo equipment balanced on my head.
Arbusto robusto con forma de cono que presenta una corola blanca y azul. Es un endemismo canario que se encuentra en todas las islas. Las plantas de Lanzarote y Fuerteventura se diferencian porque sus lóbulos son mayores y más redondeados.
Se trata de un arbusto con forma cónica y ramificaciones que puede alcanzar 2,5 m de altura. La corola generalmente es blanca con listas azules, aunque en ocasiones son violetas, y de tamaño variable. Esta especie presenta una gran capacidad para cruzarse con otras especies del género. Es una planta hermafrodita. En la subespecie purpuriense los lóbulos son de mayor tamaño y más redondeados, y los estigmas (parte donde reciben el polen) más cortos.
Sítio Espinheiro Negro - Juquitiba, SP, Brazil.

A large, robust rusty lark with a short crest, a hefty bill, and a prominent rufous wing panel that is obvious in flight. The Rufous-naped Lark is geographically very variable, and there may be cryptic species nested within this complex. Pairs are resident in open grassland, grassy savanna, woodland, and cultivation. It is most conspicuous in the spring and summer, when it perches up singing a sweet, simple song of 4-5 notes such as “treee-leee-treeloo,” occasionally drooping its wings and jumping with a small flutter, exposing the rufous wings that it shares with some other larks. The similar Red-winged Lark is larger than Rufous-naped Lark and less compact, with a longer tail and blackish patches on the sides of the neck.

Un robusto tronco de abedul protagoniza esta escena marcada por la primera nevada. Las hojas doradas alfombran el camino, creando un contraste visual intenso con el blanco de la escarcha. La composición guía la mirada hacia un fondo luminoso y neblinoso que sugiere profundidad. Esta imagen captura la transición perfecta entre el otoño y el invierno.
Small rivulets of water flow down over these cliffs which border some parts of Route 480 here in Western Newfoundland and in the winter that water freezes … and over time builds up into some pretty thick chunks of ice. But as Spring progresses, the warmer (slightly 😀) temperatures and sunshine rots the ice and eventually it separates from the cliff face and crashes down into the ditch and melts away. Because of how it looks and the fact that it is usually one of the last vistages of a robust winter that seems to hang on forever in these parts I thought Bones Of Winter would be an appropriate title.
Update: Last night and early this morning we had a late spring snowfall of about 10cm that turned everything white again. ☹️Temps are supposed to rise in the next few days so it shouldn’t last too long.
