Colorful underbelly of a male Smooth Newt (Lissotriton vulgaris)
Visit just after dark. Smooth and Palmate Newts out around the ponds.
Came across this gang of 4 having a nice time by the beach at my workplace.

Gorgeous spores, at 1000x. There are spiny spores, then there are spiny spores! Mounted in KOH.
These photos were taken in the night at the Atlantis Resort in Reno, Nevada.
For me, my photography has allowed me to hold to part of my sanity.
My viewfinder grants me a brief reprieve from the reality of caring for my brother, Kirk, who is battling Cancer; and from the fear I feel.
My camera gives me a world void of my pain for a brief moment.
Please, (and I know I ask alot) but please continue in prayer for my brother to live.
I cannot imagine any desire of a life without him in it. He is my BIG brother. He has always been there.
He really likes these photos, BTW.
He is a poet, published and very-extra good at it.
Google "Tirepoet", or "Poetic Hermit". His name works too, "Charles K. Agers". He is very talented.
Thanks for letting me rant.
You, my Flicker-friends are a rock for me.
A Smooth-billed Ani perches in a tree at Millenium Golf Club in Arouca, Trinidad, Trinidad. Recorded on 03/08/2016.
River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken during the second week of October, 2016.
Still continued traffic around the storage areas along The Slang/Rehills section of the river bank, though not as intense as the previous month. Mostly of the traffic now is involved in the shipping out of the mounds of soil.
Yea, really. Who knew!
When I look back at the images of this section during the summer months, it's baffling to see how much the clean contoured profile of the river bank terrace has changed (again).
Seems like every time they do this, and we believe it is a 'finished' piece of work, they confound us later by ripping it up all over again.
I know there is value in maintaining this area as a smooth accessible strip. But the degree of attention they apply to this is then wasted by the randomness with which they undo all the previous work.
I call it the 'Biggest Sandpit/Playarea' in Wicklow, in Leinster, in Ireland.
The above photo has been shot with the Samsung SMART CAMERA NX20, which has been provided by Samsung Electronics. Co., Ltd.
A smooth green snake (Opheodrys vernalis) found in Ontario, Canada. These small snakes feed on smooth caterpillars and other insects.
It's actually a Smooth Newt which we come across occasionally in the yard.
The scrapyard is teeming with wildlife. Apart from horses and a 'feral' herd of goats, there are on different occasions...
Water fowl...ducks, swans, water hens, snipe, European water rail and, on one occasion, a kingfisher.
Just the other day I observed a sparrow hawk picking up a frog which proved to be too heavy resulting in the bird having to land on several occasions in order to get it's 'dinner' to a safe place. On another occasion, while standing with another person, a sparrow hawk dived into a flock of swallows, just feet from our heads, and took one away in it's talons.
Under almost every car you will find rabbits and now and then 'El Zorro'...the fox can be seen skulking about. The odd hare also turns up occasionally.
The diggings of badgers can be seen all over the place.
On two occasions I spotted the dreaded mink.
Pheasants can be seen almost every day.
Butterflies, darters, dragonflies, moths and other summer insects are always in abundance.
Environmentalists will tell you the abundance of frogs is an indicator of the ecological health of an area. Well, if so, the scrapyard is 'alive' with frogs and the odd newt turns up occasionally.
As for wild plants... too numerous to mention. Plants which you won't see on 'clinical' farms thrive here.
AND, the best part of all!!! The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) want the scrapyard closed up because it's a 'threat' to the environment?
Go to any 'regular' farm in Ireland and you will not see half of the wildlife that I have described here.
Smooth crabgrass. Digitaria ischaemum - whole plant. For more information on identification and control, visit turfweeds.cals.cornell.edu/plant/identify/264.
It doesn't get much better than this, a nice smooth crossing of the Mississippi Sounds on the M/V Niceville on our way to Pascagoula.
DD - GG Cup
Whether you wear it solo or match this little plunge-shape number with the comfy short, the unique design will ensure you feel confident and sexy all over _ even under the lowest of neck lines. The seam-free cups with built-in push-up pads offer great lift and shape whatever you wear on top. And, it’s available all the way to a GG cup and a 46 back.

Species # 792
The smooth-billed ani (Crotophaga ani) is in the cuckoo family. An interesting fact about the species is that one member of a Smooth-billed Ani group often sits on a high perch and watches for danger while the rest forage. Their diet includes many types of insects, including cattle ectoparasites.
I think it's a smooth newt but I'm not certain. It swam to the surface and started feeding on the fly just in front of it.
