Anders (or Andreas) Dahl (17 March 1751 in Varnhem, Västergötland – 25 May 1789) was a Swedish botanist and student of Carl Linnaeus. The dahlia flower is named after him.
The naming of the dahlia after Dahl has long been a subject of some confusion. Many sources state that the name was bestowed by Linnaeus. However, Linnaeus died in 1778, more than eleven years before the plant was introduced into Europe, so he could not have been the one to honour his former student. It is most probable that first attempt to scientifically define the genus was done by Abbe Antonio Jose Cavanilles, Director of the Royal Gardens of Madrid, who received the first specimens from Mexico in 1791, two years after Dahl's death.
One source says the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains range is about 1,000 km (620 mi) in length. Its highest point is 7,090 m (23,260 ft) located 100 km (62 mi) to the northwest of Lhasa. The range is parallel to the Himalayas in the Transhimalayas, and north of the Brahmaputra River. [3] Another source says the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains extend 460 miles (740 km) from Nyêmo County in the west to Ranwu County (the southwestern part of Baxoi County) in the east.
Its highest peak is Mount Nyenchen Tanglha (Nyainqêntanglha Feng) at 7,162 metres (23,497 ft).[4]
The southern side of the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains is precipitous, and falls by around 2,000 metres (6,600 ft), while the northern side is fairly level and descends about 1,000 metres (3,300 ft). Most of the mountains are below 6,500 metres (21,300 ft).[5] They contain 7080 glaciers covering an area of 10,700 square kilometres (4,100 sq mi).[4]
The Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains have an average latitude of 30°30'N and a longitude between 90°E and 97°E. Together with the Gangdise Shan located further west, it forms the Transhimalaya [a] which runs parallel to the Himalayas north of the Yarlung Tsangpo River.
The Drukla Chu river rises in the Nyenchen Tanglha Mountains, where it is called the Song Chu river, and joins the Gyamda Chu river. The combined rivers run about 100 kilometres (62 mi) southeast to the Yarlung Tsangpo river.

The newest coal mine in the US, built in 2009 is now loading upwards of 53,000 tons of coal a day for export. The mine is not without controversy however. Back in 2015, when the demand for coal was soft and the future of this new mine was in jeopardy, it was discovered that mine executives had embezzled over 20 million dollars. Furthermore, after building one of the most expensive houses in Montana, dubbed the Billings Castle (valued at 17 million dollars) one of the executives faked his own abduction, including telling the police that members of the Pagan motorcycle club had asked for coal train schedules because they wanted to ship methamphetamine by rail. He was found and charged along with others. With all this behind them, the mine continues to produce at a rate that is quite impressive given its size. Seen here winding around the double loop, this train is about 2/3's loaded and will soon begin the steep climb out of the mine back to civilization.
We snowshoed out to Source Lake. Only a few feet of snow made for an interesting trip as there was a lot of running water and holes in the snow. But it was beautiful. Snoqualmie Mountain glowed in the sun in the background as the fog swirled around.
A mushroom, or toadstool, is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground, on soil, or on its food source. The standard for the name mushroom is the cultivated white button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus; hence the word mushroom is most often applied to those fungi (Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes) that have a stem (stipe), a cap (pileus), and gills (lamellae, sing. lamella) on the underside of the cap. Mushroom also describes a variety of other gilled fungi, with or without stems, therefore the term is used to describe the fleshy fruiting bodies of some Ascomycota. These gills produce microscopic spores that help the fungus spread across the ground or its occupant surface. Forms deviating from the standard morphology usually have more specific names, such as bolete, puffball, stinkhorn, and morel, and gilled mushrooms themselves are often called agarics in reference to their similarity to Agaricus or their order Agaricales. By extension, the term mushroom can also refer to either the entire fungus when in culture, the thallus (called a mycelium) of species forming the fruiting bodies called mushrooms, or the species itself. 20063

Being only half grown this young Bank Vole living in a stick pile was tiny. It was so cautious and alert and moved incredibly quickly. Not surprising though, because it has so many predators. Voles are a major food source for owls, raptors, foxes, weasels and the list goes on.
Because of this they are able to breed four times per year with about four young in each litter. In less than two months these young are able to produce their own litters.
I think they are beautiful little animals.

L'avocette élégante vit dans une grande partie de l'Europe, son territoire se poursuit dans l'ouest et le centre de l'Asie jusqu'au sud-est de la Sibérie ainsi que jusqu'en Mandchourie, dans le nord-est de la Chine.
Elle consomme surtout des insectes aquatiques, des vers et des petits crustacés vivant en eau saumâtre. L'avocette recherche sa nourriture dans l'eau, à l'aide de son bec incurvé et très sensible. Sa méthode est originale : elle entrouvre le bec et écume l'eau en surface. Pour cela, elle manœuvre le bec dans dans un va-et-vient latéral tout en filtrant les aliments. L'avocette peut aussi basculer comme un canard pour chercher sa nourriture en eau plus profonde. Jusqu'à ce que son bec soit nettement retroussé, le jeune se contente de picorer.
L'espèce est menacée principalement par la destruction des habitats d'alimentation, de nidification et d'hivernage due à l'assèchement et à la transformation des lagunes saumâtres et des salines, les dérangements sur les lieux de nidification et le braconnage.
Les zones humides sont détériorées par l'usage des insecticides ; heureusement cette espèce est capable de s'adapter à des habitats ayant subi une baisse de qualité raisonnable. Comme 90% des migrateurs européens sont concentrés sur moins de 10 sites, une protection efficace de ces endroits est absolument essentielle.

The elegant avocet lives in a large part of Europe, its territory continues in the west and the center of Asia to the south-east of Siberia as well as to Manchuria, in the northeast from China.
It consumes mainly aquatic insects, worms and small crustaceans living in brackish water. The avocet searches for food in the water with its curved, very sensitive beak. His method is original: it opens the beak and scums the water surface. For this, it maneuvers the beak in a back and forth side while filtering food. The avocet may also tip over like a duck to forage in deeper water. Until his bill is clearly rolled up, the young is content to peck.
The species is threatened mainly by the destruction of feeding, nesting and overwintering habitats due to the drying up and transformation of brackish lagoons and salt marshes, disturbance of nesting sites and poaching.
Wetlands are deteriorated by the use of insecticides; Fortunately this species is able to adapt to habitats that have suffered a reasonable drop in quality. As 90% of European migrants are concentrated in less than 10 sites, effective protection of these places is absolutely essential.

The Tallest Man on Earth
I'm just a dreamer but I'm hanging on
Though I am nothing big to offer
I watch the birds, how they dive in then gone
It's like nothing in this world's ever still
And I'm just a shadow of your thoughts in me
But sun is setting, shadows growing
A long cast figure will turn into night
It's like nothing in this world ever sleeps
Oh sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
And why can't that always be
Tossing aside from your birches crown
Just enough dark to see
How you're the light over me
And by your side, girl, where the acres grow
Into the strong and stunning meadow
A cowboy stumbling in the finest field
And nothing good out there won't be old
Oh sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
And why can't that always be
Tossing aside from your birches crown
Just enough dark to see
How you're the light over me
Sometimes the blues is just a passing bird
And why can't that always be
Tossing aside from your birches crown
Just enough dark to see
How you're the light over me

The Lukasenhäusle (Luke's cottage) was built in 1715 as retirement cottage ("Leibgedinghaus") for the neighboring Kolmenhof and in the vicinity of the source of the Danube (see above) and the St. Martin's Chapel.
It is almost preserved in its original state
