We had been away for a while, and when we came back to our old country house, I saw this “spot” of about 1 cm² outside on the kitchen window. I thought a young bird had crashed and made this, but later noticed that the spot had changed shape. Taking a better look revealed that the spot was actually many small spider babies. Sometimes close in a bunch, later more spread, then close again. I let them live there until one day the spot was gone, and now I have hundreds of small spiders around my house, I guess :-)
My dog did a very good job chasing the birds on the beach, so they flew exactly where I wanted them to be 😜

A female Northern Cardinal pauses for a split second as she lifts off from a weathered perch, wings spread wide in a graceful arc. Soft light and a clean, muted background highlight the subtle reds in her feathers and the intensity of that orange bill. A fleeting moment of balance, motion, and quiet beauty—caught just before flight.

For Record Store Day, I went to a few different stores and Bric a Brac in Chicago was again having a few local bands play. Spread Joy is a little bit indie punk with a fun energy on album and a more assertive edgy quality live. It's kind of crazy to think about how all across the world, there are so many bands playing all the time! So, in case you want to listen to a local Chicago band, here you are!
Also, I love bands like The Cure and Blur but I also think we need to invest in the bands that are harder to find. This one is worth it!

Despite the parachute structure of the individual Dandelion seeds being largely made up of empty space, it is believed their design creates a ring-shaped air bubble ("separated vortex ring") which slows their descent to the ground and allows them to spread further afield (and into my garden as an unfortunate consequence). It is thought their design is up to four times more efficient that a conventional parachute.
Laguna Hedionda (Spanish for "stinking lake") is a saline lake in the Nor Lípez Province, Potosí Department in Bolivia. It is notable for various migratory species of pink and white flamingos.
Laguna Hedionda is one of the nine small saline lakes in the Andean Altiplano. It lies at an altitude of 4,121 metres (13,520 ft), with an area of 3 square kilometres (1.2 sq mi). Salt flats and bofedales (wetlands) are spread over the periphery of the lake. It is in a very remote area where human habitation is negligible. However, llamas and alpacas are seen grazing in the area.

L’histoire du thé vert
L’histoire du thé vert remonte à plus de 4 000 ans, en Chine, où il est considéré comme une boisson précieuse et un symbole de l’harmonie entre l’homme et la nature. Après s’être développé en Chine, le thé vert s’est propagé à travers l’Asie et le reste du monde.
Le thé vert tire son nom de la méthode de préparation utilisée pour empêcher les feuilles de thé de subir une oxydation excessive. Généralement, les feuilles sont cueillies à la main, puis rapidement chauffées pour arrêter le processus d’oxydation. C’est ce qui permet de conserver leur couleur verte naturelle et de préserver les bienfaits du thé vert pour la santé.
The History of Green Tea
The history of green tea dates back over 4,000 years to China, where it is considered a precious beverage and a symbol of harmony between man and nature. After developing in China, green tea spread throughout Asia and the rest of the world.
Green tea gets its name from the preparation method used to prevent the tea leaves from undergoing excessive oxidation. Typically, the leaves are hand-picked and then quickly heated to stop the oxidation process. This is what keeps their natural green color and preserves the health benefits of green tea.

Here we have an old field type manure spreader languishing on the prairie. It’s day has come and gone. Farmers like to jokingly say that this is the only implement that the dealer won’t stand behind. :-)
I spent the past week north of Huntsville Ontario at a cottage on Loon Lake. With a pair of nesting loons not far away, I would have to say the lake was aptly titled. I would have to say that the Loon is one of my favourite birds. I just love their feather pattern, their deep red eyes and their beautiful call.
Here is the second of my Loon shots...this one of the bird shaking off the water from her recent dive. Hope you enjoy!

The Peacock Pansy (Junonia almana) is a beautiful butterfly species belonging to the Nymphalidae family. Found in parts of Asia, including India and Southeast Asia, it has distinctive markings on its wings, which give it its name.
Color and Pattern: The upper wings of the Peacock Pansy are golden brown with orange, brown, and black markings, including four eye spots on the forewings. The underside of the wings has a more muted brownish appearance, with subtle patterns that help it blend into its environment.
Behavior: The Peacock Pansy is known for its erratic flight and is often seen basking in the sun or flying short distances. Its flight is typically low and slow, making it easier to spot.
“There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.”

A male mountain bluebird crouches and spreads his wings in preparation for flying off the post. It gives a hop and a flap at the same time to get launched. It all happens so fast, the next frame in a high speed burst showed the bird well off the post.

My side acre. Southwest Arizona, USA.
Full frame. Dedicated Vintage macro film lens. No crop. No post processing.
If the wild bird could speak
She'd tell of places you had been
She's been in my dreams
And she knows all the ways of the wind

A stunning species that generates more blooms per square yard than any other Etlingera. The foliage is 6-9 foot high and prefers partial shade.
Plants of the ginger family called Zingiberaceae are a diverse group of perennial herbs with over 50 genera and 1500 species spread throughout tropical and subtropical regions.
All gingers are closely related to heliconias, flowering bananas, cannas, and marantas. Although gingers are found throughout the forests of Malaysia, they are relatively new to our landscaping industry. Due in part to their large showy flowers, they have gained rapid popularity as garden elements. Plus it's an excellent and long lasting cut flower.
