The Canadian Tiger Swallowtail is found in most provinces and territories in Canada, as its name implies. Its range extends north of the Arctic Circle in the Yukon, and to Churchill in Manitoba, Little Shagamu River in Ontario, and to Schefferville in Quebec. It does not occur in southern British Columbia, being replaced there by the western tiger swallowtail, Papilio rutulus, or in southwestern Ontario, approximately west of Toronto, where it is replaced by the eastern tiger swallowtail. It has not been reported from Labrador, but has been seen in western Newfoundland. It is seen in the northern third of the United States. Within this range, it is a very common and well-known butterfly, even more so around woodland edges. It is one of the most common puddling species and often hundreds will gather at a single puddle.

Butterflies seem to be in short supply this year so I was pleased to find this swallowtail feeding on the nectar of the honeysuckle.

Male White-winged Crossbill (Loxia leucoptera) feeding on spruce cones in the suburbs of southwest Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
The spruce trees were stressed due to dry conditions this past summer and produced a large cone crop this year. This resulted in a large number of both species of Crossbills moving into Edmonton this winter to feed on the abundant food supply.

WELL-MARKED gamebird. The species is generally wary because it is heavily persecuted in many parts of the region. Grey Partridges are Native to the region, out of breeding season are often seen in small parties that prefer to run from danger rather than fly. Favors open grassland which is in short supply in Kent, a rare find for me!

Arlington Row is one of the most iconic and photographed sites in the Cotswolds, located in the picturesque village of Bibury. These stone cottages date back to the 14th century, originally built as a monastic wool store. In the 17th century, they were converted into weavers’ cottages, housing workers who supplied cloth to the nearby Arlington Mill. They are now privately owned.

At 120 meters by 120 meters, Plaza Mayor is one of the largest urban squares in the Americas.
It is paved with huge rounded stones and surrounded by magnificent colonial structures and a charmingly simple parish church.
Only a small Mudejar fountain in the middle of the square, which has supplied water to the inhabitants of the village for almost four centuries, breaks the vastness of the space. Unlike most Colombian cities whose main square is named after historical heroes, this is traditionally and firmly called Plaza Mayor.
The carved groove in the stone is part of the water supply system that still works today to bring fresh water from a nearby spring to Machu Picchu. Planned before the city could be built, the hydrology system sloped at a consistent 3° from the water source.
A medium sized woodpecker named after its rufous color and found much across the country in deciduous forests. The birds apparently have a strong preference for Bamboo forests and the place I visited last week has plenty of them.
I had sighted this bird several times before in previous trips when it was hunting insects on the trees. They prefer termites and particularly Arboreal ants and larvae. The birds forage in pairs and are often seen together. One interesting thing is that the birds nest within the nests of Arboreal / Tree ants. We had seen so many of these arboreal nests in the forests - large brown muddy bulbous things on tree tops. I wasn't aware that these woodpeckers nest within them. I guess they have a ready supply of food for their chicks.
Thanks so much in advance for your views, faves and feedback - much appreciated.

The Catha plant (Khat or qat (Catha edulis, Arabic: القات‎ ) is a flowering shrub reaching full size in seven or eight years. Its crop – the new shoots and leaves – can be harvested four times a year, making it financially attractive for the farmer. It is easy to grow but requires ample irrigation to produce fresh and moist, young green leaves. It is native to the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Khat contains the alkaloid cathinone, a stimulant, which is said to cause excitement, loss of appetite, and euphoria. Especially the young leaves and stems are chewed, not eaten. Among communities from the areas where the plant is native, qat chewing has a history as a social custom dating back thousands of years.
Especially in Yemen and Somalia qat is widely consumed and often considered as a burden for the economies of those countries.
For example, in Yemen it is estimated that 40% of the country's water supply goes toward the irrigation of khat.

This highly attractive building was constructed in 1929 for the German Motor Company, an automobile dealership which had long roots in Jacksonville selling the Buick, Marquette, and Oldsmobile lines of motor cars, with Pontiac added before World War II. During the war years, the property also saw use as the Black Louis Filling Station.
In 1947, the Longstaff Motor Company took the property and were selling Pontiac and Packard automobiles. Later, in the 1950s, the building was the home to an automotive supply company.
It was after mid-century that the automotive use of the building ended and it was repurposed as Boyd Music, a popular business throughout central Illinois for their band instruments (including our daughter's). Since I took this photo, Boyd has moved into one of the old garage bays and now focus on instrument repair. Today the main part of the building is BLH Computers, a central Illinois business who sell and repair PCs.
Founded in 1825, the City of Jacksonville is the seat of Morgan County. The city had a population of 17,616 at the 2020 census.

À l'origine, il était connu sous l'appellation de mont Tombe. Il devait s'y trouver une pierre ou un monument mégalithique destiné à un culte païen, auquel succédèrent deux oratoires, l'un dédié à saint Symphorien, l'autre à saint Étienne, édifiés par des ermites aux VIe et VIIe siècles, ainsi que le rapporte la Revelatio ecclesiae sancti Michaelis archangeli in Monte Tumba. A la suite de cette première christianisation du mont Tombe, fut érigé un oratoire en l’honneur de l’archange saint Michel en 708 (709 pour la dédicace), comme l'indiquent les Annales du Mont-Saint-Michel rédigées au début du XIIe siècle. Aubert, évêque d'Avranches, installa sur le site une communauté de douze chanoines pour servir le sanctuaire et accueillir les pèlerins. C'est à cette époque que le mont accueillit, à l'est du rocher, les premiers villageois qui fuyaient les raids vikings. Ce premier habitat a dû abriter les différents corps de métier nécessaires à l'édification du premier sanctuaire : tailleurs de pierre, maçons, tâcherons et charpentiers. Puis il a dû accueillir les laïcs chargés d’approvisionner la communauté religieuse. « Malgré les nombreuses reconstructions qui ont, petit à petit, façonné le bourg que nous connaissons aujourd'hui, le noyau primitif du village demeure encore perceptible : il correspond en effet à une zone caractérisée par une organisation parcellaire relativement complexe et un enchevêtrement de constructions desservies par des ruelles tortueuses ».

______________________________________________
Originally, it was known as Mont Tombe. There must have been a stone or a megalithic monument for pagan worship, followed by two oratories, one dedicated to St. Symphorian, the other to St. Stephen, built by hermits in the sixth and seventh centuries, as well as the Revelatio ecclesiae sancti Michaelis archangeli reports in Monte Tumba. Following this first Christianization of Mount Tombe, was erected an oratory in honor of the Archangel Saint Michael in 708 (709 for the dedication), as indicated by the Annals of Mont-Saint-Michel written at the beginning of Twelfth century. Aubert, bishop of Avranches , installed a community of twelve canons on the site to serve the sanctuary and welcome the pilgrims. It was at this time that the mountain welcomed, to the east of the rock, the first villagers who fled the Viking raids. This first habitat had to shelter the different trades necessary for the construction of the first sanctuary: stonemasons, masons, stonemasons and carpenters. Then he had to welcome the laity to supply the religious community. "Despite the many reconstructions that have gradually shaped the village we know today, the original core of the village is still noticeable: it corresponds to an area characterized by a relatively complex parcel organization and a tangle of buildings. served by winding lanes ".

American Bald Eagle
The American Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is a bird of prey found in North America. A sea eagle, it has two known subspecies and forms a species pair with the white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla). Its range includes most of Canada and Alaska, all of the contiguous United States, and northern Mexico. It is found near large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply and old-growth trees for nesting.
The Bald Eagle is an opportunistic feeder which subsists mainly on fish, which it swoops down and snatches from the water with its talons. It builds the largest nest of any North American bird and the largest tree nests ever recorded for any animal species, up to 4 m (13 ft) deep, 2.5 m (8.2 ft) wide, and 1 metric ton (1.1 short tons) in weight. Sexual maturity is attained at the age of four to five years.
Bald Eagles are not actually bald; the name derives from an older meaning of the word, "white headed". The adult is mainly brown with a white head and tail. The sexes are identical in plumage, but females are about 25 percent larger than males. The beak is large and hooked. The plumage of the immature is brown.
The Bald Eagle is the national bird of the United States of America. The bald eagle appears on its seal. In the late 20th century, it was on the brink of extirpation in the contiguous United States. Populations have since recovered and the species was removed from the U.S. government's list of endangered species on July 12, 1995 and transferred to the list of threatened species. It was removed from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife in the contiguous states on June 28, 2007.

CASTELLANO
Palos de la Frontera es una localidad de la provincia de Huelva, AndalucÃa, España. En el año 2006 contaba con 8.415 habitantes. Su extensión superficial es de 50 km² y tiene una densidad de 168,3 hab/km². Se encuentra situada a una altitud de 23 metros, a 14 kilómetros de la capital de provincia, Huelva y a pocos kilómetros de la vecina ciudad de Moguer, ubicada a la izquierda del rÃo Tinto, muy cerca de la desembocadura y unión con el rÃo Odiel.
Palos de la Frontera es conocida como la cuna del Descubrimiento de América (como afirma en su escudo), ya que en esta ciudad se gestó y se preparó el primer viaje de Cristóbal Colón hacia lo que él creÃa las Indias. Zarparon del puerto de esta ciudad el 3 de agosto de 1492, llegando el 12 de octubre de dicho año a ciertas islas del actual continente americano que por entonces era desconocido por los europeos. Por ello, Palos forma parte del itinerario histórico artÃstico conocido como los Lugares Colombinos.
Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Cheers.
In Australian bushlore, the national stock route network is informally referred to as the "long paddock" given its geographic extent - "the longest paddock in the world". In times of severe drought, some graziers take to droving to keep their livestock supplied with pasture, moving their livestock long distances along stock routes, sometimes across state boundaries. So "going on the long paddock" is an Australian way of mitigating drought risk, a unique adventure in its own right, and known for meeting with new people along the way.
