same bear as posted yesterday. He is young here and I'd imagine by now he is huge. This was taken in 2013 and if he's grown into his legs and paws, he is a boar to reckon with.
Here he is just across the river from me and I had a 500mm lens with a 1.4x on it. no crop or anything. Taken at 10:15 PM
Named for its loud ‘bob white’ call, this quail is a small chunky bird with short rounded wings. Males have a black cap, white throat and chin, and a white stripe through and above the eye to the back of the head. Females have a tan colored throat and no black neck collar.
Bobwhite quail live in bushy areas interspersed with fields. They prefer edges, fence rows and areas with vegetative cover.
Bobwhites are active during the day; they feed on seeds, fruit, insects and green plants. Pairs are monogamous with pair bonds sometimes persisting between breeding seasons. Males advertise during the May to August breeding season with a distinctive bob-bob-white call.
Females lay large clutches of up to 14 eggs, which hatch after 23 days. The precocial young are about the size of a quarter coin, and feed largely on insects. The chicks double their weight every 10 days can fly within 2-3 weeks.
Bobwhites are commonly seen in groups known as coveys. Coveys usually consist of about 10-30 birds, depending on the time of year. Every night, for safety, the covey forms a circle with their heads facing outwards, away from each other and their tails together. If a predator startles them, the covey flushes in all directions.
Bobwhite quail are a popular game bird in the United States. In 1970 an estimated 35 million of them were shot. In the southeastern US these tiny birds were instrumental in the preservation of some of the best examples of old growth high pine.
I found this male along Joe Overstreet Road in Osceola County, Florida.
One World Trade Center, towering over its neighbors, the tallest building in the United States....counting the spire, of course....
Came across a mass of mushies on our morning ramble, but this tall poppy stood out from the rest at 100mm. Hard to let go of old habits.

Tall, taller, and out of this world!
Nice to see our poppies all budding up nicely.
Taken from about 30 feet away - does using a telephoto 800mm lens with an extender that turns it into 1120mm still allow me to cheekily call this a macro? ; )
Happy Gorgeous Green Thursday!
Yes, Digitalis is usually tall, but these specimens, growing against our wood stack, are particularly tall and straight.
Light dusting of snow and tall shadows caught my eye as I drove past. Farmhouse on Wilson Road in Sussex County Delaware.

Reed is a common name for several tall, grass-like plants of wetlands. These were seen alongside one of the Fishing Lakes at Bransholme Nature Reserve in Hull,
Another support that persistence give results. Trees are super rare on this mountain in Dalarna, but this one manages just fine.
That tall shadow belongs to a short quince...no, it's not a pear. I've never eaten one before but I'm not sure you can eat them raw. I've had quince paste so maybe they always need to be cooked first.

Found in the south west corner of Western Australia. This is a member of the T macrophylla complex and can vary from blue to white to pink. Tall for an orchid with a lovely perfume. The flowers will open if the sun is shining, especially on warm days. Flowers quite late in the season from November to January.

I've posted a day shot of this ship but I feel like the night shot looks interesting. I just found out Galveston is offering day sails to tourist. Checked it out on line and it's $300 dollars a person. So, looks like I won't be going out for a day sail anytime soon.
