Millions of tiny purple quahog spat (baby hard-shell clams) have collected between the ridges of sand on the tidal flats. These 3-4mm "seeds," the ones that make it, will grow into clams sometimes as big as a fist. They are all purple when they are tiny, but as they grow, they become all white on the outside. The inside of the adult shell can be all white, all purple or anything in between.

A tiny -but very noisy - Marsh Wren pokes its beak of the undergrowth to see what's up at the Theler Wetlands in Belfair Washington on Hood Canal.

Taken for the "Flickr Friday" theme of 6/24/2022: TINY.
I'm quite sure it is a toad anyway. But I'm convinced it's one of the cutest things I have ever seen.
These springtails were only about 1.5mm long, they were smaller than the Globulars I've seen, not sure of the ID but they look like a Entomobrya but don't know which one, can anyone ID please

I can't believe how many of these tiny, colorful little warblers have been showing up around our deck for the last few weeks. The Parulas are so little....even with their little tails only about 4.25 inches long. Some, like this one, look so lost, and not sure what is going on. Judging from its feathers, maybe a young bird, recently fledged, molting adult or exhausted migrator? So much to learn......
Bought a few Tiny Tactical weapons and accessories recently and I am loving the weapons attachment that I can choose from :)
Great stuff!!!!
Someone believed that it's ok to abandon a 2-3 weeks cat in the parking area of the hospital. My daughter thought differently.
So here she is, nb.16, Africa, on her's first encounter with Tiny.
Welcome to the tribe!

Flowers in 2023. Shell Creek Road, Central California. This is not a spot with huge display of wildflowers like Antelope Valley or Carrizo Plain. But while there may be no flower at all in those famous spots in some dry years, Shell Creek Road seems to be more consistent that almost every spring there will be something tiny and beautiful there.
I find these little weed blooms every Spring. Does anyone know their names? The purple one's petals start out white before changing over
This photo of a tiny European Skipper butterfly was taken on 23 July 2015, at Darryl Teskey's property. These unusual butterflies have such large eyes : )
"The eyes of Skippers are different from those of other butterflies. They have a space between the cones and rods which allows light from each ommatidium to spill into neighbouring rods, effectively increasing their resolution and sensitivity. As a result Skippers can fly very accurately from one spot to another. This different type of eye structure is one of the reasons why taxonomists place them in a different super-family to all other butterflies - the Hesperioidea."

On this day, five of us spent the day botanizing the land belonging to Darryl Teskey, SW of Calgary and W of Millarville (maybe a 40-minute drive from Calgary). This was the first time I had been there and I'm so glad I was invited to go - I would have missed all sorts of things, including a family of Ruffed Grouse and several fungi. These Grouse were the rare rufous-morph, and we startled them when we were walking through the forest in their direction. Usually, you don't see Grouse because they are so well-hidden. When you get fairly close (sometimes very close) to them, they suddenly "explode" from the tangle of shrubs and plants of the forest floor, making ones heart beat fast! We were taken by surprise when we came across a nearby statue of Saint Francis of Assisi, who is known as the patron saint of animals and the environment. A nice idea, I thought.
Our walk took us over grassland and through forest, many places treacherous with so many fallen logs which were often barely visible. I have never, ever seen so many tiny Skipper butterflies - there must have been hundreds or even thousands of these bright orange beauties that were flying or perched on flowers of every colour.
Fortunately, the rain stayed away until we started driving back to Calgary. Quite a lot of black clouds, reminding me of the tornado that passed through Calgary just the day before (22 July 2015).
Our purpose, as always, was to find and list everything that we saw - wildflowers, trees, grasses, birds, insects, fungi, etc.. Our leader then compiles an extensive list of our finds and this is later sent to the landowner, along with any photos that we might take. Always a win/win situation, as the landowner then has a much better idea of just what is on his property, and we have a most enjoyable day.
You can see how tiny these are in the 3rd photo before this one showing a bush full.
Extremely tiny bloom on a bush, maybe 1/4 inch (6.35mm) at most. This is one of the same super tiny blooms I shot before they were opening earlier this year and posted a couple photos. Very breezy then and very breezy on this one making for quite the handheld focus challenge, especially wide open. :) Possibly white panicle aster. Bush about 4-5 feet tall with very thin stems and lots of super tiny blooms.
Have you noticed that tiny houses are a big thing? I was watching a home improvement show where people were trading in their normal sized home for a tiny house about the size of one room, some of them were in a tree. No doubt, they are very cute but I wondered how can you live in such a small space with your spouse or kids and not go crazy. There is barely enough room to have a good stretch and a yawn in the morning. I was not surprised to read in a recent article that many tiny house dwellers are regretting their tiny house. Some are even feeling anxiety from living in such small confines. Thankfully, there is a cure, you sell the tiny house and get a normal house.
