Geese are useless birds. But, sometimes, their behaviour is interesting to watch. These two were walking laps around the pond - over and over. The one of the left constantly being harassed by the one on the right. You can see the feathers all out of sorts on the left one. Not sure what was going on between these two.

Photo of a Quicksilver Spider. This tiny spider is dark brown underneath, with a cone-shaped abdomen that looks like it has been wrapped in silver foil, leaving a narrow gap down the centre front.

If you take one of these spiders in your hand it even moves around in a similar way to a ball of mercury.

Moved by this passage from nonspeaking 13yo Higashida Naoki in his book, The Reason I Jump:

"To us people with special needs, nature is as important as our own lives. The reason is that when we look at nature, we receive a sort of permission to be alive in this world, and our entire bodies get recharged. However often we’re pushed away and ignored by other people, nature will always give us a good big hug, here inside our hearts."

Coast silk tassel in bloom. Long "tassels" of flowers hang in groups from branches with broad green leaves. Some conifer branches are weaving in to confuse things a little.
Flowers of the red alder trees also appear as hanging tassels. The trees have barely started to leaf, so the background includes skeletal looking trees with a green tint.
Little flowers of a fruit tree in an orchard in the community garden. One corner isn't native plantings after all.

While I see these Jays every time I go bird watching in the Rio Grande Valley area of Texas, their blue crown feathers are usually "slicked back" nice and silky looking. But not this morning...as you can see those crown feathers are standing up nice and tall. It gave me a bit of a laugh as it looked as if they all had mohawks!

Geikie gorge panorama

A more panoramic view of a section of the Geikie gorge. The high-water mark of the river in flood can clearly be seen on the gorge wall in the demarcation between light stone and its native, weathered oranges and dark ochres.

#photography #panorama #landscape #reflections #mirror #art #travel #Geikie #gorge #geology #patterns #nature #rock #ArtMatters #AYearForArt

A shot from water-level across the calm Fitzroy river to the escarpment of the Geikie gorge wall opposite. The frame is divided in half at the waterline, with an almost perfect reflection of the gorge and blue sky above in the river water. The gorge wall is an imposing, almost vertical sheer cliff of weathered sandstone, thirty or forty metres high, and very rugged. The high-water mark of the river in flood can clearly be seen on the gorge wall in the demarcation between light stone and its native, weathered oranges and dark ochres. A small tour boat can be seen near the far bank, dwarfed by the wall, giving a sense of scale.

I found a nice spot of lichens on a rock and identified some as Granulating Rocktripe Lichen (Umbilicaria hirsuta).
This is a rare and critically imperiled lichen here in Ontario, Canada.
To this day, it's the first iNaturalist confirmed observation in Canada with the evidence of the presence of soredia on this lichen. The evidence of soredia on this lichen is necessary to distinguish it from similar lichens and to identify it.

Geikie gorge wall, detail

The eroded sandstone wall of Geikie gorge on the Fitzroy river, Western Australia. This picture was taken in the dry season, when the scoured, more heavily eroded rock is exposed. The high-water mark on the gorge wall in the following picture shows the huge difference in river height between wet and dry seasons, and the reason the stone is so deeply eroded.
🧵 ...

#photography #art #travel #Geikie #gorge #geology #patterns #nature #rock #ArtMatters #AYearForArt

Water-level closeup of the heavily eroded and scoured sandstone wall of Geikie gorge. The dark green water of the Fitzroy river runs under a heavily undercut outcrop of pale, almost white sandstone, its original orange almost completely washed away. Slightly higher up the wall there are numerous rounded hollows and further outcroppings and strong horizontal cuts, showing both faults in the rock and witness marks of heavier erosion. The wall as a whole is monumental, but there are very few sharp edges, nearly every surface has been smoothed by the rush of water.

Happy afternoon, Mastodon!

Beneath swift clouds, glad glints of sun,
