Dusk from the other night.
A bit of #streetPhotography and #naturePhotography
I hope to make this city my city.
Gradually returning to mastodon a bit and sharing. Will try and interact with others more.
Who knows what we might discover...
Bit by bit.

My latest blog posts has three photos of the lovely & chaotic riparian woodland at Hollenbeck Canyon near Jamul. We had to cross the creeks a couple of times during our loop hike and they had a LITTLE more (murky) water than we expected... (I mean, who would've thought, after all this rain?🤪)
Lopa the #vixen standing by our back wall earlier tonight. It's been raining, but she wasn't too wet so she has somewhere safe to hunker down with her cubs. http://www.permuted.org.uk/photography/fox-of-the-day/ #fox #NaturePhotography #wildlife

Another storm headed into Southern California. I feel like we all complained to our mom too much about it not raining enough and she’s like, “fine, you want rain?! Here’s ALL of it!”

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.

Happy #VernalEquinox 😄
Here's "Spring in Blue and Yellow", with Engelmann Oaks and blue-flowering Ceanothus, photographed at Daley Ranch in Escondido, California about a week ago. (before it even was spring, officially!😅)
Oh and, I don't know why the Engelmann Oaks show yellow leaves in spring but they do that every year (normally their leaves are gray-green).

Hello. Have a good day.

Diesen #Totengräberkäfer 🐭☠️⛏️🪲 haben wir im #Garten gefunden. Die #Käfer vergraben den Kadaver eines kleinen Tieres & legen in der Nähe ihre Eier. Später fressen die Käferlarven den Kadaver. Gerichtsmediziner benutzen sie auch, um den Todeszeitpunkt einer Leiche zu bestimmen.

What I didn't realize until this encounter: Tufted ducks are really colorful – but only when viewed in bright sunlight and from certain angles, upon which their heads almost glow in shades of green and purple!

In Zurich, I saw a tufted duck that wasn't shy at all, readily approaching spots where people were throwing bread to the black-headed gulls, then diving down to get the leftovers (...or aquatic critters attracted by the leftovers).

I have been seeing at least one hermit thrush on my recent bird walks but unable to get a good picture due to them being on the ground.
I was able to get a good picture of one last year when this one popped up on to a piece of wood. I really like the barbed wire and green in the background.

My #Robin friend Ribin (first photo) has finally got a new mate (second photo)! She has been hanging around his territory for at least the past two days, but today I saw them together. Hopefully she will stay with him for the rest of the breeding season.

Welcome to Spring and warmer weather at long last! I need to get to the state park just north of me and see if I can find an Iris growing in the wild like this one I found there in a previous Spring.

Male Jawfish with a Mouthfull of Babies
Females lay an egg mass and after fertilizing them, the male takes the eggs into his mouth and incubates them for several days or up to several weeks for some species. During this time, he does not eat, and his activities are restricted to juggling the eggs in his mouth to aerate them.

#Bees consume large amounts of oxygen but don’t breathe through noses or mouths.
Instead they draw oxygen in through holes along their bodies known as spiracles and deliver it directly to tissue and muscles.

I thought these made a lovely couple! They are (I think) Birch Boletes, and they were growing under an old Silver Birch so the name fits.
They may even have been edible, but I wouldn't have trusted that ID enough to try them. Thanks to Mastodon I now seem to have LOTS of photos of mushrooms...
