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?🤪)

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.

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).

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!

Photograph of a tufted duck, its head glowing partially green, partially purple, looking rightwards.

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.

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.

Finnish photographer Jani Ylinampa did a series of four photos of Kotisaari, showing the island from a drone’s point of view for each of the four seasons (from left to right): spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

#NaturePhotography #Drone #Art #Finland

https://www.boredpanda.com/kotisaari-island-finland-all-seasons-jani-ylinampa/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic

Small, teardrop shaped island with five buildings of various sizes (possibly a house with barns and outbuildings) on the lower right side. The point of the drop has a little round pond, then a very small, nearly enclosed inlet. There are trees on the left, below the closed side of the inlet and a series of shrubs around the edges of the island. Spring is browned grass and leafless trees and shrubs. There is still a bit of ice on the surface of the pond and inlet.
Same as island but in summer. Looks like it is floating in the sky (which is a near mirror reflection of deep blue puffy clouds).  The vegetation is all a bright and vibrant green. There are three, nearly hidden canoes laying keel up in the lower right. Slightly above that is a brand new L-shaped floating dock with a green fishing net spread across it, drying in the sun.
Fall is browning grass and the trees and shrubs are about halfway shifted to a crisp gold. There are three canoes in a row, keels up in the lower left, just below a newish looking L-shaped floating dock.
The island in winter. The surrounding water and the pond / inlet are iced over. There is a light coat of snow on everything. There are long shadows slanting down on the left across the ice from the sun shining through the leafless trees and shrubs.

Aerial photo collage of a pear formed island in four seasons. A spring (brown ground, dark water), summer (green, bright grass, clear water, clouds seen as in mirror from the reflection of the water), winter, (mostly white, frozen lake) and fall, green and brown ground, dark blue water. Beautiful photos.

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...

Grey heron and cormorant, two of my favourite seabirds, face off on a boardwalk beside the River Shannon in Limerick

#Limerick #Shannon #river #birds #seabirds #GreyHeron #heron #cormorant #nature #wildlife #NaturePhotography

The River Shannon running through Limerick city, with a row of two- and three-storey red-brick houses clustered along the far bank. In the foreground is a narrow boardwalk alongside the river, with a Grey heron on the left and a cormorant on the right, standing facing each other a few metres apart. They're probably indifferent to each other, but it looks like a Western stand-off.
