The design of the dragonfly is over the top mohs. I have spent a good bit of time watching them when taking photos. They do have roosts they return to. Apparently willing to defend their favored landing locations. I noticed only 2 green dragonflies(100's of blue) this year and both of them were being beat up by a group of blue dragonflies. No peace in that world. The mulching blades had a long life considering what they went through. My place is quite rocky, figured the rocks would have damaged the blades after a few hours instead of 20 hours. Operator said they will sharpen the blades after my 20 hour job, just a touch up though. These mulching machines have become much more affordable to use in recent years. |

 According to Pollan the Peyote catus buttons are seriously endangered The North American Church blames illicit pickers for the dearth I’m not so sure they were always difficult to find it just may be propaganda to discourage over harvesting The Church is considering greenhouse cultivation Many consider that sacrilegious One must pay proper homage to the divine plant or it will repay with hellacious results mohsknohs O and I made a soap holder with tumbled stones on a mat It was really cool ! |

mohs Ed, you've been holding out on us. Didn't know about this until today. How this African Parrot Ended Up in a Cactus in Phoenix Arizona Wikipedia: "It inhabits dry, open country in southwest Africa. Its range extends from southwest Angola across most of Namibia to the lower Orange River valley in northwest South Africa. It lives up to 1,600 metres above sea-level in broad-leaved woodland, semi-desert, and mountainous areas. It is dependent on the presence of water sources and gathers around pools to drink. Escapes from captivity are frequent in many parts of the world and feral birds dwell in metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona, where they live in a variety of habitats, both urban and rural. Some dwell in cacti and others have been known to frequent feeders in decent sized flocks. Temperatures in Arizona regularly exceed 40°C (104°F) and the feral lovebirds have been observed perching in large numbers on air conditioner vents in order to remain cool"

No I never have Rockoonz that I know of Lee Thanks for the tip on Steele Park  I was just over by there today. Was thinking I need to stroll it Been a long time I think they have sundial or some sort huge well paid doodad It seem like a lot greenery had grown up in it. I’ll be searching woodpecker holed saguaro’s now As a side note: Indian School Steele Park is where the 2 newscasters helicopters collided in mid air. At least 10 years ago. They crashed right into the middle of the park killing the 2 occupiers of both helicopters. It happen on mid summer very hot day. So the park was empty and no one on the ground was hurt. It was very sad ugly event. But we have lovebirds so I will be smiling and clicking… m  stly Hey Lee Rockoonz This morning I done a stroll through Steele Wasn’t long before a paratweet flittered onto a tree branch. Did I get that picture? NO ! I hesitated because it was obscured then the bird flew. Stepped up on Snell Hill. 2 lovebirds flew over head. I watched them land. Rolled to that location They had flew the coop Good location, and now I know what I’m looking for … |

Colonies of South American monk parakeets have been thriving through New England winters for over fifty years. They build huge nests and a fondness for light towers and utility poles is a perennial problem.

this event really bothered me as a fair citizen in what can be a brutal city camelback tragedy Just to add The Boston mother is furious and I don't blame her For a month the holes in the story have me bothered. I didn't think anything malicious happened. We may be corrupt. But not quite to that level O Ed doesn't your naiveté ever end... ha Al tho gross negligence certainly occurred Most likely these twi partied hard the night before And went off on ill advised dumb first date brutal heat lets take no water hike. Talk about can;t find your butt with both hands to wipe stupidity. Ha Well honest dumb deadly mistakes can happen fast Sorry for this loss At least I'm little more settled about this event It really was bothering me ... |
