A very very little caterpillar

Hallo,

bei einer Wanderung hab ich diesen Pilz mit "Nationalstolz" entdeckt.
Er zeigt sich in den deutschen Landesfarben Schwarz-Rot-Gold

View of the granitic rocks of the island of Caprera, in this area there are numerous pegmatitic cavities. Cala Coticcio, Caprera Island, La Maddalena National Park, Sardinia, Italy - photo Antonio Gamboni.

Dann gibt es bestimmt auch viele interessante Mineralien in diesen Pegmatiten?

Lieber Norbert fanden wir so viele interessante Mineralien, besonders große Kristalle von Rauchquarz: [www.mindat.org]

Hi all,

Myself & Heath Barnes saw this moorland sheep in upper Teesdale yesterday whilst on a field trip. I videoed the tornado, but I won't put a link to youtube here, as bad language is used (not towards the sheep or Heath). Should anyone with a thick skin wish to see the unusual UK tornado "roping out," go to youtube and enter teesdale tornado. Hit mute.... I'm sorry, I was excited.

Heath has a better camera than me, hopefully he'll show you some of his images of the tornado on this thread. The fascinating details of our field trip will, no doubt, be the subject of a future new thread from Heath.

Regards,
Rog

Nice one Rog

A housecat about to make a big mistake!

Michael - what was the outcome? Did Kitty live to prowl another day?

Maggie-Happy ending for all. After much loud clucking by mamma turkey, the cat thought better of it and turned tail towards the woods. A little hard to see in photo, but upper left is cat departing in defeat.

LOL - I recognize that feline posture - it might look like defeat to you and me, but kitty is desperately trying to appear disdainful of the flock and any interest we might THINK kitty has is purely our imagination!
