This Robin landed in a tree near my back deck, mostly I just see them on the ground. I was happy to get this photo.

The ruins of the Redcliff Radar Station. All the buildings are now crumbling and in ruin. This is the inside shot of the radar station. The stairs used to lead to the second level of the station but now there is just open sky. The station has been abandoned since 1961. Radar operators in the AC&W Squadron tracked the movements of aircraft sighted and passed speed, height and direction information to a Direction Centre (DC) and fighter interceptor squadrons. Fighter aircraft could be airborne in minutes after an alarm was given, and they closed in on unidentified planes by means of direction provided by the radar operators. Another of the Red Cliff functions was furnishing navigational aid to friendly aircraft operating in the area. Their detection of May-Day calls contributed to quick search and rescue efforts. / / More in this series / / / / / / / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography

Fire and water don’t usually mix, but in this case they seem to flow wonderfully together. Caney Fork River at the Rock Island State Park, Tennessee. (P.S. This is not a sunset photo. The color in the reflection is from the autumn leaves. It’s a little blurry because the water was moving).

Ever wonder where those little guys get their caps from? Here’s one just about ready to pop off and become a head-warmer! It is of course the state flower of California, Eschscholzia californica, or California Poppy. What I loved about this image most was the diagonal line made by the petal ready to be unfurled under the cap. Also nice colour contrasts between the orange, red, white, green of the poppy and the blue of the background daisies. Velvia scan

Features Urban Wildlife – 1/28/09 / #12 Great Features – 1/27/09 / Country Bumpkin – 2/6/09 / American Southwest – 2/3/09 / Squirrels – 1/30/09 I was out and about yesterday, January 29, 2009 and saw this little squirrel scamper up a tree. I pulled off the road into a driveway, rolled down my passenger window as I was on the driver’s side, and just started shooting. I got some great shots of her, isn’t she just precious? She was eating something – she looks a little chubby, maybe some little one’s on the way? I love squirrels. I named this one Frisky because before I was even born, my dad and oldest sisters found a baby squirrel and named it Frisky. My dad has old reel tapes of him and my oldest sister holding Frisky. Photo taken in the city of Oak Leaf, TX in an urban environment! The Fox Squirrel (Sciurus niger) is the largest species of tree squirrel native to North America. The Fox Squirrel’s natural range extends throughout the eastern United States, excluding New England, north into the southern prairie provinces of Canada, and west to the Dakotas, Colorado, and Texas. They have been introduced to both Northern and Southern California. While very versatile in their habitat choices, fox squirrels are most often found in forest patches of 400,000 square metres or less with an open understory, or in urban neighborhoods with trees. They thrive best among trees such as oak, hickory, walnut and pine that produce winter-storable foods like nuts. They are gregarious and apparently playful, often chasing each other up and down trees and across yards and clearings. They have a large vocabulary, consisting most notably an assortment of clucking and chucking sounds, not unlike some “game” birds, and they warn the listening world of approaching threats. In the spring and fall, groups of fox squirrels clucking and chucking together can make a small ruckus. They are impressive jumpers, easily spanning fifteen feet in horizontal leaps and free-falling twenty feet or more to a soft landing on a limb or trunk. Best viewed larger

It would look lovely matted and framed displayed on a wall in your dining room! / It is believed that there are only five species of Hibiscus that originated from Hawai’i. Other species found their origin in Asia and the Pacific islands. In the early twenties, the Hibiscus Brackenbridgei was adopted as the official Territorial flower of Hawai’i. It kept this status throughout the 20th century, but only in 1988 its yellow colour was defined as the official colour for the Hibiscus representing the State of Hawai’i. Before 1988, the official Hibiscus could have any colour. Additionally, it was not until 1988 that the flower could represent the State of Hawai’i, because before that time the territorial status of the group of islands was unclear. Hawai’i’s state flower (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) originated in Asia and the Pacific islands. Interestingly, it is also the national flower of Malaysia. Research suggests there were originally only five species of the tropical Hibiscus that were native to Hawai’i. Growers began to hybridize these native species with other varieties imported to Hawai’i, which produced the huge kaleidoscope of colours and sizes available today. There are several ways to tell the difference between the tropical and hardy perennial varieties. Tropical hibiscuses have dark green glossy leaves, sporting 3-4 inch flowers that are either single or double in colors of yellow, orange, pink, or red. Also, tropical hibiscus can have blossoms of salmon, orange, yellow, or peach with double flowers. Hardy perennial Hibiscus have foliage of medium-green with leaves that are heart shaped. Their flowers of white, red, or pink are much larger than those of the tropical Hibiscus. Many hibiscus aficionados increase the number of plants they have by using cuttings, a practice known as cloning or asexual reproduction. Select the best tips; look for good leaf color and a robust upright growing stance. Water the plants in the morning before taking the cuttings. Use sterilized shears. Count down about 4 leaf nodes to where the stem starts turning from light green to brown. Make each cut at a 45 degree angle just below a leaf node. Remove the lower leaves from the cutting, as well as any large top leaves. Dip the point of the cutting into a rooting stimulant, and then insert them into the growing medium only as deep as necessary to keep them upright. The cuttings should be fully rooted by the end of 6 weeks, and can then be transplanted. If the cuttings have been rooted in a green house, they should be hardened off before transplanting, by switching them to regular irrigation, and moving them out into the sunlight during the day, and back indoors for the night, for a few days.

This photograph was taken at Helldorado Days in Tombstone, Arizona. Folks in costume depicting the 1880’s or so are wandering around just waiting to have their pictures taken. I usually concentrate on the men, but this beauty caught my eye. Photographed with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28. “The Town Too Tough to Die,” Tombstone was perhaps the most renowned of Arizona’s old mining camps. When Ed Schieffelin (SHEF·e·lin) came to Camp Huachuca (hwah·CHEW·kuh) with a party of soldiers and left the fort to prospect, his comrades told him that he’d find his tombstone rather than silver. Thus, in 1877 Schieffelin named his first claim the Tombstone, and rumors of rich strikes made a boomtown of the settlement that adopted this name. During World War I, Tombstone was a major producer of manganese for the government. In World War II, Tombstone was extracting lead for the cause. After both conflicts, Tombstone faded into obscurity, just to be resurrected at a later time. The citizenry of Tombstone decided rather than depending on a vanishing mining industry, they would focus their time and energy on tourism and restoration. Good call! Many of Tombstone’s historic buildings are within an area bounded by Fremont, 6th, Toughnut and 3rd streets. Among them are St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, built in 1882; the Crystal Palace Saloon, one of the most luxurious saloons in the West; and the Tombstone Epitaph building, where the oldest continuously published paper in Arizona is still being printed. Western printing history exhibits in the front office are free to the public. Truly a Historical American Landmark, Tombstone is America’s best example of our 1880 western heritage, which is well preserved with original 1880’s buildings and artifacts featured in numerous museums. / “Lady In Red” has been featured in: / RETIRED AND HAPPY/October, 2009 / ALL THE COLORS OF THE RAINBOW/October, 2009 / VISUAL ARTISTS OF GREEN VALLEY/November, 2009 / / /
