Trinidad Leaf Cutting Ants Leafcutter ants are social insects found in warmer regions of the Americas. These unique ants have evolved an advanced agricultural system based on ant-fungus mutualism. They feed on special structures called gongylidia produced by a specialized fungus that grows only in the underground chambers of the ants’ nest. Winged females and males leave their respective nests en masse and engage in a nuptial flight known as the revoada. Each female mates with multiple males to collect the 300 million sperm she needs to set up a colony.Once on the ground the female loses her wings and searches for a suitable underground lair in which to found her colony. The success rate of these young queens is very low and only 2.5% will go on to establish a long-lived colony. In order to start her own fungus garden, the queen stores bits of the parental fungus garden mycelium in her infrabuccal pocket, which is located within her oral cavity.

Violaceous Euphonia – Female Female: Male: The Violaceous Euphonia, Euphonia violacea, is a small passerine bird in the true finch family. It is a resident breeder from Trinidad, Tobago and eastern Venezuela south to Paraguay and northeastern Argentina. The bird’s range in northern Brazil is the lower portion of the Amazon Basin and the adjacent Tocantins River drainage, with its northwestern limits from Brazil and the Guyanas, the eastern banks of the Orinoco River drainage in central Venezuela. It occurs in forests, second growth and plantations of cocoa and citrus fruit. The ball nest is built on a bank, tree stump or cavity and the normal clutch is four, sometimes three, red-blotched white eggs, which are incubated by the female. / A pairAdult Violaceous Euphonias are 11.4 cm long and weigh 14 g. The male has glossy blue-black upperparts and a deep golden yellow forehead and underparts. The female and immature are olive green above and greenish yellow below. These are social birds which eat mainly small fruit and only rarely take insects. The Violaceous Euphonia’s song is a varied mix of musical notes, squeaks, chattering and imitation. Members of the genus Euphonia are prized as cage birds and several are threatened by trapping, but this species benefits from its relatively inaccessible habitat.

This image won the I’m What You Make Me challenge on June 2, 2009. This image was featured in the Northern California Style group on June 3, 2009. This lighthouse memorial is located on the bluffs overlooking the bay in the city of Trinidad which was founded in 1850 and is the oldest town on the northern California coast. The lighthouse memorial is a replica of the nearby Trinidad Head Lighthouse. In 1949 the Trinidad Civic Club was the recipient of the California Grand Sweepstakes prize, Build a Better Community Contest, which was awarded by the National Federation of Women’s Clubs and the Kroeger Company. It is a memorial to those lost and buried at sea.

At different times of the day the Clematis just glows with the light of the sun….sometimes more purple, sometimes more blue/mauve..it was towards the end of the day when I took this photo…every year I keep a photographic record of the blooms in my gardens, and this year is no exception “In June, as many as a dozen species may burst their buds on a single day. / No man can heed all of these anniversaries; no man can ignore all of them.” / - Aldo Leopold / Clematis 3
This beautiful Fallopia from my garden, was the inspiration for my collage transfer, “Spring Awakening”, seen below…I take photos to keep a record of the blooms in my garden and do not consider myself anything but an amateur….later on there will be white flowers on the branches, but in Spring the leaves and red stems are simply magnificent “The wood is decked in light green leaf. / The swallow twitters in delight. / The lonely vine sheds joyous tears / Of interwoven dew and light. Spring weaves a gown of green to clad / The mountain height and wide-spread field. / O when wilt thou, my native land, / In all thy glory stand revealed?” / - Ilia Chavchavadze, Spring / Spring Awakening
