My world with Nature.

Photographs, and a few words about the birds that visit the garden and those that I manage to see.


Lichen fruiting.

Category: My wildlife images | Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2012 5:11 am

Not something that you notice very much unless you have an interest in lichens. This lichen, Peltigera britannica,Freckle Pelt, is fruiting.

Took a few bird images in Hawaii.

Category: My wildlife images | Posted: Mon Oct 10, 2011 6:58 pm

Most of the birds are introduced now as the Hawaiians killed off most of the birds for head dresses etc. Nothing exciting among those that I took as I only see the same birds as on my last three trips to Hawaii.

Marine life.

Category: My wildlife images | Posted: Wed Aug 17, 2011 9:38 pm

I had a couple of good low tide outings this year. This was the third year looking for marine life. With experts along to ID themm it makes things so much easier. I will probably make up a page or two to go with the recent pages that I have been working on. These were three new ones this year.

Back to the sea.

Category: My wildlife images | Posted: Thu Jun 23, 2011 4:26 pm

With the low tides at this time of the year, its time to look for those animals that make a living near the shore but just out of reach. Here is a seacucumber that one will see. The other image is completly different, when it is searching for food.

What a few things grow on.

Category: My wildlife images | Posted: Sat Jun 11, 2011 4:13 am

I've add a few more images and a little text to a few fungi and lichen photos in a web page. I have a lot of other sites besides the Nature Inn. I usually make up these pages and then we add them to the main site. You can browse them here What they grow on,

Fishing for a friend?

Category: My wildlife images | Posted: Sat May 28, 2011 5:46 pm

Well, more than a friend I guess. This Caspian tern caught this fish and brought it back to a female waiting on the shore.

Another great fungi find.

Category: My wildlife images | Posted: Sun Apr 03, 2011 5:28 am

I have a couple of 'Birds Nest fungus', but this one is not even on the list. It is a 'Fluted birds nest fungus' The other image, Devils Matchstick, I have shown one before but not a mass like this one. Both taken today

Very rare fungi.

Category: My wildlife images | Posted: Tue Mar 29, 2011 11:37 pm

This is very rare here, only usually found in CA and NM. We have been to most parks ans park like areas and this is a first sighting. It is an Arched Earthstar, Geastium fornicatum. It is only an inch high.

This gull, that they say is an Iceland gull, Larus glaucoides, has been at the local lagoon for a while. I have looked for it three times and today I found it. Very rare.
