I took many photos of Robins today. This little cutie was my favourite

Hey friends! We just came back from a great hike near #garmischpartenkirchen. We wanted to do this mountain recently but the snow in the upper part was too risky for us.
Today we went there again. Beautiful ascent, nice views. Some spray rain and a slippery, dirty descent. But at the end we even had some sun!
Now we feel tired and a bit sore 😉

Blue Dasher #dragonfly on a Red Yucca flower spike in our front #garden yesterday evening. Last year dragonfly sightings/photo ops at the house were very few and far between so I’m hoping this is a sign of better luck this year.

Some lichen finds, plus (what I think might be) a slime mould
* Various crustose species on the back of a gravestone
* Slime mould (?) that appeared within a few minutes of wetting this old gate beam
* Patterns on lichen on an old wooden seat
* A cladonia species growing amongst moss on an old wooden fence
Edit: Consensus seems to be that it's not a slime mold, but likely a fungus. Still interesting!

My fave shot from today, this Willow Warbler found a decent perch in some good light.

I mentioned walls of moss, but I am tragically unable to choose just one picture worth my delight at this short but intensely mossy path. You can breathe the green just looking at the pictures.
The current state of our garden: Cinquefoil, oriental poppy, California poppy, and lily of the valley

📸 So yesterday, there was a severe air quality warning and a severe heat warning, and then, at dusk, a line of severe thunderstorms moved through.
I looked out and everything had that bizarre pre-storm yellowish look to it, so I walked outside and saw this when I looked up.

Please allow me to introduce you to Daggerstrike Murderbeak, shape-shifting ruler of the waterways, stalker of the reeds and shallows, devourer of aquatic creatures.

This is the 2nd summer for my purple coneflowers. Last year it was about a 1/3 the size and this year is has already put on more blooms than all of last year.
Purple coneflower is a favorite of mine and a friend was kind enough to let me pull some out of his garden two years ago. That's my favorite way to garden: cheap/free and an early reward 👍.

For #ThickTrunkTuesday I have a small maple draped with moss flanked by the massive trunks of two Coast Redwood trees (Sequoia sempervirens). Photographed at Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park near Crescent City, California.

I started watching #Badgers at a local sett when I was in my teens. 41 years ago this Summer, I photographed these cubs emerging from that sett. Possibly using a Praktica camera or maybe an Olympus OM1, most likely with Agfachrome transparency film, and definitely with a flashgun! Camera equipment has changed since then and so have I, but the thrill of getting close to wildlife, and capturing images of it, has not.

Almost missed #MountainMonday
Today I figured I'd share some intimate rock textures from the faces of the Yukon mountains. The scale of these behemoths is hard to describe, but it also allows for some interesting patterns between the different peaks. To think that plants and trees are able to grow on such steep and rugged terrain. It's absolutely wild.

Feeling cute, will absolutely not delete later.
A picture-perfect Puffin gazing upwards, while taking a breather amidst the hustle and bustle of a busy clifftop colony on the island of Skomer. A penny for his or her thoughts?

I thought we'd visit a penguin colony and instead I felt on love with dassies! Just look at how stinking cute they are, chilling with giant waves hammering the shore just behind them!
