The items below were ‘the cream’ of the articles and websites I found this past week. Click on the light green text to look at the article.

Top 25 Wild Bird Photographs of the Week: Seed Eaters – National Geographic Society Newsroom – Quite a variety. Some are small and somewhat drab…but with the camera’s magnification – it’s easy to see that many are more interesting..

The best and worst countries to be a woman – Inclusion, security and justice. Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, and Pakistan are the worst….Norway, Switzerland, Finland and Denmark are the best. The US scored 19 of 167 countries.

We asked women around the world these 6 provocative questions – Thought provoking and a good read for the answers from women.

Computer science classes break down cultural barriers, study shows -- ScienceDaily – This was certainly true for computer science classes and gender barriers in the US during the 70s and early 80s….and then it wasn’t. Hopefully the same does not happen in the future to this project and projects like them.

Renaissance Nun's 'Last Supper' Painting Makes Public Debut After 450 Years in Hiding | Smart News | Smithsonian – A little art history -- Plautilla Nelli. The article includes pictures before and after restoration of the painting.

Through my Office Window – November 2019

/

There has been a lot of bird traffic visible through my office window in November. The Blue Jays are frequent visitors – at the icy bird bath (we’ll put the heated bird bath out soon), in the trees, on the gutter, and in the yard.

Both male and female Northern Cardinals enjoyed the seeds on the deck and from the new feeder.

The Downy Woodpecker pair comes to the feeder and finds seeds between the deck railings and insects(?) in the knots of the deck boards.

The House Finches have returned

As have the Dark-eyed Juncos. It took the juncos a few days to discover the feeder. They were finding enough seeds on the ground underneath it before that.

The Mourning Doves are always around.

The Northern Flickers (yellow shafted) rarely come to the deck but they are around – probably more frequently than I see them. The pictures are not as good because the birds are farther away from my window – usually on a neighbor’s roof or in the red maple. One picture shows the yellow shafts very clearly.

The White-breasted Nuthatch is fun to watch – sorting through the seeds until it gets a sunflower seed. The bird has a unique shape and behavior!

The Tufted Titmice move around a lot but are frequent visitors to the feeder. They always look like their eyes are too big their head.

There are other birds that come to the feeder as well. The chickadees come frequently but are so fast that it’s hard to get a picture of them.

The squirrels stay in the trees most of the time. They come to the deck for water – but are frustrated by our feeder that has turned out to be as ‘squirrel proof’ as advertised.

Temporary House Plants

/
20191111_140545.jpg

I have been trying to keep alive the plants I got at the Greater Washington Area’s volunteer appreciation day back in Septembers (posts about it here and here) so that I could take them to my daughter over the Thanksgiving holiday. 5 out of 6 have survived on some shelves in a south facing window.

Watering has been a challenge since weather got cold enough for the heat to come on; our whole house humidifier does not seem to be working properly. The mints need watering almost every day. I repotted both into bigger pots and my daughter will probably have to do it again…and then plant them outside in the spring. There are two kinds: spearmint and chocolate mint.

The obedient plant is blooming. At first I thought it was just one stalk but then I looked to the shelf above and discovered a taller stalk that is in full bloom on the sunny side of the pot with the chocolate mint making an arc over the blossoms (maybe I need to trim the mint so that the obedient plant gets maximum sun.

20191111_140518.jpg

The cardinal flower is just low growing leaves. It needs to be planted outdoors next spring to make its stalk and flower.

20191111_140637.jpg

Finally – the blackberry lily looks about the same as when I got it.

The plant that didn’t make it was a turtlehead. It got dried out when the heat started coming on and I didn’t catch if fast enough. It was not as resilient as the mints.

I’ll be glad to hand off the plants to my daughter soon….and then be back to just enjoying the plants (and birds) I can see via the windows of my house!

Witch Hazel

/

Some witch hazels (Hamamelis virginiana) bloom in the October-November in our area. I noticed one blooming earlier this month at Howard County Conservancy near the junction of the walk from the front of the Gudelsky Environmental Education Center and driveway. The shrub is one of the few plants blooming this time of year and the flowers are rather understated. The color of the flowers on this plant were a pale yellow. There can be a pleasant fragrance from the plant too. On the day I saw it, the weather was cold and breezy….I saw it in bloom rather than smelled it.

20191108_092457.jpg

Looking more closely – the flowers have petals like streamers. They start out curled up then unroll into gentle curves.

The shrub also had pods on it from last year. All the ones I checked had already ejected their seeds.

Fall Foliage

/

The drought of late summer and early fall impacted our fall this year. There wasn’t as much color and the it did not last as long. The leaves turned brown very quickly (either on the tree or the ground). I didn’t take as many pictures as usual but there were enough for a slide show to celebrate the season (below). Most pictures were from around home – sycamore and red maple and black walnut and tulip poplar. I noticed that the young black walnut at the edge of our forest kept its leaves longer than the older black walnut trees at Mt Pleasant; our tree must benefit from the protection of the bigger trees around it. The dogwood picture with colorful leaves and seeds is from Brookside Gardens. There are a few pictures from Conowingo and Staunton River too. But most of them are from around our house…the trees visible from my office window every day…that are now in winter bareness.

Enjoy the fall finale slideshow!

30 years ago – November 1989

/

30 years ago – I was still a ‘new’ mother…very aware that a pivot point had occurred in my life. I was still learning to use diaper wraps and how to take a baby into a restaurant or on a short road trip. I stopped wearing contact lenses; my sleep deprived eyes were better with glasses.  An adventure: I took the baby in a front carrier to a used book sale; I bought a few books but decided that even with her in the front carrier, being in a tight, crowded place was not comfortable for her or me.

There were some unexpected things too…like getting a pay raise that started the day after I had my daughter…while I was on paid maternity leave. I was sticking to my plan of not going back to work until she was 6 months old and then staying part time for another 6 months before being full time again.

The Berlin wall came down and I remember thinking that the world was making a turn for the better just as by daughter’s life was beginning…that maybe fears of global annihilation during her growing up would be less than in my early life.

1989 11 img131.jpg

It snowed in Maryland on Thanksgiving in 1989…about 5 inches at our house. We took the baby out in the snow for some pictures after the big meal. At first, she seemed very calm (maybe she was a little sleepy); she was well bundled in a snow suit, so we put her on the snow and made a baby snow angel.

1989 11 img130.jpg

Then she opened her eyes and decided it was way too bright (and maybe a little cold). That was the end of her first snow experience.

Mowing Leaves

/

I did my first mowing of the leaves back in October and will finish it this month. The oak was the first to drop enough leaves to mow…then the sycamore…then the maple. Overall, I mowed about 4 times over a 4-6 week period. This was the first year I attempted the leaf mowing strategy (rather that raking and carrying them back into the forest behind our house)…and I will probably choose mowing again next fall. It enables the leaves to decompose quickly at the base of the trees rather than somewhere else. And I tend to not contort myself in odd ways when I mow rather than rake/carry.

I did a before and after picture of the next to the last mowing. The red maple (to the right in the pictures) had dropped about half its leaves. I did not mow the leaves that fell on bare dirt (the shade is so dense that not much grows directly under the tree. Mowing the leaves uncovered some grass that was still green!

Some lessons learned this season:

The sycamore leaves tend to blow under the deck and need to be raked out into the yard so that they can be easily mowed. The trick is to remember to do that little bit of raking before starting the mower.

Mowing the sycamore leaves chops them up enough that they start decomposing rather than maintaining their size and shape well into the winter.

The leaves and other tree debris (acorns and small sticks) from the street gutter are more easily swept onto the yard to be mowed than vacuumed up and carried back to the compost (I am enthusiastic about avoiding carrying leaves).

Still TBD: Will we need less (or no) fertilizer for the yard since the leaves have been mulched into the grass? Maybe.

Luna Moth

/

A few weeks ago – a Luna Moth was found on the parking lot of Howard County Conservancy’s parking lot at Mt Pleasant. It was not able to fly very well (probably injured) so was taken into the nature center. The first time I saw it, the long ‘tails’ were still relatively intact…but I didn’t have my camera with me.

The next day it had managed to fly up to the ‘exit’ sign in the nature center and I had my camera. The ‘trails’ had broken off, but it is still a beautiful moth. The creamy green jade color is very appealing.

This was the second Luna Moth for me this year. The other was at a rest stop on I-44 in Missouri back in June.

Both sightings were cause for a little celebration!

November Sunrise

/
IMG_6126.jpg

Now that we are back to Standard Time and most of the leaves are off the trees, the sunrise is more noticeable from the front of our house. Last week, I was coming down the stairs at the right time and noticed the colors…grabbed my camera and stepped out on the front porch to take the picture.

Our oak tree is on the right…as is the silhouette of the corner of the house across the street. The trees have gotten so big that even in winter they will be part of the sunrise.

I like to start the day this way – with beautiful color – the calm of morning in the neighborhood before the school buses come through and most people are still at home.

When I came back in, our cat greeted me…seemingly curious about my morning activity on the porch. He’d probably watched through the window.

Virginia Museum of Fine Arts – Part 2

/

Continuing the highlights from our visit to the Virginial Museum of Fine Arts….

The Ancient gallery is dedicated to Egyptian, Greek, Roman and Etruscan art. I was glad the museum permits (non-flash) photography because there were lots of Zentangle prompts in the pots. Thinking about how old some of them are…how amazing it is that they survived…that they still appeal to us now. Some of them appeared to be more functional objects than art but may those pieces tell us more about the lives of long-ago peoples that things intended only for display or another special purpose.

2019 10 hf IMG_5866.jpg

I’d never seen an Egyptian bust that was intentionally made from a rock with a vein of another color across the face. It is quite striking and was the ‘style’ for a short period of Egyptian history.

2019 10 hf IMG_5895.jpg

In the East Asian gallery, there was black screen with botanical images. It did not look as impressive until I zoomed with the camera and made out the detail of the images.

Other items from the East Asian gallery provided a diversity of styles and materials. The small bowl is made from agate.

Back for a last look as some pieces from the Ancient gallery….gold piece from a crown, more pottery, jewelry and two small friezes.

For a short walk around, we saw a lot of interesting (and beautiful) things!

Virginia Museum of Fine Arts – Part 1

/

As we drove home from Staunton River State Park, we stopped in Richmond for a couple of hours to explore the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. It was not enough time to see everything….but we enjoyed the time we were there. I’ll be featuring the highlights of our visit in today’s and tomorrow’s post. Near the entrance was a new acquisition. See the butterfly shape first….then the hummingbirds! The artist is Susan Point and is titled Butterfly Whorl carved from red cedar, copper, and paint.

2019 10 IMG_5842.jpg

This ceramic piece reminded me of a fennel bulb!

2019 10 f IMG_5941.jpg

Beautiful glass from the early 20th century….from sconces

2019 10 g IMG_5920.jpg
2019 10 g IMG_5965.jpg

To lamp shades (dragonflies!)

2019 10 g IMG_5966.jpg

To windows. I took pictures of the whole window and then zoomed in. The waterlilies seem to come alive in glass the same way they do in life when one takes a closer look.

There were pieces of jewelry, inlaid piano cases and a crown of leaves that caught my attention to.

The Art Deco and Art Nouveau galleries were overwhelming at times. I found myself enjoying the graceful curves and sometimes the complexity but realized that I would not want this type of furniture in my home!

My husband preferred the ancient art….highlights from those galleries will be in tomorrow’s post.

Chuy’s Tiles as a Zentangle® Prompt

/

We stopped at a Chuy’s restaurant on our way home from Staunton River State Park and I photographed a few of the tiles because they were excellent Zentangle prompts.  

20191105_090714.jpg

I combined several ideas into one and made a reticula that I tangled in 3 orientations on Bijou tiles (2” squares). What fun! The same pattern with different orientations.

The idea reminded me of a symmetry course I took on Coursera back in summer and fall of 2014. It’s no longer available from Coursera and my notes are more about crystals and the semantics to talk about symmetry than the videos of symmetry in plants and tiles that were side lectures for the course. Still – I remember enjoying the course more because of those side lectures.

Staunton River State Park sunset and sunrise

/

Continuing the posts about our trek to the Chaos Star Party at Staunton River State Park….

The sunsets were not spectacular because the sky was clear. I took a few pictures the first night we were camping just before sunset…when the light on the trees was golden and the campground was buzzing with activity – getting telescopes and other equipment set up for observing.

The last morning in camp was the best sunrise – because the clouds were rolling in. The forecast was for the clouds to remain for the duration of the star party and we were going to pack up. These pictures were taken from the door of our tent. It was a cold morning and I went back in to drink hot tea, put my feet on a warmer pad, cover my legs with a flannel sheet…huddled in my camp chair to eat some breakfast and read.

Once the sun came up there was enough direct sunlight through the clouds for, the tent to warmed up and the dew to start drying. It was still cold outside the tent. The deflated our mattresses and stuffed the sleeping bags into their containers. By 11 AM we were loaded up and heading to the showers to clean up before we started the trek home.

Infographic: How Air Pollution Could Affect the Brain | The Scientist Magazine® - A quick and disturbing summary. The evidence of harm: particles like those produced by vehicle engines found in frontal cortex (postmortem), reduced volumes of white matter, slowed development of children, inflammation related damage to brain cells, and higher accumulation of Alzheimer-associated proteins.

Happier Babies Have an Edge - Scientific American Blog Network – The more children experience happy emotions, the more time they spend building skills and relationships that help them in the future.

900 Pythons Removed from South Florida – That’s a lot of snakes. Kudos to the Python Action Team. There are other organizations (government and non-profits) working on this too. I wish the article would have included information about what they do with the snakes after they are captured. Presumable they are killed.

Study: 95 percent of baby food contains traces of toxic metals - UPI.com – Not good. The full report referred to in the article is available here. I wonder if pediatricians are changing their recommendation when it comes to some foods (like rice cereal for babies).

Staunton River State Park – Chaos Star Party

/

Continuing the posts about our trek to the Chaos Star Party at Staunton River State Park….

The Virginia LOVE theme cares to the state parks. Staunton River’s included the date the park was established…1936.

2019 10 IMG_1949.jpg

There were various signs for the star party in the areas of the park dedicated to it. The field was full of tents and campers and trailers. We were in our roomy tent with a screened area for my husband’s electronics and chair….with the telescope just a few steps away. Some people probably were staying in the cabins and coming to the field with their telescope at night. We preferred a place to sleep near the telescope…makes it easier to lay down once the clouds roll in or the dew gets too heavy for observing. My husband had two clear-sky nights and had some observational successes (I slept relatively well through it all).

2019 10 IMG_1953.jpg

Someone did an excellent job with a pumpkin near the cantina.

We managed a short hike. We’d been hearing a lot of birds, but they must have been migrating through – stopping for the night on the water. They’d flown off by the time we were up and about. We did see a juvenile Red-headed Woodpecker making a hole in a dead branch (hanging upside down). I didn’t know what it was until after I got home and could check references. It was the drabbest woodpecker I’d ever seen! It will eventually have the distinctive red head.

2019 10 IMG_1959.jpg

The woodpecker was in some trees that were around the cabins at the park. Most of them were oaks and the acorns were plentiful….lots of food for the woodpecker and squirrels. There were some other nests around too but we weren’t seeing many other birds.

2019 10 IMG_1963.jpg

The sweet gums were full of color – reds and yellows. And the seeds…prickly.

2019 10 IMG_1967.jpg

A Great Blue Heron was one of the few birds we saw on the water. It was at the limit of the zoom on my camera.

2019 10 IMG_1971.jpg

I turned around on the beach and caught some motion in the leaves. A spider moving over the sand and onto a leaf where it was not as well camouflaged.

2019 10 IMG_1976.jpg
2019 10 IMG_2007.jpg

On the way back we noted the solar system model that has been set up starting with the sun (yellow orb) close to the observing field and extending along the road.

2019 10 IMG_2002.jpg
2019 10 IMG_5810.jpg

The morning we were getting ready to leave there was a sun dog. What a great serendipity for our last morning at the park!

Staunton River State Park Road Trip

/

Toward the end of October, the annual Chaos Star Party was held at Staunton River State Park. It was rainy early and then cloudy later in the week, so we were only there for two good nights. The drive between home and the park is between 4 and 5 hours. We waited to leave home until after the morning rush hour around Washington DC was mostly over.

20191023_105659.jpg

The Virginia rest stops on I95 prior to Richmond had a few late flowers…and their LOVE signs.

20191023_121835.jpg

We stopped for lunch at an Arby’s….and I enjoyed their chicken salad on flatbread.

On the way home, I appreciated that the carrier bag on the top of our car accommodated enough of the normal expansion of packing up after camping; we didn’t feel like the car was overstuffed.

20191025_180834.jpg

The drive on the narrow roads between the park and US-360 was full of fall color. And we relaxed into the drive home.

The drive on the narrow roads between the park and US-360 was full of fall color. And we relaxed into the drive ho.e.

I’ll be posting more about this trip into next week. What’s not to like about a fall camping trip (cold at night but no rain)!

Conowingo in October – part 2

/

Continuing the post about our trek to Conowingo Dam….

There were quite a few birds on the rocks just past the abutment. The camera zoom is put to good use to identify what’s there. I posted about the Bald Eagle and Black Vultures yesterday. The other two types of birds (other than gulls) were Double-crested Cormorants and a Great Blue Heron.

2019 10 b IMG_1795.jpg

At first, I noticed cormorants that were in the water – and yes, those are rafts of bubbles (soap?) in the water.

201910 cf IMG_1275.jpg

Then I noticed one that had caught a fish. It maneuvered it toward the rocks on the side of the river near us and the fisherman. The bird struggled to control the fish and orient it so it could be swallowed. I never saw the swallow….and it looked like it would be a tight fit. The fish was probably a channel catfish…and it was bleeding from its fight with the cormorant.

I saw another cormorant with a fish. This time the bird had pierced the fish.

201910 cf IMG_1626.jpg

Back to the rocks on the far side of river, the cormorants open their wings in the sunshine like the black vultures. Sometimes there seems to be an interaction between birds with their wings open.

There was a heron that I first noticed near a rock at the end of the abutment.

It then flew to the rocky spit of the central island. That place has always been a favorite for herons, but it was altered by the floods. The rocks that extended further toward the dam must have been rolled away by the floods last year.

We’ll be visiting the dam again before the end of the year….hoping to see even more eagles (and maybe a bigger variety of gulls too).

Conowingo in October – part 1

/

A couple of weeks ago we headed up to Conowingo Dam. This time of year the local Bald Eagle population is supplemented by birds coming from further north to enjoy the bounty of fish at the base of the dam through the winter. It was a clear and cool morning with the moon still visible near the treetops.

2019 10 IMG_1239.jpg

The water was much lower than earlier this year when the water was very high and fishermen/birds were elsewhere.

2019 10 IMG_1633.jpg
2019 10 f IMG_1640.jpg

Fall was in full swing. The drought had reduced the color but there were still burst of color and seeds to notice while we were looking for eagles.

My best eagle pictures of the day were of one that flew into a tree on the slope above us (i.e. we were between the bird and the river. I zoomed in for a picture of the head and the talons. The bird flew back toward the river a few second after the talon shot.

There are always a lot of Black Vultures at Conowingo and this time was no exception. They like the vantage point of some of the high structures on the dam and the abutment down closer to the water. Vultures are the bird version of a ‘cleanup crew.’ Based on the number of black vultures always around Conowingo, there must be a lot of carcasses (fish?) around there. This time we didn’t see any congregate near the parking lot gate….they were all out on structures or rocks…in the morning sun.

Now for some challenge pictures. How many eagles do you see in the pictures below? Remember that juvenile eagles do not have white heads or tails. They are clearly different than the black vultures in the pictures.

2019 10 v IMG_1697.jpg

There are 3 juvenile and 1 mature Bald Eagles. What about the next picture?

2019 10 v IMG_1773.jpg

In this one there is only one juvenile Bald Eagle, but I took the picture to show how distinctive the wing tips of the Black Vulture are. They often spread their wings like this --- very dramatic black and white bird. In flight the white tips are also visible and make them easy to identify when they soar overhead.

Tomorrow I’ll post about the other birds we saw at Conowingo.

eBotanical Prints – October 2019

It took be almost 3 months to few all the Revue Horticole volumes available on Internet Archive. The last 26 were in October! This month includes primarily volumes from 1897 to 1922. The last volume I looked at was from 1860 which did not have color plates (or maybe it was the scan that made everything black and white. This publication was for gardeners…encouraging introduction of new plants into the gardens of France.
