  • This boisterous little downy woodpecker had quite a lot to say

  • No doubt about it - the flamingo is a curious-looking bird. Its body is extremely slender, its head small, its bill strangely curved and hooked. And then there's the matter of color - how many animals can you name that are HOT PINK?<br />
<br />
Flamingos are social birds. They live in large groups, sometimes up to tens of thousands of birds, an undulating ocean of pink. The sound of a large flamingo flock is also impressive (they're often mistaken for geese) and can be heard a great distance away. The birds are very vocal and use a wide variety of honks, alarm calls and other vocalizations.<br />
<br />
Flamingos in a colony feed together, breed together, and fly together. They eat by day, but when a feeding area no longer provides enough food for the flock, the birds move to another location at night.<br />
<br />
The birds are quite distinctive looking in flight. They stretch out their long necks and legs and spread their wings so the black undersides are visible. A flamingo's wingspan can range from three to five feet, depending on the size of the bird.

  • The Western Lowland Gorillas and Chimpanzees  can be found at the Saint Louis Zoo.  In spite of their size these gorillas are gentle giants and they are critically endangered.

  • This beautiful white tailed doe walked into my uncle's backyard and just started eating the vegetation around the trees. She didn't care that we were only about 40 to 50 feet away on his back deck having dinner and enjoying great conversation. <br />
<br />
She just kept walking closer and closer to us the entire time. I just happen to have my 600mm lens with me. Talk about luck. More photos to come.

  • Daffodils come in all sizes from 5-inch blooms on 2-foot stems to half-inch flowers on 2-inch stems. Largely for show purposes, but also for guidance in gardening, certain species and named cultivars have been determined to be miniatures and must compete by themselves in daffodil shows.<br />
<br />
Depending on  which botanist you talk to, there are between 40 and 200 different daffodil species, subspecies or varieties of species and over 25,000 registered cultivars (named hybrids) divided among the thirteen divisions of the official classification system.<br />
<br />
Narcissus is a genus of mainly hardy, mostly spring-flowering, bulbous perennials in the Amaryllis family, subfamily Amaryllidoideae. Various common names including daffodil, narcissus, and jonquil are used to describe all or some of the genus

  • Is there a difference between aromas and bouquet in wines? Yes, there is. The difference is distinct, but it can be really confusing to differentiate aromas from bouquet. Even the most famed wine critics sometimes confuse these two. To be precise, when a wine specialist talks about a wine's aromas, he is referring to that wine's primary and secondary aromas (i.e. varietal aromas and vinous aromas). When he talks about a wine's bouquet, he is referring to that wine's tertiary aromas. To put it even more simply, while it is true that there are three main aromas in wines, only the primary and secondary aromas qualify as 'aromas' in wine lingo; the tertiary aroma is referred to as 'bouquet'. That, in a nutshell is the difference between aromas and bouquet.<br />
<br />
Wines owe their bouquet to the post-fermentation and the maturing process. The bouquet is developed only during the post-fermentation stage and in the wine bottle itself. Aldehydes and esters are formed during the oxidation of the fruit acids and alcohol in the wine bottle. As such, bouquet takes time – years, actually – to develop. A good, mature wine will have a complex bouquet. After all, a wine's bouquet is a combination of aromas bundled together to form new aromas (you could call it perfume, if you want).
