Bycatch. Discarded fish. It was only ~2" so I'm guessing it was originally snapped up in a tern beak.. any guess on ID for #Sarasota Fl? #fish #fishofinstagram #florida #gulfofmexico (at John Ringling Causeway)
As I was taking the photo of this spider lily from my kayak, I heard the deep in-breath of an enormous manatee a stone's toss away. Watched it and it's two buds chomp away at the veg floating on the water. #wildlifeencounters #manatee #lilies #spiderlily #kayaking #nature #outdoors #naturalecosystem #marinelife #optoutside #sarasota #floridafun (at Phillippi Creek)

This was worth staying up all night for.
Check out my new online store with original puffin photography!
These are birds I’ve worked with in the summers of 2003, ‘05 and ‘16. Atlantic Puffins are charming, charismatic birds and I hope through my photography, I can introduce this wild, wonderful world to others. Please read about my experiences at www.feathersawry.wordpress.com
Hillwood Estate, Museum, & Gardens Washington, DC
Hillwood Estate is an impressive Georgian-style mansion that was the former home of wealthy businesswoman Marjorie Merriweather Post and houses her collection of French and Russian decorative art. While most visitors might focus their attentions on the mansion and its Fabergé eggs, I was here with the exclusive purpose of exploring the many themed gardens that surround the residence. There was plenty to see including an extensive greenhouse, French and Japanese gardens, ambling pathways, a rose garden, and even a putting green. This past spring was my first visit to this hidden treasure of a garden that seems to get overlooked with so many larger, more famous gardens in the area.
A winding driveway lined with azalea bushes in bright bursts of white, pink, and fuchsia lead up to the Motor Court and the entrance to the mansion, which I promptly skipped to make my way the working greenhouse just beyond, where you can view an impressive collection of orchids, ferns, and other indoor-dwellers. The Cutting Garden nearby was filled only with functional flowers that have been used to decorate the dining tables inside the house since the days of its original owner.
Marjorie Post hosted many high-profile events at Hillwood and her delight in entertaining guests is reflected in her design of the garden. There are open areas for socializing while also offering places for quiet contemplation. The design of ivy-walled “garden rooms” allows each different section a sense of seclusion showcasing its unique charm. One could imagine guests from a party on the Lunar Lawn wandering through the Rose Garden along to the Friendship Walk or exploring the Japanese hillside garden.
Final Rating: Somehow in my exploration of the gardens in and around DC, I have overlooked Hillwood all these years. Perhaps it was the focus on the fancy mansion or the steep suggested donation the kept me away, but now I look forward to my next visit and recommending it to others. Hillwood is a hidden garden gem right inside the city but has a transportive quality that makes it feel like an old country estate. FOUR BLOOM RATING

This is a place I don’t want to miss! Thanks to Matt for his lovely review..
10.23.15 THE FRIDAY 5: Palm Trees!
Few things signify LA and the sunny SoCal mentality more than the palm tree. Like upside-down exclamation points, they proudly line prominent streets and seem to sway above it all, unbothered by the goings on below. For the very first Friday 5, we feature five furtherings of knowledge on the ever-present palm tree. We look back in history at how the palm tree came into fashion, was used to “emparidise” an area found somewhat lacking, create hundreds of jobs, or simply serve as a shelter for a very small bird.
ONE: Hummingbirds Love Them Sitting on the balcony where a majority of this blog is created, I noticed the cluster of palm trees across the street was always buzzing with hummingbirds. I was moved to research what might attract the birds to the palms in particular, and it turns out that hummingbirds often build their tiny nests in palm trees. Also I discovered that finding a miniscule hummingbird nest is a very rare occasion, for they are experts at camouflaging them. >> MORE INFO
TWO: Palm Trees are Thirsty It takes a lot of water to look that good and California’s parched landscape doesn’t have much to offer. In fact, most of the water that keeps these palms flourishing is pumped in from other states. The only palms that are native to this area are found way out in the desert in special spring-fed locations between mountains. >> PALM TREE HISTORY
