Táimid dóchasach, Beidh mé ag teacht ar fud na gach uair amháin ar feadh tamaill, agus . . . → Leigh Nios mo: Níos dlúithe, toirt I

Butterfly na seachtaine

I’ve been a bit remiss at posting regular challenges, so I’ll try to pick up the pace. Who can tell me anything about this butterfly? The most you’re getting is that it is from the Western half of the US. Credit for family, genus or species and ridiculous credit for subspecies and where it is . . . → Leigh Nios mo: Butterfly na seachtaine

Moth tasting in Napa

It was a beautiful day today in the bay area, so I headed up to Napa and the Pope Valley. I was scouting some new territory for a small flower moth, Heliolonche celeris, that apparently is waiting for more contiguous nice weather to emerge.

Is féidir liom tiomáint i bhfad ró

Aibhneacha na Óir

Tá cúpla íomhánna ó mo thuras mothing deireadh seachtaine síos go dtí Shell Creek, San Luis Obispo Contae. Tá an earraigh Luath feadh chósta lárnach néal, agus bhí pacáilte bóithre ar ais le feighlithe bláth.

I bhfad ró-saor-ama?

Ná huaire tú féin feithidí.

Tá na píosaí ealaíne a chruthú Robert J. Go raibh maith agat. Tá seans má tá tú ag feiceáil roinnt origami dÚsachtach ná mar a bhí siad a chruthú. Is ea, iad siúd atá déanta go hiarbhír as aon phíosa amháin de pháipéar uncut.
