Only one more week of winter left here in Uruguay. Lots of plants are flowering, trees appear to be getting their leaves back, and all sorts of creatures are becoming more active, like this one.

There was definitely a hand of man element here because I would pick up the twig with Sisy firmly attached and move it back several centimetres. Sisy would then parade along the same course again until I repeated the re-placement of poor little Sisy. I have no idea what was so important about the twig, but Sisy was determined to take it somewhere.

We use wood heat in most of our houses here in Uruguay so splitting wood has been re-introduced to my life after a 20 year hiatus thanks to natural gas in Canada. The twisted grain makes red eucalyptus difficult to split. It has made me refine the term 'disappointment'. To me now, disappointment is watching the head of my 8lb splitting maul bounce off a piece of red eucalyptus that I'm trying to split.

  12. Fantastic capture! May I ask where and when to satisfy my curiosity about the melting snow and fractured ice in the background?
  13. Alternative weekly thread in Nature forum Each participant please post no more than just one image per weekly thread. Agave's last stand. After years of vegetative growth, the reproductive phase pushes up a stalk almost 6m into the air. Then, its up to the next generation.
  14. Alternative weekly thread in Nature forum Each participant please post no more than just one image per weekly thread. The whales have returned to the Rio Plata here in Uruguay. I saw a humpback breach near Punta Fria today but it was through my binoculars and very far away. This is a Minke that we saw in the St. Lawrence river near St. Simeon Quebec a few years ago. It was kind enough to show the seldom seen side. Have you witnessed the seldom seen side of nature?
