The Common Collared Lizard (Crotaphytus collaris) is a North American species of lizard in the family Crotaphytidae. It is distinguished by its oversized head, colorful body and bands of black around the neck and shoulders. The black bands give it the name “collared”. It is also known as Eastern Collared Lizard, Oklahoma Collared Lizard, Yellow-Headed Lizard and Collared Lizard. The collared lizard can grow to 8-15 inches in length including the tail. They have a large head and powerful jaws. The adult males with their blue green bodies are generally more colorful than the females. The collared lizard is mostly found in the arid, open landscapes of Mexico and south-central United States. They are carnivores, feeding on insects and small vertebrates. Occasionally they may eat plant material. This collared lizard was photographed while basking on warm rocks in Homolovi State Park near Winslow, Arizona, USA.

$Low to medium, rather variable, rhizomatous, hairless perennial with fans of fleshy, sword-shaped leaves, basal often orange-tinged; stem leaves small and bract-like, the upper larger than the lower. Flowers greenish-yellow or orange-yellow, 10-16mmstarry, in a rather lax spike like raceme; filaments of stamens densely hairy. Fruit a small narrow, elliptical capsule, to 12mm long.\nHabitat: Bogs and wet acid heaths and moors, to 1200m.\nFlowering Season: July-September.\nDistribution: Throughout Europe, except the far north.\nGenerally regarded as poisonous, especially to livestock.\n\nThis Picture is made during a Vacation to Ireland in July 2022.$

$The Hornbill, with its distinctive casque and vibrant plumage, is a majestic bird that captures the imagination of all who encounter it. Found predominantly in the tropical forests of Africa and Asia, this avian wonder is not just a symbol of the wilderness but also a beacon of wisdom in many cultures. The Hornbill's striking appearance is marked by its large bill, adorned with a casque that serves various purposes, from vocal amplification to a display of dominance. This unique feature, combined with its graceful flight and commanding presence, makes the Hornbill a true spectacle of nature.\n\nIn the wild, Hornbills play a crucial role in their ecosystem. They are essential seed dispersers, aiding in the growth and regeneration of forests. Their diet consists mainly of fruits, insects, and small animals, which they skillfully catch with their robust beaks. The Hornbill's nesting habits are equally fascinating; the female seals herself in a tree cavity, relying on the male to bring her food until their chicks are ready to face the world. This act of cooperation and dedication is a testament to the strong family bonds within the Hornbill species.\n\nCulturally, Hornbills hold significant meaning. In many indigenous tribes, they are seen as symbols of fertility, strength, and protection. Their feathers and casques are often used in traditional rituals and adornments, signifying respect and reverence for these magnificent creatures. The Hornbill's presence in folklore and mythology underscores its importance across different societies, where it is often depicted as a messenger between the earthly and spiritual realms.$

Three specimens of the endemic Cruckshanksia montiana (which has no English or local Spanish name) growing in coastal sand-dunes in the southern Atacama Desert region of Chile. Confined to Chile, this species can exist with very little water although, in years when the desert receives rain, Cruckshanksia will comprise some of the ‘flowering desert’ flora that happens particularly when there is an El Niño warming of the nearshore Pacific Ocean. This species has vivid yellow flowers surrounded by larger, equally yellow sepals, presumably to attract pollinators, while the regular green leaves grow close to the sand.
