Look where the person is standing: right where the waves come in and out. That’s where to find coquina clams and mole crabs.

Coquina clams can be found from Virginia to Florida, and as far west as Texas. Coquina are a common species on most Florida beaches and represent an important food source for shorebirds and other beach-dwelling animals.

I saw this fox cut and it's two siblings playing around in the middle of a quiet country lane early this morning. They were terribly cute and did not seem at all perturbed by the fact i was sitting in my car a few meters away up the road with my engine running and a long shiny thing sticking out the window! Ultimate cuteness to watch them tumbing around. But terrible trying to take pics forward out of the drivers side of the car, as the steering wheel and read view mirrow tend to get in the way!!

rodium cicutarium (L.) L’Hér. GERANIACEAE

Common names: Alfilaria, Red-Stemmed Filaree, Wild Musk, Pin Clover, Pin Grass (Hortus)

Medit. region. Ann. to 1.5 ft. Lvs. pinnate, lfts. pinntifid, rachis not toothed between lfts. Peduncles 5-10-fld., bracts united. Fls. purple or pink, 0.2” across. Nat. in N & S Am.. A weedy plant, valuable for forage (Hortus Third 1976: 443). Root was formerly a source of a dye in the Hebrides (Mabberley 1998: 265) In Guatemala 1,500-3,760 m. Eaten by stock, or it would prob. be more common than it is. Well est. on the v. summit of the Volcán de Santa María, just in front of the large cross erected there. It seemed so out of place there, where all the other plants are native alpines, that Standley hesitated to touch the plants in the presence of the Indian guide. This is one of the most important religious shrines of the Quetzaltenango Indians, and one to which weird and cruel rites have been ascribed. However the guide said the plants were of no importance. They were probably intro. casually by some of the many Indians who meet there for purposes known only to themselves (Flora of Guatemala 1946: 369). Young plants gathered, eaten cooked or raw by Blackfeet, Shoshones, Digger Indians. In CA called pin grass, stem is edible (Sturtevant 1972: 256). Through the foothills & lower passes in S CA, as high as 6,000 ft., esp. this & E. texanum. One of the earliest fall plants, appears after the first fall rains. Filaree was a favorite pot herb of the Cahuilla. The best time to gather it was just before it bloomed, Jan.-April. Calistro Tortes said it tasted like spinach. Could be eaten raw, but was usually cooked. Abundant around village sites, where it was readily available to women on their daily food round. One name was tuchily hemu’, ‘humming-bird’s nose’ (Bean & Saubel 1972). Infrequent spreading ann. of flat desert basins. Fls. purple. Seeds of this & E. texanum are stored in quantity by harvester ants of the genus Messor. The husks and spirally coiled beaks are discarded outside the nest crater, forming a broad circular cushion (Jaeger 1941). Naturalized in the Valley of Mexico. Creeping stems. Used for sore throat, inflammations of the mouth. Use a decoction of 60 g plant in 1,500 g water, boiled until reduced to 1 liter. Take 120-150 g three times a day. Ensayo para la Materia Medica Mexicana 1832: Sweetened with ‘miel rosada’ or with any syrup, then used in gargles as a detergent in inflammatory affections of the throat (Martínez 1959: Medicinales, page 34). A v. common plant in the uplands of Chih., esp. in desert meadows. A quelite of Eu. origin. Tarahumar cook the lvs. for several hours, drain & eat. Drink an infusion of the whole plant for sore throat, cough, stomach ache. Lvs. crushed, dampened, placed in the ear for earache. Boil the pink fls., add to water with a little alum to give a yellow dye. Hanks of wool placed in the mixture and the water boiled for several hours, then leave in the dye for a few days, dry in the sun (Pennington 1963). In NM, boiled by Hispanics, drunk as a diuretic. Boiled as a bath for rheumatism. For gonorrhea, make a decoction with Distichlis [Poaceae] and piloncillo [brown sugar], and drink lukewarm twice a day. For urinary disorders make a tea. In SLP, for sore throat boil in water and gargle (Ford 1975). Prostrate spreading stems, forms mats. Young plants in a salad, or cooked as potherbs. An imp. winter & early spring forage for livestock on open range (Kirk 1970). An ornamental pot-plant (Santamaría 1978: Aguja de pastor). Valid species (GRIN 2006)

A Mongolian herder milks her cows in the late afternoon. The size of the livestock holdings of most families, particularly newcomers who have migrated from urban centers, is well below the subsistence level. For a sustainable livelihood over the long term, a family of herders needs at least 10 heads of cattle or yak or 70 sheep. Yet when livestock collectives were disbanded in the early 1990s, about 20 percent of families, many of them headed by women, received fewer than 10 animals. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt. Jeremy
