The Daily Green. Colorful soon-to-be-Christmas mix: Flame vine (Pyrostegia venusta) and Poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) are not particularly modest plants. Picture up-hill Funchal on Madeira on December 14, 2008. #photography #orange #red

My Tawny Frogmouths haven't roosted in their usual trees since April, but it's good to know they're still around (and moulting).

The reason you’ve always got left over Iceberg Lettuce is that initially you only see 10% of it.

The Daily green. Rotting apples in decaying leaves. A natural course of nature, so to speak, an inevitable process (for us humans as well). Somewhere in Märsta in Sweden (close to Arlanda airport north of Stockholm) on December 11, 2021. #photography #garden #apples

The Daily Green. Likely a Phoneutria (wandering spider) possibly a Cupiennius (bromeliad spider). Help me out if you can. Night image from the Osa Peninsula on December 8, 2018. Found by holding a small lamp close to my eyes; spider eyes act as reflectors. #photography #nature #spider #CostaRica

The American robin (Turdus migratorius) is a migratory bird in the family Turdidae, the thrushes. It is named after the European robin because of its reddish-orange breast, although the two species are not closely related.

The Daily Green. Fiery-billed Araçari (Pteroglossus frantzii) is a toucan native to the Pacific west of Panama and Costa Rica. Mostly eats fruit but may add up with some extra protein from insects and eggs. Picture from the Osa Peninsula on December 6, 2018. #photography #nature #birds #CostaRica

Rudolph gets all the love, so let’s talk about the names of Santa’s other reindeer.

dasher | noun | one that dashes
dancer | noun | one that dances
prancer | noun | one that walks or moves in a spirited manner

Ok, those three are easy to understand.

The Daily Green. The Central American agouti (Dasyprocta punctata) is a diurnal rodent weighing up and around 4 kg, lives in monogamous pairs and eats stuff like fruit and seeds. And is just so cute!
