江上被花惱不徹 …

只恐花盡老相催。
繁枝容易紛紛落，嫩葉商量細細開。

Who understands the grief these riverside blossoms inflict?

I just fear that when the flowers are gone, old age will press upon me.
The densely packed branches will easily shed petals in thick flurries, may the tender leaves consider just opening bit by bit.

from “Strolling Alone By the Riverside, Looking for Flowers” by Du Fu

(a combination of translations by David Hinton and Stephen Owen)

A cluster of sharp-lobed hepatica flowers on the forest floor emerging from last years’s leaves. They are mostly white with a faint blush of violet.
A small eastern red backed salamander resting on a stone and leaf litter.
Three yellow trout lilies blooming on the forest floor. Several more are out of focus behind.
Two white trillium: the larger of the two has a bud that has not yet opened; the smaller one does not have a bud.

A biological phenomenon triggers faster evolution rates in woodland salamanders 🦎

Stefan Friedrich Wirth posted a #preLight covering work from Brian Waldron & team. #preprint

Stefan: “The authors were able to use a (…) suitable model to address a topic that researchers in zoology are often confronted with: polymorphisms.”

This is one of the first good shots I took after getting into DSLRs. Pictured is a spring salamander, one of the larger lungless salamanders in the northeast. This was taken in southern Pennsylvania in 2019 if memory serves. Spring salamanders exhibit a variety of colorations from brown to red. I've only caught two in my lifetime, though I don't believe they're particularly uncommon.

Blood-powered toes give #salamanders an arboreal edge phys.org/news/2025-01-blood-po

Vascular and Osteological Morphology of Expanded Digit Tips Suggests Specialization in the Wandering Salamander onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10

"Wandering salamanders are known for gliding through the canopies of redwood forests, but how the small #amphibians stick their landing and take-off with ease? They can rapidly fill, trap, and drain the blood in their toe tips to optimize attachment, detachment and locomotion"
