found lots of info on this tiny beauty!
"Bulbine comes from the Latin word bulbus meaning an onion or bulb. This name is misleading, as plants do not have a bulbous base.
Bulbine frutescens is native to desert grasslands in South Africa, this plant grows best in a well-drained soil and is also very tolerant of poor, dry soil. Be careful not to over water, Bulbine does not like wet feet. Bulbine grows best in full sun, has succulent foliage, and produces racemes of star-shaped yellow with orange flowers in the summer months. Orange African Bulbine should be deadheaded to encourage more flowering. Bulbine can withstand a light frost, keep protected in colder climates.
Commonly called Bulbinella and Burn jelly plant, the sap in the leaves is used for healing in South Africa.Bulbine frutescens is one of nature's finest medicinal plants. It's a remarkable first aid medicine chest all in one.
Externally the freshly squeezed juice, frequently applied, is amazingly effective to take care of a wide range of skin conditions and wounds.
The list is almost endless: acne, burns, blisters, cold sores (even in your mouth and nose), cracked lips, cracked fingers, nails and heels, insect bites, itchy places, fever blisters, mouth ulcers, sunburn, rashes and ringworm. It's also very effective for treating wounds, sores and rashes on animals. You can also make a warm poultice and apply it to the affected area to treat any of the above as well as eczema and arthritis.
Internally an infusion (sometimes a brandy tincture) of a few fresh leaves in a cup of boiling water is taken for coughs, colds and arthritis."
So now you know what it can do, but I just bought it to enjoy the flowers!!
I finally got a shot of Latourell that I love. Shot this in pouring down rain today. The colors in the Gorge are amazing right now. Amazing. If you can, you gotta get out and do a hike in the Gorge:)

If you are wondering the reason for its expression, it was watching its children playing and fighting... ;-)
(Red panda @ Naturaviva Park, Italy; Nov. 2012)
I took a shot on this block before. Just love the look of this street. Last time was late night, I got the early morning this time around...
Serendipity struck yesterday morning at sunrise when a herd of bison grazed, snorted, grunted and protected what they were amorous about for the moment. Steam and mist rose from the water where they were lingering along the shore. The cow kept looking across the water and purposefully decided to cross - possibly thinking that human intervention would help. But no human was nuts enough to stand there as they crossed, definitely not me. This was way close enough and the photo was cropped. Right at this moment the sun rose above the thin, low clouds and fanned out across the bison, the water and the grasses. A pure moment basking in the gifts of nature and it was gone all too soon.
This photo was desaturated some because the natural color was so intense.
I am sitting in a parking lot, watching some geysers erupt and using the MiFi connection, which is surprisingly good right here. My stomach is grumbling because I ran out the door without eating - hoping to find the bison in the same place but of course they were in a dark treed area. Some later, however, I took a hike and found a stag out grazing by himself. Nice looking guy - he also came towards me and I had to back up three times. Didn't have to but I am not taking any chances. A little while later I stopped to take a landscape of the steam rising and found a bull grazing in the shadows just across the road from me. I turned and looked at him, snapped a couple of shots and his tail went up - that was enough! And I did not purposefully put myself near him - it helps to watch the shadows around here!

I'm experimenting at the moment as I've only been able to get out to the park for an hour or two, just haven't been able to do any seascapes for a while, but I hope to rectify that soon.

Driving home on the coast road when suddenly the sun pierced the clouds on an extremely overcast day. Couldn't let the moment pass. Pulled on the side of the road and took a shot.

Sony RX100
I brought the RX100 in the field for the first time today and i must say i'm impressed. especially by the responsiveness of the camera. you actually can DO a lot with it in terms of versatility, speed. the downside is how you hold it, it's not ideal but i'll have to buy that customized handgrip.
is what I used to make the beanbag which now holds the camera steady
the beanbag idea is definitely a good plan - setup time is just as quick and taking the actual stack is now faster. not saying I can use it for all shots, but it does make a BIG difference when I can
The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino is a five-diamond luxury hotel and casino resort located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, United States, on the site of the old Sands Hotel. Designed by KlingStubbins, the hotel tower contains 36 stories and rises 475 feet (145 m). The Venetian is owned and operated by Las Vegas Sands. The Venetian also serves as the seat of the corporate headquarters for its parent company.
The Venetian resort complex is (together with the adjacent Sands Expo Convention Center and The Palazzo Hotel and Casino Resort) the world's second-largest hotel, with 4,049 rooms, 3,068 suites ranging in price from $169 to $10,000 per night and a 120,000-square-foot (11,000 m2) casino. Since its opening, The Venetian Macao is now the largest casino in the world, beating The Venetian, Las Vegas.
In April 1996, Sheldon Adelson announced plans to create on the property the largest resort on the Strip. This project would be situated on the former Sands property. On November 26, 1996, eight years after it was purchased by the owners of The Interface Group—Adelson, Richard Katzeff, Ted Cutler, Irwin Chafetz and Jordan Shapiro, the Sands Hotel was imploded to make way for The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino. Groundbreaking for the hotel began on April 14, 1997.
The resort opened on May 3, 1999, with flutter of white doves, sounding trumpets and singing gondoliers, with actress Sophia Loren joining The Venetian Chairman and Owner, Sheldon G. Adelson, in dedicating the first motorized gondola. Built at a cost of $1.5 billion, it was one of the most expensive resorts of its kind when it opened.
On June 27, 2003, the 1,013-room Venezia Tower opened. It was built on top of the garage parking lot.
in 2010, it was announced that it will be affiliated with InterContinental Hotels Group.[2]
In October 2011, the Cantor Race & Sportsbook opened, which was the only Las Vegas sportsbook that was open 24 hours a day. On June 11, 2012, the Venetian opened Carnevale, a summer-long festival that is anchored by a nightly 3-D projection show on the clock tower. In September 2012, The Blue Man Group show closed and relocated to the Monte Carlo, after being at the Venetian for six years.
The hotel uses Venice, Italy, as its design inspiration and features architectural replicas of various Venetian landmarks, including the Palazzo Ducale, Piazza San Marco, Piazzetta di San Marco, the Lion of Venice Column and the Column of Saint Theodore, St Mark's Campanile, and the Rialto Bridge. The design architects for this project were The Stubbins Associates and WAT&G

Cape Hatteras LIghthouse. Orion standing on his head on the side.
The night sky is exceptionally clear here, especially for sea level. Outer Banks 2012.
This is the lighthouse that was moved in 1999: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Hatteras_Light
It claims to be one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world. There may be some justification for that - the largest Flickr Outer Banks group has 13,000 photos, of those fully 780 return for a search of "Hatteras lighthouse". That's fully 6% plus of all group photos, and there are four other Outer Blanks lighthouses!
