Galanthus nivalis (Amaryllidaceae) 033 21
As the name suggests, snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) are one of the first flowers to bloom; depending on region, they appear from January, often while snow still blankets the ground. This low-growing plant tolerates partial shade to full sun. It is toxic to animals and humans, but it offers the benefit of being virtually immune to feeding by deer and other wildlife.
This splendid Phalaenopsis (Moth) orchid produced eight striking flowers which lasted for many weeks. I`m not too sure of their colour description but I do know that I loved them & received many compliments for them.

What a great surprise to see this beautiful dolphin doing a "strand-feed" in the shallow tidal creek at Botany Bay, SC. He was by himself, which is unusual, as the dolphins usually "strand-feed in groups or pods. When I first saw him I initially thought he had "beached" himself, but a moment later the water exploded, and he was chasing (trying to "strand") mullets (fish) in the shallows.
My only regret is that I didn't do a video of this exciting action. Next time....
Interesting video of the "strand-feeding" action in SC. from U-Tube...

Its habitat is rocky and gravelly places, with damp cliffs, and pastures preferably on the calcareous substrate. From 600÷2,500 m.
Found some new trees :) .. well they are not exactly new since many have photographed them before me, but I am glad that I got a chance to create my own version of them. I visited Botany Bay this weekend, following the advice of many, and I was not disappointed.
Created for Art Week Gallery Theme's Blues & Purples challenge with Dream Wombo and my texture as the input.
Thank you for taking your time to view, fave, comment and invite!
Backyard botany safaris give me a chance to use my camera and keep my gas costs down. Here is a photo from one of those, edited to b/w.
Created with 2 Wombo images.
Prompts: clear glass vase with alien plant, roots in the water, black background, rough dark wood table, dark room, side lighting, ultra realistic details
Sorry, I didn't make note of the style but it looks like either The City or Soft Touch.
The thing I enjoy most about AI is making things that do not exist in a realistic style. Of course I enjoy landscapes and flowers, but I truly have the most fun coming up with imaginary things and places. I hope you enjoy the wanderings of my imagination.
LE at Botany Bay from last week. Caroline and I visited some of the bays surrounding Broadstairs. Took a few long exposures. This was about a minute according to the meta data. This is a really lovely spot. Can only thank Matt for introducing us to this beautiful part of the world...
Barlia robertiana (Orchidaceae) 061 23
Barlia robertiana is a very robust plant with broad and bright yellow-green leaves and an impressive spike allowing an easy identification.
Flowers are large and fragrant with a large hanging lip that is purple, tinged with green at the edge.
Hypochrome specimens can be found with a very beautiful silvery sheen.
Generally it is the first orchid flower appearing so it is often honoured to announce the start of the "new orchid season"!

Edisto Island, South Carolina.
“One way to open your eyes is to ask yourself, 'What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again?" ~ Rachel Carson.

A beautiful morning begins with the sun rising over the Atlantic Ocean at Botany Bay, South Carolina. The Botany Bay Wildlife Management area on Edisto Island encompasses more than 3,000 acres of beach, tidal wet lands and forest with diverse flora and fauna. This is a wonderful place to hike, kayak, or just explore the beach area.
Thank you for your visit. I appreciate your views, faves, and comments!
The 4,630-acre plantation on Edisto Island was a gift from the Margaret Pepper family. It was given to the state in 1977 by Mr. Pepper, but was only able to be used after his wife passed away so she would have the opportunity to continue her years on the land she loved, as per her husband's request.
In July 2008, the land - now a Wildlife Management Area operated by South Carolina's Department of Natural Resources - was made open to the public.
Botany Bay Plantation The land itself is full of nature's rich beauty - from the sunflower fields to the salt marsh and fresh water ponds to the Spanish moss draped oaks to the miles of private beach; it is emblematic of South Carolina's unique environment.
A classic Southern scene: a limerock road dripping with Spanish moss and haunting shadows against a somewhat foggy morning with winter light streaming through the trees.
One of my favorite places to shoot, but only in the winter when the sun is low on the horizon. A magical place in the Southern landscape!
Victoria was curious about the insides of these Rose of Sharon seed pods, so she cut several of them open... this is one of several shots I took as she posed them for me.
