I made these mandrake botany books for Harry (& Ron and Hermoine when they arrive-) . Meant to make the mandrake plants in their pots with the earmuffs but short of the supplies needed. So I concentrated on the little books, still making more.
In these troubled times, it's important to remember that the world is still beautiful. Maybe this gerbera can go some way to reminding us of that.
In this final view of the Pinckney site we're even standing closer to the grand old Southern Live Oak (Quercus virginiana) seen in its entirety in Part 33 of this series. And Part 35 shows a larger portion of the branch seen in this photo, while Part 34 shows the tree's distinctive bark.
For more on the botany of the Spanish Moss (Tillandsia usneoides) described in this post, go to Part 28.
If this image at first gives you a something's-not-quite-right feeling, it may be that it seems tilted. If the Earth's gravitational field is working correctly, shouldn't those strands of Spanish Moss be hanging straight down?
Actually, one of the most beautiful aspects of this clump-forming, epiphytic bromeliad is that it tilts and sways gracefully even in a light breeze. It makes a Live Oak seem all the more alive.
Close examination of this shot reveals that some of the strands are leaning at a greater angle to the perpendicular; others, to a lesser degree or not at all. That's just as you'd expect in the crown of a great tree where a passing gust of wind is blocked in places.
I also like the way the Spanish Moss strands are draped on the branches of their host like Hawaiian leis dangling from the necks of mainland tourists. They seem to have been carefully arranged to avoid blocking sunlight from the tree's own leaves.
Of course, the truth is probably less morally redeeming and just another brutal example of natural selection: the tree stems that survive the longest are those that have successfully grown well above the highest Tillandsia attachment points.
The foliage on those stems is worthy of comment, too. While many people (at least in my country) think of oaks as plants with strikingly lobed or deeply toothed leaves, a fair number of Quercus species have blades with entire or almost entire margins.
In the case of Q. virginiana, the unindented leaves are obovate, which means they're generally oval in shape but widest above the middle. Sometimes they're big, dark, leathery, and glossy enough to be mistaken for an evergreen magnolia's.
The other photos and descriptions of this series can be found in my Botany of the Carolinas Coastal Plain album.

Botany Bay is a special place. The ghost trees on the beach provide a surreal and stark subject matter in juxtaposition to the sea. This was my fifth time photographing this incredible area and I was lucky to get some dramatic storm clouds at first light.

After driving for almost 15 hours from NYC, i arrived at Botany Bay on time for Sunset. After taking a turn on to a unpaved road from SC 174, canopy of trees brought much needed energy for me continue the drive towards the plantation. After traveling for couple of miles, another turn led me to the information kiosk. I did not check for days or hours of operation, but i was lucky to go there on a non-hunting day. This 4000 acre wildlife management area offers lot of photo opportunities for folks who likes nature and bird photography. But my primary focus was on Boneyard beach, a beach known for dead trees caused by erosion.
Arrived at the parking lot designated for beach access after 5 min drive from the main gate and started a hike on a marked trail towards the beach. After passing through marsh lands and a set of dense trees, i was amazed to see the trees stranded in the ocean with nice sunset hues.
I was the only person on the beach and walked another quarter mile to find a right spot to take some photographs. I was expecting some wave action but unfortunately i went there during low tide. The sun was already set and with light fading away quickly i could not try multiple compositions rather stuck at same place trying to get a better photograph with available light. Not sure about the photograph but the trip was worth it.

A couple of iPhone 6+ shots at one of my favourite beaches. Pretty impressed by the camera on this phone!
Hydrangea macrophylla , commonly called big leaf hydrangea, is a deciduous shrub with a rounded habit that, in the St. Louis area, typically grows 3-6' tall and as wide unless damaged by harsh winters or pruned smaller. It generally features serrate, obovate to elliptic, dark green leaves (4-8” long) and large clusters of long-blooming summer flowers in either lacecap form (flattened flower clusters of small fertile florets with scattered showy sterile florets often forming a marginal ring) or mophead form (globose flower clusters of mostly showy sterile florets).
