Rhododendron prævernum Blooming in Early April
These provide a show of pale pink flowers during early April, when, because of possible frost damage to the flowers, burlap canopies are erected for protection.

The "ideal library". A small shopfront library with exquisite design and planning. Many, many innovative features. Co-located with a commercial bookshop and cinema.
A photo taken by Zali (12) for the Botany Bay council photo competition. Taken on the #iPhone #noedit looking through a slit in the viewing platform at Port Botany as the sun sets. Penrynh Bird Estuary in the foreground and the sun setting over the port extension in the background.
Marine bagpipes? This purple tube sponge was growing in about 12 m of water. Based on it's size I'd estimate it would filter over 2000 litres of sea water per day.
with a little physics ... and hopefully art.
Sorting and clearing out our small cellar yesterday, I found these lab. glasses. No idea where they came from, but the beaker has 4/- (4 shillings) written on the label, so they pre-date English decimalisation in '71. They didn't get thrown out :)

On the boardwalk along the Cedar Point Tideland Trail. Here we're looking westward across the inlet at the town of Swansboro.
A study in curving, yin-and-yang symmetry, in a place where the Earth's spheres—bio, hydro, litho, and atmo—all knit together so beautifully.
And this is the perfect spot to appreciate the two dominant herbaceous species that form huge colonies in the saline, organics-rich substrate of eastern North America's coastal wetlands. Both can be identified at some distance, thanks to their characteristic colors and habitats.
The first of these, usually found at the lower, routinely flooded level of the salt marsh, is the yellowish-green Smooth Cord Grass. A true Grass Family (Poaceae) member, it was originally classified as Spartina alterniflora. But recently botanical taxonomists have changed the name to Sporobolus alterniflorus. The nomenclatural switch may have been justified by some arcane genomic study or pedantic morphologic detail. Still, it's a slick and easy way for the revisers to get published in the professional literature. And that's what it's all about in the ivied halls of Careerist Science.
The other plant in question, which thrives on slightly higher ground, is Black Rush, still unassailably Juncus roemerianus, I dearly hope. Its common name accurately describes it: at close range it is a deep blackish-green; farther away, almost solid black.
In the background are some of the tall, storm-damaged or storm-killed Loblolly Pines (Pinus taeda) more fully discussed in this set's Part 9.
