I found some of this herbs on a dry riverbed, called Juananepili. Baja California Sur, México. November 2024
This is one of the many awesome roads we drove down, and one of the reasons I wanted to visit Botany Bay Plantation. I shot this photo at around 11am. I really liked the filtered light through the trees. I did have to wait a little while before taking my shot. The light was just a little to harsh for my liking, but I knew there were clouds in the sky so I just waited for one to help soften the light and then I got my photo.
if you know me, I will do just about anything to get my photo, that includes trying to avoid these bird sized mosquitos that could get to you through your clothes. So I out smarted them, I set up my camera and tripod and composed my shot, and turned on the built in wifi and took my photo from the safety of my car using my iphone App. I thought of that after getting like 30 bites though so maybe I wasn't as smart as I thought I was. LOL
A big thanks to Dave Allen and Mark Vandyke for the info on Botany bay!!
I hadn't planned on using this shot until I tried cropping it. It's a pretty tight crop from a much large picture. This is after sunset with a 2 minute exposure.

Spent a week in Charleston, South Carolina for the last vacation for the summer... I had some time to travel to some locations for some photos. This was taken at the Botany Bay... At times, I didn't feel like I was on vacation. Waking up early, carrying equipment, and driving to locations seemed like work to me. Seeing through the view finder is definitely not a way to spend a vacation and certainly not as fun as lying on the beach and taking in the ocean breeze :)...but...

I'm so sorry for my lack of posts! I've been so busy lately... but it was nice to take a break and just do nothing but take pictures and watch movies for a day :)
this picture is kind of the first trial run of a bigger concept of "Botany" i have in mind, that i will hopefully be able to shoot soon!
It's getting colder and colder here, i wish it would just snow, or at least have the leaves change colors. damn florida </3

did not get my rain I was hoping for on Van Island, but this fog/fine drizzle was perfect too for this location.
Driving around waiting for the tide to go down on Botany Bay to take pics of the trees laying on the beach.
Fighting tiredness I couldn’t resist heading out late last night lured out by clearing skies and occasional stars peeking out. I didn’t have the energy for the long drive in search of dark skies so I just popped down the road to Maryhill to a location on the Port Dundas spur of the Forth & Clyde Canal. I’d visited this spot 3 years ago to check out the fabulous brick building that sits there. The area is called Botany. One internet source says prisoners were loaded on ships here destined for Botany Bay in Australia. Another more prosaic source says the name came about because the locals were all so rough they were felt destined for Botany Bay. The local gang was ‘The Butny’. Sadly the most credited explanation is even duller: a school called The Botany stood in the area. The fabulous brick building on the right was built for Glasgow Lead and Colour Works (Alexander Ferguson and Company). It was on the ‘At risk’ register for several years but in 2019 conversion of the upper floor into residential flats started.
It always feels way scarier standing in populous areas like this with blokes passing by en route to last orders at the bar or the all-night McDonalds rather than some quiet, dark abandoned building...
A few more shots from some recent trips.
Botany Bay on a freezing day in February. Still a lot of walkers and their dogs out enjoying the breeze.

Lathraea squamaria (Orobanchaceae) 083 24
Lathraea squamaria (the common toothwort) is a species of toothwort. It is widely distributed in Europe and also occurs in Turkey.
It is parasitic on the roots of hazel and alder, and occasionally other trees, and represents the second occasion on which a member of the Orobanchaceae family lost the ability to photosynthesize and became parasitic.
Toothwort is a perennial plant producing clumps of flowering shoots in late spring. The low, hairy, creamy-pink flowering shoot grows in a one-sided spike to a height of 8 to 23 cm.
The few scales on the stem represent the leaves, but the whole shoot is devoid of chlorophyll.
