Still life image of a Ikebana flower arrangement displayed by the San Diego Wabi Study Group of the Ohara School of Ikebana's Annual Flower Show.
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.
Ranunculus platanifolius (Ranunculaceae) 177 19
Ranunculus platanifolius, the large white buttercup, is a species of the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae).
This plant lives in mountain woods and forests of Europe, from 800 to 2000 m above sea level.
The large white buttercup is an herbaceous plant 30 – 100 cm tall, with a glabrous stem with many branches.
The leaves are palmate, each divided into five segments with dentate margin. Flowers are organized into cymes; each flower has a calyx with five sepals, a corolla with five white petals, many stamens with yellow anthers and many styles.
As other Ranunculaceae, this plant is toxic because it contains anemonin.

Well the Easter weather here was wet with just a small window at to go out and shoot some pictures. This was taken at mid day.
The Tide Rushing in to claim just a little more land. Inch by Inch, Day by day, the power of the ocean claimed this skeleton tree which now sits isolated from land. Taken at Botany Bay Boneyard on Edisto Island in South Carolina.

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...

A bit out of focus - the depth of field on the Moment macro lens is minuscule - but I kind of love the "marshmallow fluff" look here.

Only three Class 91 sets were rostered to work on the ECML today (Sat 15th Aug), so I took the chance to get a shot of 91119.
Inter-City Swallow liveried Class 91 No 91119 'Bounds Green' works 1N81, the 09.06 LKX - York LNER passenger service.
Seen here approaching Sutton Bridge, just north of Retford.
DVT No 82208 was at the rear of the train.
Bright, overcast weather is ideal for this location as full sun causes problems. Not often you can say that!

Juan de Fuca Provincial Park, Vancouver Is., British Columbia, Canada.
At the west end of Juan de Fuca Park is Botany Bay to Botanical Beach, Trail along one of the richest tidal areas of the west coast. Wildlife viewing is best done at low tide, when visitors can walk out across the flat sandstone and granite outcroppings to view tide pools filled with brightly coloured marine life.

Driving around waiting for the tide to go down on Botany Bay to take pics of the trees laying on the beach.
did not get my rain I was hoping for on Van Island, but this fog/fine drizzle was perfect too for this location.
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.
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...
