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...

[I spent my entire evening after work creating this image (posting at nearly 2:30 a.m.). I ventured to my forest, harvested loads of moss and ferns, and then drove to three additional locations to harvest more plants. Once I started, I couldn't stop. I was reminded why I love photography so much and am so passionate about it--obsessed, even. I can turn my bathroom into a jungle. My bedroom into a garden. My living room into a galaxy. I can escape.
This image is directly inspired by the wonderful Rosie Hardy (view her wonderful photos here: www.flickr.com/photos/rosie_hardy/).]

I love live oak alleys and how they seem to frame roads effortlessly. This road screams to be photographed. This was my first time to Botany Bay Plantation. Hopefully not the last.
A walk along the Bow River on this day provided the usual waterfowl.
I also noticed the lovely designs in this fallen tree after I sat on it to rest for a minute.
Thanks for your visits and comments! They are all greatly appreciated!
These plants are found in tropical America. They can be raised in the hot house or home. The bloom mostly in the summer and fall and they need a minimum winter temperature of 55 degrees when grown under glass. Their leathery leaves have spines around the perimeters and as they grow directly from the base they overlap each other to form a long tube from which the flower spike emerges. Some have scarlet and blue flowers, some have pink flower heads with blue flowers and some have red, yellow and black flowers. The foliage also may have variegated colors such as maroon and green, green with white stripes, or completely red. They can grow up to 12 inches long
13.2.2016. On a blustery morning, Southern Railways Bulleid Pacific 4-6-2 No 34067 'Tangmere' approaches Sutton Bridge with the northbound 'Valentines White Rose' (London King's Cross - York - London King's Cross).
It was good to meet up with Alan Weaver, Tom Merrill, Simon Kerry and Tom Coulson (who couldn't resist the lure of steam!).
Botany Bay Weevil Chrysolopus spectabilis - the first Australian insect to be scientifically described. Hoop pine, NE NSW.
Pulling up at the old 'staff hut' to pull the 'peg' for the section to Cooks River is Freight Corp's 8047/ 8017 on T106 to Enfiled Yard.
This location has changed a lot with the Electric Staff gone, and overhead bridge replaces the walk way pedestrian crossing just behind me but Kellogg's still remains in the right of the shot.
Thursday 6th Januuary 2000.
My earliest childhood memories are of the leafless, stout-branched, and almost terrifying silhouettes of bur oaks (Quercus macrocarpa).
In my young mind's eye, these great trees were always set against the ever-changing panorama of the winter sky. They were, and thankfully still are, a common sight on my native ground, northeastern Illinois.
With its wide-spaced and contorted limbs, this most cold-hardy of the North American oaks is the lord of the Upper Midwestern landscape.
The other photos and descriptions of this series can be found in my Botanical Rants & Rambles album.

Slowly catching up with my fellow Flickerites! Life has been so busy for me these days. I hope everyone had a great summer and is keeping warm as winter sneaks around the corner. We've been in a cold snap this week, with temperatures dipping to -12 C (10.4 F) over night.

I used spend the school summer holidays on this beach, as we lived up the road, there used to be an archway going across to the island but that has eroded now. Health & safety didn't exist either!!
It was a grey old day!
Botany Bay is linked with the history of smugglers. In 1769 smuggler Joss Snelling and his gang were caught with contraband on the beach by the Revenue Patrol, after a fierce fight Joss escaped. Joss survived to become an old man, who was introduced to Princess Victoria on a visit to the area. He died in Broadstairs in 1837. There is also Joss bay a litte further up I wonder who that is named after!
THANKS FOR ALL VISITS & FAVES IT IS APPRECIATED
