[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/).]

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!).
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
The sexy bits of a lily flower. Male pollen on six anthers supported by filaments. Female stigma receives male pollen and passes it down the style to the ovary where the seeds are formed. Plants aren't so very different from us are they?

The Royal Society of Natural Philosophy is pleased to announce the opening of a Botany House in Mooreton Bay, Alicentia. To advance the study of the flora of the New World, The Society has managed to engage the services of renowned Corlander Botanist, Sir Jonah Banks. Banks has set up his quarters in Botany House, a building in Mooreton bay built specially by the society for the study of Botany. Located roughly in the centre of the settlement, the land adjacent to the building has been set aside for future Botanic Gardens - a planned green oasis in the middle of a bustling town!

Ok, here's a confession:
I have a special gift.
I can become invisible.
Unfortunately, it only works when I try to get people to listen to my music.
See? 1/3 of you has stopped reading this text at this point. The other 2/3 will be gone at the end of the text.
No, really. Just the mere mention of an album of mine makes sure that people look right through me, spontaneously change the topic and/or click somewhere else, regardless of those pople ever having listened to my music or not.
I don't know how I got that wondrous ability of mine. And to be perfectly honest, I'd very much rather live without it, because it's a curse, it's endlessly depressing... but that's how it is.
You don't believe me? Why don't you listen to our farewell album (and by that I mean, really listen to it, not just checking the first few seconds) and leave me a comment about it?
As the zero comments under this post clearly show, it won't happen. Thousands of people are looking at my photos every day, I have lost count of how many times my pictures have been in "Explore" (not that I see this as an achievement)... but the moment I mention my music, it's all over, I become invisible.
I'll remove this confession the moment somebody proves me wrong but that won't happen. Because it's true. I can do magic.
You could, of course, listen to "Thanksgiver" online, but... well, you know.
Don't feel bad, it's not your fault.
