Lisa's lilies in Circle Pines, Minnesota, were a psychedelic explosion of color in a world otherwise marred by the mundane. These flowers, with their hypnotic hues and intricate patterns, stood as a rebellious testament to beauty amidst the suburban sprawl. Each bloom was a defiant scream against the encroaching grayness of modern life. Tending to them was a ritual, almost a sacrament, as Lisa battled the elements and pests with the tenacity of a seasoned guerrilla fighter. The lilies thrived, their vibrant petals unfurling like delicate, otherworldly trumpets heralding a summer of possibility and madness. They were more than just flowers—they were symbols of resistance, standing tall against the crushing ennui of the everyday grind.
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!

The site of Anderson's Building was purchased by Rowland Joseph Anderson, a tanner of Botany, after the auction of Crown Land that was held on the 30th of March 1907. The grant is dated the 8th of May 1908. The land remained undeveloped for several years, but by 1915 at least a part of the existing building was complete, and by 1916 it contained a refreshment room and residence , a chemist shop, an estate agency, a mercers and boot shop, an unspecified shop and a hairdresser. The appearance of the building, which becomes progressively simpler as one moves along the Great Western Highway and into Station Street suggests that it may have been erected in stages. On the 2nd of September 1930 the title to the building was transferred from Rowland Anderson to Leighton Rowland Anderson and Edley Hector Anderson, both medical practitioners.
The building remained in their possession for many years, then was subdivided onto several different titles. In July 1959 part was sold to local newsagents Alexander and Gordon Ogilvie, then in April 1963 another portion was sold to Roy and Edna Funnell. The remainder was sold to Peter Mackay the following month.
That part of the building sold to Gordon Ogilvie and Alexander Ogilvie remained in their possession for several years, until the title passed to Gordon Ogilvie in 1970. At the beginning of 1988 he sold it to William and Catherine Parmenter.
That part of the building purchased by Roy and Edna Funnell was sold around the beginning of 1987 to a small consortium consisting of Walter Aiken, John Woods, Robert Burgess, Bruce Carter and Fern Hill Homes Pty Ltd. Around the beginning of 1991 it pased into the possession of Ellen and Bruce Carter.

While I'm not sure where I was on Puerto Blanco Drive when I took this shot, I know I was well past the point at the Pinkley Peak picnic area where the road becomes a stony, one-way, high-clearance-only track. My best guess is that I was just east of the northern end of the Puerto Blanco Mountains.
Isn't it a shame that deserts are such bare, bleak, and lifeless places? I mean, isn't that what those Dune movies show? Why would a botanist ever one to visit one?
Of course, this photo illustrates that such arid environments—the Sonoran Desert chief among them—often feature amazingly diverse, drought-adapted plant populations.
Here the largest and most eye-catching species are the tubular, pale-green Organ Pipe Cactus (Stenocereus thurberi) and the darker, slender-branched Ocotillo (Fouquieria splendens). The latter is splendid indeed when it produces brilliant red flowers at its stem tips after a good rain.
In addition, there are quite a number of other, lower xerophytic (aridity-tolerant) plant varieties growing up through this hillside's desert pavement.

although not a very large beach the landscape here is quite unique compared to most beaches here in the South...the tides have long since eroded this once beautiful plantation ,two originally and created these skeleton trees...truly quite a pristine place,,swimming would be cautionary due to all of the stumps in the water that are unseen..but just sitting and viewing is gift enough,or adding to the shell art others have created along the path..have a blessed day one and all..

Dawn breaking over Port Botany, how quickly the conditions changed with just 14 minutes between these two frames… Sitting alongside Sydney Airports 3rd runway (16L/34R( and often seen in images from The Beach as a backdrop.

Then fairly new unit 8163 waits in Botany yard with 2471 oil train bound for points south on 29 July 1988. The area to the left looks for all the world like future railway works but was actually associated with the adjacent I.C.I. (later Orica) plant expansion.
