Cool old cluster of cottonwood trees that has probably been here for 100 years. Just a nice shaped cluster of trees hanging out in a farm field with last year's corn stubble. Going to get this one on IR hopefully before the crops come up. Developed with DF96 for 12 minutes.

Thanks for the comments, faves and visits
This image showcases a vibrant cluster of red berries nestled among broad, green leaves. The berries are tightly packed, creating a striking burst of color against the lush foliage. The contrast between the vivid red of the berries and the deep green of the leaves adds a sense of vitality and natural beauty to the scene. The image captures the essence of nature's abundance and the simple elegance of a thriving plant.
This cluster of berries fascinated me. Each berry was in a different stage of decay and there was evidence of buds so that the whole process would restart in the spring.
What an amazing spray of delightful tiny five-petaled flowers! With long sweeping filaments that glisten in the morning sunlight! A floral pagoda indeed!
An erect, open semiwoody shrub with large evergreen leaves and huge showy clusters of orange-red or scarlet flowers held above the foliage. The bush sometimes has multiple stems and gets to be 3-5 ft tall and 2-3 ft across. The handsome, tropical leaves can be as large as 12 in across, they have heart shaped bases; lower leaves are lobed and upper leaves entire. They are arranged in opposite pairs along the fast growing stems which often branch from the roots rather than from a single trunk.
The flowers are funnel shaped with long tubes. The flowers within the pyramid-shaped cluster are tiered like a Japanese pagoda. The showy display lasts from summer through autumn with sporadic flowering throughout the year in frost free climates.

"Summer is already better, but the best is autumn. It is mature, reasonable and serious, it glows moderately and not frivolously... It cools down, clears up, makes you reasonable..."

A long time, I have not imaged a globular star cluster. And the hercules cluster is one of the most beautiful clusters in the northern hemisphere. I took this picture right after I finished my M81 exposures. The telescope was pointing just a bit over the roof. Seeing was quite poor.

This plant produces abundent blossoms that cluster like a popcorn ball. We enjoy theis color which is not so common, Oregon seems to have excellnet conditions for rhodedendrons, some on campus are several stories tall. The only better rhodedenron display we have seen is Inverewe Garden in Poolewe, Scotland. It looks out on Loch Ewe which opens out to the isle of Lewis. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverewe_Garden
