The graceful curves and delicate shading of pink across the spathe of this anthurium variety versus the geometric precision of the little bumps on the spadix caught my eye. Found in the Palm room of the Lincoln Park Botanical Garden.
From the Antherium Hawaii website:
In summary, the anthurium flower consists of the following parts. The spathe, which everyone calls a flower, but which is actually just a glorified leaf; the spadix, which is the actual flower; and the stigma and stamen, which are the female and male parts of the flower that appear as tiny bumps.

Good morning everyone and Happy Hug a Bug Day. As the title indicates, today is the day I finally put together a series on different moths I encountered when out afield. First up is the above Delicate Cycnia or Dogbane Tiger Moth (Cycnia tenera), which is probably the most often seen moth here by yours truly. And this one was photographed feeding on what else but Hemp Dogbane (Apocynum cannabinum).
Between the number of pics posted and text it's kind of a long series. The longest I've ever put together. Sorry about that. But in spite of it I hope you enjoy the photos and find the provided commentary informative, which describes moths in general versus any particular family or species.
Almost forgot, if anyone feels I identified any of these moths incorrectly, feel free to advise me accordingly.
Thanks to flickr friend Doug, I had the 2nd to last moth in the comment section misidentified as a Pale Beauty when in fact it's a Confused Eusarca. Same species of moth as the last one pictured in the comment section. Thank you Doug.
Thank you for stopping by...and I hope you have a truly nice day.

Taraxacum officinale. Dandelion. Wikipedia comments ~ Many Taraxacum species produce seeds asexually by apomixis, where the seeds are produced without pollination, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant.

Enjoy your Friday, my friends, and welcome these "pesky weeds"! Thanks for looking in!
Made it to Arches National Park in May of 2013 as the last stop of a road trip. I was looking forward to capturing the bright orange sunset colors reflecting off the arch but to my disappointment, the clouds didn't allow that. Still, I got to experience Delicate Arch and it was more than worth it! The wind didn't let up at all, but it was still amazing. As disappointed about the clouds that I was, I realized that unexpected weather is just a part of photography and honestly the misses make the "perfect" captures that much sweeter.
The Spider's Web
The spider, dropping down from twig,
Unfolds a plan of her devising,
A thin premeditated rig
To use in rising.
And all that journey down through space,
In cool descent and loyal hearted,
She spins a ladder to the place
From where she started.
Thus I, gone forth as spiders do
In spider's web a truth discerning,
Attach one silken thread to you
For my returning.

This pink rose was in the same bouquet as the red ones and I had loads of fun with them. I'm having to use a few archive photos lately, as I haven't had time to take anything new (or worth putting on flickr).
the texture is called susurrus by vintage findings www.flickr.com/photos/vintagefindings/8221497851/
thank you for looking and for your comments and faves, always appreciated :)
Have a lovely Tuesday :)

Delicate strength? Is there such a thing? Why, I do declare that there is my friends! I am living proof! Well, that's what I think anyway! :)
…with a bite!

Reeds at water’s edge provided some nice bokeh for these thistles that are already going to seed.
Arches National Park - Moab Utah
Just returned from a road trip to Utah. This was taken on the first night after a 1 1/2 mile hike to the arch on the night of the summer solstice and one night shy of a full moon.
