False colour orange slices.
I was making digital photograms and while playing around on photoshop, I ended up making this too.
We had planned a walk up and over Whinn Rigg and Ilgill Head but the weather turned so foul that we were forced off the hill and into the plantation woodland to find relief from the ferocious wind and driving rain.
As a consequence, I only managed two exposures all day and, rather than the grand and imposing views of the Lakeland giants I’d envisioned, they were of some fungi found growing in the damp, dark woods. They weren’t exactly pristine examples, either. Hey-ho.

As most of you will know, False Creek is one of my favorite sites in Vancouver to Photograph. Here are some from my latest outing in False Creek :)
sunshiny :)
I've totally stalled on processing the vancouver photos. I got 2/3 of the way through processing the trip... that's enough.
Taken last week, on a cloudy day. I'll need to get a photo of the entire clump, they are taller than last year.
Rabbits ate the sunflower seedlings my daughter brought home from daycare, so these and the Black-Eyed Susans will be as close as I get to sunflowers this year.

Synonyms: Eclipta erecta, Eclipta alba, Eclipta punctata, Verbesina prostrate
Family: Asteraceae (Sunflower family)
Eclipta alba (L.) Hassk. (syn. Eclipta prostrata L.), commonly known as False Daisy , yerba de tago, andbhringraj, is a plant belonging to the family Asteraceae.
Root well developed, cylindrical, greyish. Floral heads 6-8 mm in diameter, solitary, white, achene compressed and narrowly winged.
It grows commonly in moist places as a weed all over the world. It is widely distributed throughout India, China, Thailand, and Brazil.
In ayurvedic medicine, the leaf extract is considered a powerful liver tonic, rejuvenative, and especially good for the hair. A black dye obtained from Eclipta alba is used for dyeing hair and tattooing. Eclipta alba also has traditional external uses, like athlete foot, eczema and dermatitis, on the scalp to address hair loss and the leaves have been used in the treatment of scorpion stings. It is used as anti-venom against snakebite in China and Brazil (Mors, 1991). It is reported to improve hair growth and colour.

"My thought is that I have always felt that I won't amount to anything. Unfortunately...I don't feel any worth in myself. I wish I was ambitious and I wish I was confident. I portray a false confidence."
Sometimes we portray a false confidence to appear like we are secure and happy, but sometimes that isn't always true. Sometimes we hide behind false confidence or masks instead of showing people the depths of our souls. We fear what others might think of us, what our futures may hold, and even what our family might think of the choices we have made. But those false confidences can only confine so much before they break.
I feel like sometimes we all wear a mask, hide behind confidence when we actually feel insecure or afraid of something. We hide behind the masks we create for ourselves so that others won't sense any sense of failure, fear, or insecurity.
For years I was told that I wouldn't make it, I wasn't good enough, I'd never go anywhere in life if I chose a career doing what I loved. And for years it plagued me. I struggled with confidence, I doubted myself, and gave up on a lot of my hopes and dreams. I put on a show of confidence that made me seem like I had things going for me, when in reality I hated every minute of my future I was creating for myself. It wasn't until I finally chose to do what I love and put those fears to rest, was when I finally shed the false confidence and became stronger because of it.
Masks can only hold us back for so long before something gives. In order to overcome these insecurities, you have to face them at some point in life. Confront them, make the insecurities shrink away into nothingness. False confidence can only last for so long until it breaks you or becomes who you are...and maybe then, it'll help you recognize that you are worth it, you are becoming a better person and making something greater than you expected. Sometimes we just have to remove the mask to find out...

I've seen this moth just once before, in 2018, on my property. I'm intrigued by its intricate patterning, which is variable from one moth to another. This one alit on my back door screen and let me get very close for the photo.
Here's more information about it:

The false earthstar fungus (Astraeus hygrometricus) is a kind of puff-ball mushroom whose outer layer splits open in a star shape when it's ready to release its spores. The star points open and close depending on the humidity, so on this exceedingly cloudy, and damp day... they were all open!
