This is one of the False Morels (Gyromitra sp.), a poisonous species found growing in woodlands in the northern US. I personally don't think it looks much like a true morel, but apparently it has been mistaken for them in the past. Photographed in mid May on the shore of Mountain Lake in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, northern Minnesota.
The false stack from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Presidential Yacht USS Potomac. The stack contained an elevator with ropes and pulleys. President Roosevelt could raise or lower himself in his wheelchair using his upper body strength. The restored yacht is in Oakland, California, but the stack is mounted at Long Wharf Park in Cambridge, Maryland.

Working nights to get this island built in False Creek. The reasoning behind the need for this island totally escapes me. Had trouble with lens flare from the long exposure and the brilliant bright work lights
The night train from Åre arrives very early in Stockholm, so I took the opportunity to get some early-morning shots. Not many turned out, though, probably due to me being essentially unable to sleep on trains.
I believe this is False Aster, otherwise known as "White Doll's-Daisy." Then again, it may be Heath Aster. :-)

Quick hand-held video of False Creek this afternoon, as seen from the Burrard St. Bridge. (The noise is unseen bridge trafffic behind me.)
combination of two photos I took - one in Puerto Rico at El Yunque National Forest and the other Heirapolis, Turkey
Do I fake the lomo-effect : Yes and No.
The lens is the Industar-69 fitted to a Sony Nex-3, so I got about the same focal then the Lomo-LCA and a russian lens. The lens is vignetting and has some major problems with sharpness. Lomography doesn't sell original russian lenses no more, they are chinese, but I do.
I do not use film, but what is the point, the so called special effects film are made for the purpose, but finally you need to have a digital support to upload the pics. What you do with your digital support is your choice..., for those shots, I have increased the contrast and used the Alien Skin Exposure Kodak Lomo effect.
Think and do not buy!
Yes, these are not cherry tomatoes. I was fooled by their appearance, when I saw them on the plant (for the first time) but the locals cautioned me that these are not edible and are highly poisonous. They belong to the tomato family and are similar to cherry tomatoes in taste and texture. Locals call them junglee mirchi (trade name wild cherry). These are cultivated for their ornamental flowers and are also used for festive decorations.
Still want to taste them? You can find them here in the mountains of Himachal Pradesh, India.

The photo was taken from Charleson Park looking across False Creek toward Yaletown.

My first false morel (Gyromitra esculenta)!!!
I am still on a mission to find my first morel and there is a hope. Gyromitra esculenta is found in the spring about the same time as the true morels. They can be found in roughly the same areas as the true morels and often grow in close proximity to one another. Will be checking this weekend.
To be precise, credit for spotting this hard to find species should be given to Suzanna neithernor.tumblr.com/

The strings we create ourselves are built from all kinds of materials;
emotion, lust, endorphins, loneliness, coincidence.
All of these strings can tatter and break.
Though the red sting tangles in your negligence, it never frays.
About the series:
There's a story in Asian folklore that a red string ties together two people who are destined to be together. This string can stretch and become tangled, but can never be severed.
These are scenes I took inspired by this story.
