As I was trying to get to sleep in my crappy S.R.O., I heard five firetrucks go screaming up 7th street. They stopped just past the split, so I jumped out of bed, grabbed my camera and ran down to capture burning wreckage and smoldering bodies, turned out it was nothing but a false alarm.

This False Sunflower (AKA "Heliopsis") is "starting to go" after a long bloom. Some bugs have munched at it, but what struck me was how the petals so uniformly began to lose their color, and those parts took on a very colorful appearance under my usual RGB trio of lights. Except for blackening the already-nearly-black background, there's no post processing here; this is the way the camera "saw" the flower under those lights and using its auto-white balance setting.

My entry for the Elysiun.com Weekend Challenge "False Power". Everything had to be made from scratch inside of one weeekend. I won this contest, and got to name the theme for the following week: "Once upon a time..."

Thanks for the comments and "faves" :)
Vancouver é uma cidade litorânea localizada na Lower Mainland da Colúmbia Britânica, no Canadá. O nome da cidade vem do capitão britânico George Vancouver, que explorou a área na década de 1790. O nome "Vancouver" origina-se do holandês "van Coevorden", denotando alguém de Coevorden, uma cidade nos Países Baixos.
Vancouver é a maior área metropolitana no Oeste do Canadá e ocupa a posição de terceira maior do país e de oitava maior cidade propriamente dita. Segundo o censo de 2006, Vancouver tinha uma população de pouco mais de 578.000 habitantes e a sua Área Metropolitana Censitária excede os 2,1 milhões de pessoas. Seus habitantes são etnicamente diversos, com 52% tendo uma língua materna diferente do Inglês.
Serrarias estabeleceram-se em 1867 na área conhecida como Gastown, que se tornou o núcleo em torno do qual a cidade cresceu. Vancouver foi incorporada como uma cidade em 1886. Em 1887, a ferrovia transcontinental foi prolongada até a cidade, para aproveitar o seu grande porto natural, que logo se tornou elo vital na rota de comércio entre o Oriente, leste do Canadá e Londres. O Porto de Vancouver é o maior e mais movimentado do Canadá, bem como o quarto maior porto (em tonelagem) da América do Norte. A indústria madeireira continua sendo sua maior fonte de renda, mas Vancouver também é conhecida como um centro urbano cercado pela natureza, fazendo do turismo a sua segunda maior indústria. É também o terceiro maior centro de produção cinematográfica na América do Norte depois de Los Angeles e Nova York, ganhando o apelido de "Hollywood do Norte".
Vancouver tem sido classificada como "a cidade mais habitável" no mundo há mais de uma década, de acordo com avaliações de revistas de negócios. Ele recebeu muitos congressos e eventos internacionais, incluindo a Conferência das Nações Unidas sobre Assentamentos Humanos de 1976 e a Exposição Mundial de Transporte e Comunicação de 1986 (Expo 86). Os Jogos Olímpicos de Inverno de 2010 e os Jogos Paraolímpicos de Inverno de 2010 foram realizados em Vancouver e nas proximidades de Whistler, comunidade a 125 km (78 milhas) ao norte de Vancouver, entre os dias 12 e 28 de fevereiro de 2010.
False Creek is a short inlet in the heart of Vancouver. It separates downtown from the rest of the city. It was named by George Henry Richards during his Hydrographic survey of 1856-63. Science World is located at its eastern end and the Burrard Street Bridge crosses its western end. False Creek is also spanned by the Granville Street and Cambie bridges. The Canada Line tunnel crosses underneath False Creek just west of the Cambie Bridge. It is one of the four major bodies of water bordering Vancouver along with English Bay, Burrard Inlet and the Fraser River.

limestone, 30 1/2 x 23 1/2 x 3 3/4 in.
This sculpted limestone slab was located on the interior wall of a tomb—a place where the living could go and make offerings and prayers to the dead. It represents a doorway to the beyond. The tomb belonged to a military leader named Fefi. On the offering table are hieroglyphs representing bread, beer, oxen, fowl, alabaster, and linen. The rest of the hieroglyphs on the sculpture describe Fefi and the prayers that have been made on his behalf to the deity of the afterlife, Anubis.

Her False Oath
Llw Gau
Wanton girl who beamed and lied
With casual oath, and denied
Our dalliance on the Cross,
Spurned my favours – to her loss –
And claimed – peril on her soul –
My naked limb did not steal
Her eager touch! Though she be loth
Enid must take back her oath!
Yes, yes, poet’s hand did grip
That poet’s gift. Yes, the lip!
Yes, breasts, beneath birchy wood,
Yes, arms! Behold – it was good –
Yes, every quaking member,
Yes, wantonness! Remember?
A barefaced liar, beggar you!
God knows! There’s nought we didn’t do!
Source material: Poem by Dafydd ap Gwilym, paraphrased by Giles Watson. One of Dafydd’s shortest poems, and one of a handful which are more or less sexually explicit. Enid is not the girl’s name, but a conventional title for a woman of exceptional beauty.

At least I think that's what this is. Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca. Found along the Franklin Falls Trail. Stack of 18 images at f4.0

Lindernia monticola, I think. Live Oak Landing. I've been using the Wildflowers of Alabama app and it's incredibly helpful for i.d. Hope the i.d. is correct!

This one somehow wandered up to the front porch but we took it back to its normal habitat at the river edge. Those rocks are hot in the sun. Beautiful creature.
False Garlic (Nothoscordum bivalve) is another species that is associated with rock outcrops in the Piedmont. This one was photographed at Grassy Mountain Heritage Preserve in SC.
One of two false killer whales at the whale and dolphin show. These guys are a bit larger than a dolphin and look very similar to a beluga whale...except their black. And no this isn't a fake photo (I'm looking at it and it looks a bit fake!)
Leptinotarsa juncta, found crawling on the ground and captured.
<--Scroll through my photostream to see a bunch of new photos from a botanically interesting area in the Piedmont of North Carolina, or look at the set from the trip.
(I'm still working on titles and tags on a few of them.)
