The primroses and cowslips in the garden hybridised some years ago to produce these flowers known as False Oxlips
Obedient Plants are so named because the individual flowers, when they are moved in a new direction, will temporarily stay in that position. Interesting to think about how and why that characteristic evolved...yes? It's Friday, my friends, have a wonderful weekend!
I may be wrong but I think these are False Truffles, I keep finding little holes in the ground up the wood, when I investigated them I found these about 2cm deep, some half eaten, what would eat this? possibly squirrel?
On the way home from a camping trip I pulled over at Termo California (gateway to Madeline, Likely, and parts beyond). It was a good place for a leg stretch and, since starting my journey into near infrared photography, it has been on the list of places to explore in invisible light. There are the remains of an old gas station/market there as well as this old abandoned house with an old cottonwood tree in what used to be the front yard. I shot this image with my 590 nanometer filter, which allows the orange/red end of visible light through along with the near infrared. This allows for some interesting opportunities to get creative in post production and create interesting “false color” images such as this.
Termo, which as also gone by the names Snowstorm and Armstrong, is a bit of a ghost town in Lassen County, California. It was located on the now abandoned Southern Pacific Railroad line 32 miles (51 km) north-northeast of my own Lassen County home. I was the original 1900 terminus of the Nevada–California–Oregon Railway, before the line was extended north. In my youth a gas station and small market operated there but as highway speeds have gotten faster and automotive ranges have gotten longer, it has long since been abandoned and have also fallen into decay.

I found this fine looking specimen in a wooded area on on the North Downs a few weeks ago. I believe it is a False Death Cap but happy to be corrected.
Really hard to snap them sharp together, the DoF is so narrow but have a little choice with clouds everywhere plus my camera is designed to work on full speed only with f2.8 and below:( I still only get about 40% sharp shots from one run with that HSM lens, things will change soon as I get screwdriver lens;)
False Marten - Long-tailed Weasel juvenile doing its best impression of an American Marten in a Redwood fork. When photographing wildlife, I always enjoy capturing them in a variety of settings such as trees, rocks, etc. I think this is exciting because it gives me a better understanding of their natural history - and provides for a diverse range of images.
My goal was to get a better weasel in tree image. When I photographed them in 2018, I captured a weasel in the fork of a tree, but the lighting was too harsh.
Just as was leaving, and it was very dark outside, I saw this weasel shoot up a small redwood sapling. After being mobbed aggressively by some very unhappy California Towhees, he slide down and gave me a quick peep from the main trunk. I fired away 4 shots, and thankfully one of them was in focus.
Shortly after this, the weasel disappeared, only to pop up right near me and investigate! A great way to to wrap up the evening and I thought it was great how the redwood bark matched the weasel's coloration.
Species: Long-tailed Weasel (Mustela frenata)
Location: Northern California, CA, USA
Equipment: Nikon D850 + Nikkor 500mm f/4G ED VR
Settings: 1/400s, ISO: 3200, f/4.0 @500mm, +1.0 EV, Handheld
It's amazing how much these spread in a season. Nice to have, attractive to pollinators, but I think we'll have to set some limits...
Is it a beetle? Yes it is.
Is it a potato beetle? Yes.
Does it look like a potato beetle? Yes
The similar Colorado Potato Beetle is found throughout the USA, but this one, the "False Potato Beetle" is found only in Eastern USA. Eastern Potato Beetle would seem a more logical name...oh well.

I was really thirsty, too.
This is #17 of a series of photos all taken on one day and included in the album below.
The NW summit of Waddington has a false summit as well as a true summit. The false summit sits just to the south of the NW summit at the head of Angel Glacier, across a small saddle. In this photo from the true summit of Wadd an American climber is traversing from the NW summit over the saddle to the false summit.
You think your nearly there and then you get a little higher and realise it's a false summit... it happens a lot when walking the fells.. now I never believe I'm nearly there until I am there :-)

Could someone tell me how in the actual world Fuji Q Highland made it through 60 years of operation with it's history and conditions? How did they dodge the lawsuits and the safety inspections. It's only redeeming factor is going in for free and for what? Photos I suppose I still got some good ones, despite the terrible status the park was in.
This shot looked a little cleaner compared to the others. Got a very good backdrop with multiple buildings, the coaster Takabisha in the background (the world's steepest roller coaster), and Fuji behind it. Because of the complicated composition being behind the coaster I couldn't enlarge Fuji even though I really wanted to. This does not look like Fuji Q's true state, but rather how it's advertised. So when I came to editing I tried to do a challenge I've never tried before: To INTENTIONALLY make it look fake.
Changed the shadows and hues in multiple places including the sky and the building on the left. And sized down the image as best I could (the frame was bigger originally for no reason). And for the first time I opted to use a white gradient instead of a black one.
I guess I'm chastising a bit too much cause if we're talking about the big open spaces this is actually what the place looks like. But I would not advise people to come here for amusement purposes. Uh, I mean: World record coasters! 5 star customer service! All in Fuji's shadow! Best local theme park in Nippon! Totally not questionable at all!
