Thanks for the comments and "faves" :)

A trawler makes its way from English Bay to False Creek in Vancouver, BC.

On our side gate today. 50 shot FS (4th attempt)

The fleet of yachts and cabin cruisers moored in front of Granville Island is reflected in the still surface of False Creek. Downtown Vancouver is in the background.

March 2009.

We couldn't find a trail leading up to the top of Delano Peak, so we settled for this outcropping. Actually, if we hadn't made our way up this direction, we never would have seen the mountain goats lounging up near its summit.

Y'see, we have this park across the street from our house that, to be honest, I'd pretty much written off as a city park that had been let go. Last fall I figured it was overrun with weeds, and I wouldn't find much interesting in it.

I was wrong.

Boltonia asteroides

why do people hide behind false pretences?

are they insecure, timid creatures afraid of gazing out in the light of the Truth, for the fact that it may prove too dazzling for them?

so they languish and decay in a insipid state of entropy, hiding behind masks and layers and veils;

hoping that one day, the theatrics of life will cease,

and they will stop being the joke of the show.

but little do they realise,

their childish antics,

are for all to see,

with the drama of the musing movements

of a shadow puppet show.

...Heliopsis helianthoides. Heliopsis means 'like the sun' and the species name helianthoides means 'like a sunflower'. Our first year growing this perennial and we hope it can survive the winter! I love it :)

Please don't let someone believe in something that isn't real. I dislike that.

"You wear a mask for so long, you forget who you were beneath it."

-V for Vendetta (is a fantastic movie and you should go watch it if you haven't already)

I LOVE getting to know people! I love learning absolutely everything about them. I just wish more people would realize how awesome they are and not try to fit into a stereotype. It seems that by the time someone matures enough to realize they should just be themselves, they have forgotten who they were. It makes me sad :(

And this is quite unrelated but I remember that the first time I watched this movie I thought the sarcasm, this quote included, was just hilarious. The Princess Bride:

Fezzik: Why do you wear a mask? Were you burned by acid, or something like that?

Westley: Oh no, it's just that they're terribly comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future.

False Creek Vancouver BC

(Enemion biternatum). Deep East Texas.

False Rue anemone was first documented in Texas in 1998, and to my knowledge it was only known from Red River County. I came upon this population on a spectacular hardwood slope on private land. The slope, which was reminiscent of a high quality eastern deciduous or southern Appalachian forest contained thousands of individuals that literally blanketed the forest floor.

I searched all over this garden and never found a plant, shrub or tree that grew beer and wine for me to sample from.

Grasses in my garden: False Oat Grass (Arrhenatherum elatius)

this creature is actually from the family of groupers

Oxalis triangularis, commonly called False Shamrock, is a species of edible perennial plant in the Oxalidaceae family. It is endemic to Brazil. This woodsorrel is typically grown as a houseplant but can be grown outside in USDA climate zones 8a-11, preferably in light shade. Jardins de Métis (Reford Gardens) , Grand-Métis, Quebec.

The Red Milkweed Beetle is one of my favorite insects to photograph. They feed on milkweed. This is a False Milkweed Beetle, and I read that they prefer to eat the seeds of false sunflower or ox-eye sunflower instead of milkweed. I found this one on my native sunflowers that I grew from seed. There is also the Small Milkweed Bug and the Large Milkweed Bug, all of which have different designs in black.
