A nodding thistle's flower—an invasive plant species in North America—eclipses the setting sun in a field near McKinney, Texas.
Winter has just begun, and already my thoughts turn to spring :). Taken on one of the trails in my neighborhood.
"Davvero non so dirti
dov’è che il niente disfa
la trama di ogni giorno,
dove, non visto, scioglie
i nodi, ad uno ad uno."
Francesco Scarabicchi
Alla vita basta un niente per sciogliere, non vista, i nodi del nostro dolore. O delle nostre certezze.
Nodding Pohlmoos
The Nodding Pohlmoos is a common but not common moss that grows in loose to dense, green to yellowish-green, somewhat glossy lawns up to 2 cm high. It bears fruit in spring and summer and can be found regularly with capsules. The picture was taken in my natural garden after a rain shower.
Streptocarpella is a common plant for hanging pots and its long stemmed flowers hang and bob gently up and down in the slightest breeze. A closer look in the dark shows it has more to offer. This one is outside under shelter in my Gold Coast hinterland home garden.
I really wasn't sure about the composition of this one as the top of the main snowdrops is quite close to the top of the frame. However, having said that, there is something about it that I quite like.
Quite a few of these beauties blooming in the Thompson Prairie area of Upper Hixon Forest right now.
Lovely shapes and knarred old trunks of these 900 year old oak trees.
Although described as " petrified" the trees are not fossilised but simply dead possibly from salt water seeping into the ground from old waterways on the Dengie Peninsula.
Not what I expected to photograph, when I took the 18-35 out! It can be quite multi-functional.

Taken for Saturday Self Challenge - 05/12/2020 - Shadowplay .
Well this week apart half a day with a short spell of sunshine ( when I was down at the dump ! ) there have not been any shadows to work with , so it had to be an indoor set up job . A couple of total failures including a pair of model Native American Indians which I had grand plans of putting them together with one flipped horizontally so the shadows were falling in different directions but fell down at the join . So after a few tries it came down to the swan and the fairy - the swan won and the fairy is in the first comment box , fair to say a little bit of influence from JoLynne's shot from last week as to presentation - thanks JoLynne .
and so to a song or two
First up one called " Shadowplay " by Rory Gallagher - who got mentioned by Jimi Hendrix in an interview -------------
When Mike Douglas asked Jimi "What's it was like to be the best rock guitarist in the world?" Jimi responded "I don't know, you'll have to ask Rory Gallagher" Despite the fact Rory toured the world and sold over 30 million albums, he never achieved mainstream fame.
And to make sure you are not nodding off --------------

Nodding Catchfly (フクロナデシコ)
Blooming pale pink, pink, and white in loose clusters,
this wildflower loves to cascade over walls and garden edges.
ON MY KNEES, I CAN SEE FOREVER

Vanaf Roosendaal verzorgde 7783 van Lineas de tractie voor het opvallende transport door België richting de Franse grens. De 6503 van DB Cargo liep achterop mee om in geval van nood direct kop te kunnen maken.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and favoring my images. Enjoy the day.
This weedy flower from my local wetlands had a lovely curve. Shot on an angle for Macro Monday. HMM:))
Probably will be blooming within the week. Our cool spring has kept the wildflowers from blooming quickly and seems to be making them last longer, which is great! Photographed in Beaver Creek Valley State Park near Caledonia, Minnesota.
A noio kōhā perches on a sea cliff ledge on the north shore of Oahu. Brown noddies are common throughout the tropical Pacific and Atlantic. Head nodding is a part of its courtship repertoire from which its common name is derived.
Provi a sciogliere
i nodi della vita,
anche i più intricati,
con frenetiche dita
e unghie e denti,
sperando ogni volta
che quello che ti impegna
sia l'ultimo.
Ma poi ti chiedi,
al di là della fatica,
cosa sarebbe la vita
se non richiedesse sforzi,
se non ti opponesse
ostacoli da superare,
occasioni per misurare
il tuo coraggio, l'abilità,
l'intelligenza?
(I. Amico)
