Trent Country Park, Barnet, May 2016

An ethereal aerial view of the desert landscape, where sculpted sand dunes and dry riverbeds create an abstract masterpiece. The interplay of golden sands, white salt flats, and deep shadows showcases the raw beauty of nature’s ever-changing canvas

Visited the Smith College botanical greenhouses this weekend.

Seven to nine year olds discover mathematical patterns found in sunflowers, pine cones, and throughout nature while learning about a famous mathematician and exploring the Enchanted Garden. Held at the HCLS Miller Branch.

One of a few undescribed Triepeolus that Molly Rightmyer left undescribed after her revision of the group North of Mexico. She simply labeled it Sp. 101. This one was captured by Tim McMahon in Cochise County, Arizona. I think the side shot taken with some of the large orange pollen is artful to an extreme and one would like to have it float down the hallways of corporate America to remind them of some of their indirect customers. Pictures taken by Kelly Graninger.

USGSBIML Photoshopping Technique: Note that we now have added using the burn tool at 50% opacity set to shadows to clean up the halos that bleed into the black background from "hot" color sections of the picture.

Cornus canadensis, produces petal-like white bracts around a cluster of flowers in the centre. Here the flowers are past and the plant is producing its berries (actually drupes) which will be orange in colour when ripe and while edible, lack flavour, so are rarely eaten.
