It is rather cold outside (-24oC) and I really don't feel like going anywhere.. Though I did drive by the river and saw vapor rising from it looking very nice.. I did not take my camera with me though and maybe it's a good thing, especially considering the cold.. So .. Flower and colour it is again today. A little bit of summer and glorious fall..

I have a large poppy plant in a pot, bought last year. It survived the winter and has now flowered and gone to seed. A neighbour has/had some of these in his garden, not sure if they're still there. I was hoping my poppy would have been pollinated from his plants, but as these pods haven't opened, I'm guessing not. A candidate for 28th July Macro Mondays, but I went with the moss fern instead.
This is really different for me, playing with the macro a bit. View On Black
Texture is "Earth a bit dramatic" see the before

The Australian Banksia accumulates seeds in its canopy, releasing them only when conditions are suitable for establishing new plants. The delayed release of this mature seed bank is known as serotiny, and can require the preservation of seeds inside their pods for several years, somehow secured against damage from high levels of UV radiation, predation, changing weather conditions and microbial attack. Release is then triggered, often by the normally destructive agency of bushfires.
The Australian children's author, May Gibbs, featured villains called Big, Bad Banksia Men whose scary looks were modelled on these strange growths.
There are lots of these types of structures in the water all over Lake Biwa in Japan.
I'm not sure wether they are used for monitoring or perhaps warn of shallow water - either way they are pretty photogenic!
Asclepias syriaca - As September winds down, milkweed pods dry out and split open, releasing flat, brown seeds carried aloft by a white, silky fuzz known as milkweed floss. This was growing in our backyard in Carmel, New York.

Aves do Brasil - Tucano - Jardim Botânico - Rio de Janeiro - Brasil.
O tucano-de-bico-preto ou tucano-de peito-amarelo (Ramphastos vitellinus) é uma ave da ordem Piciformes, da famÃlia Ramphastidae.
Seu habitat são as florestas tropicais e pode ser encontrado em toda faixa litorânea que vai do Pará e Santa Catarina. Sua cor geral é preta, com a garganta e peito de cor amarelo gema de ovo e distingue-se dos demais tucanos, por possuir bico negro, mas na base apresenta uma zona amarela pálida.
Apesar do tamanho, seu bico é extremamente leve. Seu vôo não é longo e é feito em linha sinuosa. Vive em bandos de quatro a dez indivÃduos. Seu ninho é feito em ocos de árvores.
A preservação desta espécie é o maior interesse, pois estão entre os mais peculiares elementos da avifauna de nosso paÃs. O Ramphastus vitellinus pintoi é considerado extinto no estado de São Paulo. wikipedia
