This shows perfectly how the Blusher got its name, the pressure from having to force through the thick moss floor has scraped away the velar covering to reveal the "blush" on the exposed flesh.
Edible when cooked but poisonous if eaten raw; the water it is cooked in should be discarded, best to avoid it altogether as it does contain dangerous toxins and confusion with other deadly Amanitas is possible. Distribution, America and Europe.

February is their mating season.
Found this black-crowned night-heron getting into position for hunting in the marshy shallow water. They can be quite patient too, sometimes found hunched over in the same position for an extensive time while waiting on some type of aquatic delight. They will defend their "hunting grounds" or territory as well, should another opportunistic feeder come along.
What I find most fascinating about them is that quite striking red eye ... they simply grab my attention.
Happy Sunday everyone!

Some of the best images I took at the Cathedral Gorge state Park were I positioned the cliff walls against a clearing sky just before sunset. With these images, I found that there was no sense of scale, adding mystery to the landscape. In reality, they were only about 20-30 feet in height, but with erosion patterns mimicking much larger landscapes in the southwest, they looked like massive towering structures. Nevertheless, I had some fun finding the best-looking ones and placing them against the rapidly clearing clouds.
Rapallo est une ville italienne d'environ 30 500 habitants, située dans la ville métropolitaine de Gênes, dans la région Ligurie, dans le nord-ouest de l'Italie.
Le château de Rapallo est un château situé au bord du golfe de Gênes, dans la ville italienne de Rapallo, construit à la deuxième moitié du XVIè siècle.
Il est positionné, contrairement à d'autres châteaux ou forteresses ligures, en face de l'eau sur la promenade Vittorio Veneto.
À l'intérieur se trouve une petite chapelle dédiée à saint Gaétan, construite en 1688 avec une coupole caractéristique avec sa cloche, bien visible à l'extérieur du château.
Le château est classé monument national italien par le ministère des Biens culturels.

This morning there was a little mist in the air, which made for some nice light rays sneaking through the trees. I got this shot on a walk down the driveway.

'The John Street Roundhouse in Toronto was built between 1929 and 1931 by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. It had stalls for 32 locomotives that were moved in and out of the structure on a huge 120-foot rotating turntable shown here. Locomotives were driven onto the turntable and rotated for positioning into one of the available stalls'.
Now part of the Toronto Railway Museum....

I looked at the weather forecast last night on my 'Clear Outside' weather app and the promise of mist until around 9am was predicted. I thought long and hard about where exactly I wanted to be and yet despite having shot Lake Bled on around five occasions recently, I really could not resist returning, not least because it's only a five minute drive for me.
However this morning I opted not to return to my usual vantage point, the wooden boardwalk, but to try and capture a selection of images that as others put it 'classic Nicholson'. So on arriving at the car park next to the campsite (3 EUR an hour, ouch), I wandered down to the wooden jetty opposite and set up the camera. There are a couple of beautiful, simple, wooden Pletna boats by the lakeside and so I started with them but noticed a couple of minutes later the rocks and wooden posts that line the edge of the walkway.
So I turned my attention to them while continuing to feature the iconic church island in the centre of the frame in the background. The mist was very prevalent which provided me with seemingly endless compositional possibilities. It is fair to say that I was in my element and I am never happier than when capturing images that are intrinsically mine in style.
The colour in the sky was subtle this morning but the church was visible for most of the time that I was there but I have a couple of images where it disappeared altogether. Once I had finished with this particular area, I drove up the road to another car park which allowed me a brisk ten minute walk down to the water's edge to photograph the island 'head on' as it was. The composition has the entrance to the island visible, along with the countless number of steps that take you up to the church but I shall share that another day.
To finish my morning's shoot, I took the steps to the Cafe Belvedere, which enjoys an elevated position over the lake and it gave me a lot of enjoyment watching life continuing below me. Pletna boats being powered by an electric motor around the lake, fishermen trying to land the odd fish or two in their small boats, and kayakers taking an early morning cruise around the island while ducks quacked, birds sang and life, in general, felt great. Oh, what a time to be out enjoying nature.
I hope that you enjoy the image. Feel FREE TO SHARE it if you wish

The position of this butterfly makes it look elongated. It reminds me of the great painter El Greco (1541-1614).
