A tiny tropical bloom reaches for a beam of sunlight from a dark corner of the greenhouse. Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, New York Botanical Garden, the Bronx, NYC -- May 21, 2022
I was trying to think of the word which describes a plants turning toward the sunlight: heliotropism or phototropism
As if reaching with that last gasp of life on its golden bed, this gnarled and aging sage bush, takes on the look of a retired hand. Outstretched to its limit, it is a wonderful and abstract symbol illustrating the desire to cling onto life after grappling with the harshest of elements.
Hey flickr-friends, I don't usually publish the milestones, but with this photo I will reach 5 million views on flickr with my portfolio and I'd just like to use the moment to thank all of you! Especially if you've been around from the beginning 2.5 years ago! Thank you all! Have a wonderful day!

Lake Mungo, dried-up lake and archaeological site in west-central New South Wales, Australia, located in and around Mungo National Park. Lake Mungo is one of 17 dried Pleistocene Epoch (about 2.6 million to 11,700 years go) lake beds in the Willandra Lakes region, which was designated a World Heritage site in 1981.
Lake Mungo, which dried up about 14,000 years ago, became one of the world’s most important archaeological sites when geologist Jim Bowler unearthed the remains of a young Aboriginal woman in 1968. The bones of the skeleton, referred to as Mungo Lady, had been burnt before burial, making them the world’s oldest evidence of cremation and ceremonial burial. In 1974 Bowler discovered the complete skeleton of a man, known as Mungo Man. Carbon-14 dating indicated that these remains were approximately 40,000 years old, meaning that Mungo Lady and Mungo Man were the oldest human remains found in Australia to that date.

The Laugavegur is a famous trekking route in South-West Iceland from the hot springs area of Landmannalaugar to the glacial valley of Þórsmörk . It is noted for the wide variety of landscapes on its 55 km (34 mi) path. The route is typically completed over 2–4 days with potential stops at the mountain huts at Hrafntinnusker, Álftavatn, Hvanngil and Emstrur. An ultramarathon is held on the route each July. It is possible to combine the trek with the Fimmvörðuháls route which goes over the pass from Þórsmörk to Skógar for an additional one or two days or an additional 25 km (16 mi). Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk, and Skógar are all reachable by bus during the summer. A bus from Hella connects with Álftavatn once a day during the summer.
I have been passing these trees regularly, now, for perhaps a year, and their forms still catch my attention, every time. Here on a frosty morning, looking past the tree into a bright sky.

If you like my photographs, why not consider buying a print of one of my images at captures.life? Please note that I haven't yet finished building the site and putting in all of the terms and conditions and policies, but the bits that involve buying a print, having it delivered, and contacting me if anything isn't working or goes wrong are functioning just fine...
It's as if these buds are stretching out towards passers by to show them the beauty of the single open flower.
"I′m holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say
But I just can′t make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I′d turn around and say
That it′s too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it′s too late to apologize, it's too late
Too late, oh"

Daisies in a flower bed along the canal path in Erba Park. Fierce storm clouds blew away briefly, and it was nice and sunny for this shot. [P1130539_lr_3000]
Thank you all for the clicks, comments and faves.
H.TMT I was thinking there's a Tree Of Life, what about a tree of death. This one could be a contender for that title.

…or where the fire meets the houses. The CalWood fire reaches the base of the mountains after a downhill/ downwind sprint (see previous post for more thorough description). With minimal warning, all residents of houses in the potential path of the fire were able to evacuate, some with harrowing stories of driving vehicles past exploding trees. Sadly 26 homes were lost to the fire, though it could have been far worse. The fire hit the boundary with the former Overland fire (2003, on the left in the photo) with a loss of fuel (trees) and began to slow down significantly. Flames are faintly visible in the lower center of the picture burning through grass. The fire continued to burn slowly toward the south for a few days, but has been largely contained and will probably be extinguished by 2 cold fronts coming through the area in the next 4 days. The brownish color of the clouds is real and is the result of the ash emitted by the burning vegetation. Cumulus clouds of water droplets are visible in the back, partially obscured by smoke from different fires to the west (left).
