12 - 24mm wide angle lens used near to the stem to give that long stem effect.
This flower was just taken from a vase of flowers and held up to the sky for the shot.
Just a quick sharpen and contrast boost added and a little lens flare just for effect !
Clean stem glasses are stored upside down in a bar. A play of warm light, shadows and reflections. The impression of cleanliness.
Asclepias tuberosa is a species of milkweed native to eastern North America. It is a perennial plant growing to 0.3–1 metre (1 ft 0 in–3 ft 3 in) tall, with clustered orange or yellow flowers from early summer to early fall. The leaves are spirally arranged, lanceolate, 5–12 cm long, and 2–3 cm broad.
This plant favors dry, sand or gravel soil, but has also been reported on stream margins. It requires full sun.
It is commonly known as butterfly weed because of the butterflies that are attracted to the plant by its color and its copious production of nectar. It is also the larval food plant of the Queen and Monarch butterflies. Hummingbirds, bees and other insects are also attracted.[2]
Use of the plant is contraindicated in pregnancy, during lactation or with infants due to the small amount of cardiac glycosides.[3]
The plant looks similar to the lanceolate milkweed (Asclepias lanceolata), but is uniquely identified by the larger number of flowers, and the hairy stems that are not milky when broken. It is most commonly found in fields with dry soil. Thanks to those who view, comment or save my photo. It will be highly appreciated. No multi invites please. I will not comment or save a photo made by a cell phone, Ipads, or similar devices.
Cyathea medullaris, popularly known as the black tree fern or mamaku, is a large tree fern up to 20 m tall. The trunk is covered with hexagonal stipe bases. C. medullaris is distributed across the south-west Pacific from Fiji to Pitcairn and New Zealand.
Kids learn quick. If in the alps, older guys could sure ski a whole lot better on the well-pressed snow. But I wonder if they can here. ;) Taken in Rokko Mountain Snow Park.

Last night I opened a bottle of Prosecco and, yes, I can down a whole bottle in one evening, but I didn't. What was left, was a well earned reward for spending most of today gardening.

As oftentimes only children can, a little girl rights the water-droplet lens of an upside down world by simply changing her perspective…the playful art of seeing upside down.
PLEASE dont forget to add your photos to this group I cant beleive they have still not met the 30,000 photos target, and its nearly end Oct, so only a week left.

Explored 17th August 2010 - Highest position #99 - Thanks to all of you for visiting and the lovely comments/faves/awards and invites that you have gave me - very much appreciated - take care Linda :-)
Thought the stems were very interesting with their hanging jewel like bits - somebody else will probably describe it more poetically than me :-)
As I walked through the produce section, I stopped in amazement when I spotted the broccoli romanesque. I knew immediately that it was an example in nature of a fractal pattern.

"Blanket Flower Stem" by Patti Deters. A single Indian Blanket flower (Gaillardia pulchella) dares to bloom in a sea of green, a beacon of color against the muted blurred background. Its fiery hues seem to dance in the sunlight, a reminder of nature's vibrant palette. This wildflower is a striking blend of yellow and red petals that are pinked (pinnatifid) on the edges atop a tall perfectly straight stem. Soft bokeh effects in the background enhance the dreamy, serene and minimalist atmosphere. Thank you for viewing this image.

With just the tiniest of leaves beginning to sprout, the wild blueberry stem is fragile and resilient.
One mushroom, amazingly common in southeastern states like North Carolina, that piques the interest of people who find it in their yards, gardens, and other human-maintained green spaces, is the ringless honey mushroom, Armillaria tabescens; a distinguishing feature that aids in identifying it is the consistency of the stem and the top of the mushroom cap: a tough, somewhat hollow stem often with stringy fibrous material stuffed inside, making it hard to break the mushroom apart easily, and it certainly does not snap open like chalk (as in the genus Russula, another common group of wild mushrooms growing in yards and lawns); stems should be white, fibrous, and almost woody, on mature mushrooms grey at the base, and when broken, appear jagged, fibrous, and almost look like a broken stick

Charlotte, NC – 2018AUG22 – Ringless Honey Mushroom:
We've had record rainfall lately – the wettest July on record and the 2nd wettest month ever – and just "overnight" these two clusters of edible mushrooms popped in our backyard, Armillaria tabescens, growing with explosive speed, often reach full maturity in a day or two, growing in clusters of multiple individuals arising from the same spot in the ground.
By average rainfall in Charlotte, NC (USA), the wettest month is March: an average 4.4" of rain falls on 11-12 days, though in July rain typically falls on more days, with 3.5" in 12-13 days, the driest month, November: an average of 3.0" in 9-10 days, though in October rain typically falls less days, 3.3" in 7-8 days.
Hope you enjoy the 16% of 49 photos I took here this day!
