Fifth image in this autumn botany series...
Many of the sunflowers surrounding this flower had pretty well dried up and lost their color. This was the exception and it was still bursting with beauty. I believe this particular variety is called 'Ring of Fire', and you can see why.
The chilly October air made this bumblebee slow and almost motionless, almost as if it were sleeping. I'm used to them buzzing about frenetically in the warm summertime, making it a challenge to get good focus. But not here... nice and still :)
Enjoy this macro close up!

I captured this image on a chilly January morning at Lake Almanor in Plumas County, California, USA, near the wonderful little town of Chester. I loved the vibrant tones in the sky that were reflected off both the small patch of open water and the surrounding ice.
Lake Almanor was flooded when the 130 foot tall earthen dam was completed in 1914 by the Great Western Power Company. The lake gets its name from Great Western’s President Guy Earl’s three dauthers, Alice, Martha, and Eleanor. Currently used by the Pacific Gas and Electric Company for hydroelectric generation, it is a very popular destination for scores of recreational users.
Seen growing from a mass of succulent like leaves surrounding a road name sign and matched on the other side of the road with a similar road sign and a similar plant although this one had the better flower spike . To the best of my knowledge and a bit of help from the Plantfinder app this should be Phormium Tenax . At a guess the top of the fower spike must be a good ten feet above ground level !

L588 twists through the narrow right-of-way in the neighborhood surrounding downtown Wausau, Wisconsin, making a rare daylight run down this former Milwaukee Road Line.
First, in line, William Laughlin built a three-story log gristmill on the Cumberland County frontier. In order to generate power to turn the grindstone, he built a dam that provided water power equal to that of fifteen horses to turn the waterwheel. Laughlin's was the first mill on Big Spring and it ground wheat and other grain for the people in the surrounding countryside. Laughlin's mill continued to produce whole wheat flour until 1896 when the Laughlin family sold it to the Newville Water Company, which removed the milling equipment and installed a turbine to drive hydraulic pumps that supplied the town's municipal water mains.

I love the fragile filaments upholding yellow orange pollen covered stamens. The leaves form a perfect cup for accumulating water drops. And the purple surrounding edges. A simple groundcover that is simply beatutiful.
Tradescantia pallida is a species of spiderwort commonly known as Wandering Jew, though it cannot be said when, where, or by whom it was first called this. But, considering the term's negative connotation, it would be safe to assume the originator's intent was not to highlight the plant's more favorable qualities. Other common names include Purple Heart and Purple Queen.
T. pallida can be primarily described as an evergreen scrambling perennial plant distinguished by elongated, pointed leaves - themselves glaucous green, fringed with red or purple - and bearing small, sterile three-petaled flowers of white, pink or purple.
Widely used as an ornamental plant in gardens and borders as a ground cover, hanging plant, or - particularly in colder climates where it cannot survive the winter season - houseplant, it is propagated easily by cuttings (the stems are visibly segmented and roots will frequently grow from the joints). It is shade-tolerant and can thrive in a wide range of soil conditions where it has not been intentionally cultivated and carefully maintained. In areas throughout the southern United States and Australia, it is considered an invasive weed and has defied many attempts at control or eradication.
As a houseplant, T. pallida is exceptionally effective at improving indoor air quality by filtering out Volatile Organic Compounds, a class of common pollutants and respiratory irritants, via a process known as phytoremediation.

Biscayne Park, FL
Chigawa, which rises in Kita Alps, is a tributary of Saigawa river. Its middle reaches and surrounding forests are protected as Alps Azumino Park for local tourism such as hiking, camping and fishing as compared to Chuubusangaku (中部山岳 Central Mountains) National Park that covers most of the important peaks of northern Japan Alps and caters to mountaineers and climbers.
The title describes the area surrounding New Albin aptly, and here we see an AC44 pair, CSXT 52 and NS 4255, lead Canadian Pacific train 694(?) southbound, south of New Albin, IA, just a bit north of Kains siding, through that territory of the railroad. The next big opening up into farmland heading south from here is around Harpers Ferry. Until then they'll continue skirting the Mississippi and its contributing streams and adjacent sloughs and wetlands. Pretty sure this guy came empty from the mines out near Sparta or Tunnel City, WI to load these 2 bays at Pattison in Clayton, IA--Iowa's only frac sand mine that has enough output to warrant rail traffic. I miss foaming up here. Taken on the Canadian Pacific Marquette Subdivision on 9/24/22.

These trees were flooded, when the Rhine extended his bank into the surrounding plains near Cologne. Right in the morning, the mist created this surreal look of the trees just standing there in this white/greyish enviroment.
The picture isn't converted into black & white, there just was nearly no color available from the light.
I saw this Hermit Thrush kicking up leaves and foraging deep in the woods at about 5pm today. There was still enough light to provide backlighting to the surrounding foliage and when it hopped onto an old stump the setting was just right for a portrait shot.
Located in the wooded hills of the Wood Mountain Uplands, the community of Rockglen is central to an area rich in Indigenous and archeological history. It is a full-service community that offers a variety of businesses and facilities to its residents and visitors alike. The town and surrounding area provide endless choices for recreational activities including boating, hiking, touring, photography, hunting and a variety of local events.
Vestiges from before the last ice age, a land of hidden treasures, petrified wood and fossils, hammers and arrows of the Assiniboine, Plains Cree, and Blackfoot peoples. But it is the followers of Sitting Bull who left one of the strongest impressions. Following the Battle of Little Bighorn 5,000 Lakota Sioux Lakota fled to the Wood Mountain Uplands where they were under the jurisdiction of the North-West Mounted Police under the command of Major James Morrow Walsh. The hills, first surveyed by the Henry Youle Hind expedition in 1858, were used for hunting by day, and at night fires could be seen of meat being smoked. In 1879 the U.S. Cavalry set fires in Montana that spread and burned the grasslands of Rockglen, causing the ensuing famine and leading to the toponym "The Burning Hills".
It is in these Burning Hills where the Ferbane ranch was located. By 1910 the homestead became a post office, soon German and Austro-Hungarian settlers built homesteads out of tar paper shacks and sod huts. Wood building were built for businesses, such as the pool hall, which also contained the Wesley Methodist church, which became the Wesley United Church of Canada in 1925; Valley City became an unofficial community.
To the north the Kent homestead became a post office in 1915. Soon thereafter Beromé Prefontaine built a store and by 1917 Joeville, named for Joseph Prefontaine, was founded as a village. In 1926 Joeville was a prosperous community when the Canadian Pacific Railway constructed a rail line south from Assiniboia, Saskatchewan. The Saskatchewan Wheat Pool and Alberta Pacific both built elevators along the line. Joeville split into the French community of Liseux near the new elevators and 26 buildings were moved south to the new CPR junction near Valley City. Valley City was relocated north of the tracks and incorporated as the Village of Rockglen in 1927.
Services were soon established in the tiny village. Mr. Sproul ran a school out of the Pinking Hotel on Centre Street. It was a community effort with desks and blackboards furnished by local carpenters and fundraising organized by Mr. Sproul. To the relief of Centre Street commerce a proper school house was built in 1928. It had three rooms: Mr. Preston as principal and two classes instructed by Miss Campbell and Miss Jarvis. In 1929 the Red Cross built a hospital, and a permanent post office was built, as was a branch of the Imperial Bank of Canada, and Charlie Switallo’s hardware store, which was the longest running Rockglen business to date.
Electric lighting was provided from 1929–1950 by the Rockglen Power Company, which ran every day from dusk to midnight, when three flashes indicated shut down. It wasn’t until 1950 when the Saskatchewan Power Corporation came to Rockglen that full 24-hour 120- and 240-volt electric service came to Rockglen.
The depression caused rural decline which was furthered by mechanization of agriculture during the later stages and in the time following the Second World War. Nearby Constance and Strathcona were dissolved and the one-room rural school houses were replaced by a system of buses and Bombardier tracked vehicles for winter use. Rockglen grew to a population of 500 persons when incorporated as a town with L. J. Bolster elected the first mayor. During the 1960s a new school was constructed, as well as a new post office, school office, Imperial Bank of Canada, and hotel.
The late 1970s saw a rise of inflation, combined with exceptionally high grain prices; many farmers retired and moved into Rockglen. In 1975 construction began on the Poplar River Power Station in nearby Coronach commissioned in 1981. 1981 also saw the construction of a new Saskatchewan Wheat Pool elevator. This is currently the last elevator in Rockglen and is owned by Poplar Valley Producers Co-operative. The resulting population influx had led to development of homes along Second Avenue and construction of Hillcrest Drive. To date, these are the newest housing developments in Rockglen. In 1988, Rockglen resident Jack Wolfe was elected as a Progressive Conservative Member of Legislative Assembly a position in which he served until 1991.

All the photos I present were taken in the town of Taormina;
I made photos related to "street photography";
I photographed people who, for the most part, I had never met before, performing their portraits, I thank them for their sympathy and availability;
The volcano Etna, in recent days has shown an intense eruptive activity, I photographed that spectacular eruptions from Taormina;
I tried to capture minimal photographic stories, collected walking down the street .. ... in search of fleeting moments ...
For some photographs I used a particular photographic technique at the time of shooting, which in addition to capturing the surrounding space, also "inserted" a temporal dimension, with photos characterized by being moved because the exposure times were deliberately lengthened, they are confused -focused-imprecise-undecided ... the Anglo-Saxon term that encloses this photographic genre with a single word is "blur", these images were thus created during the shooting phase, and not as an effect created subsequently, in retrospect, in the post-production.
………………………………………………………
Tutte le foto che presento sono state realizzate nella cittadina di Taormina;
ho realizzato foto riconducibili alla “street photography”;
ho fotografato persone che, per la maggior parte, non avevo incontrato prima, eseguendo dei loro ritratti, le ringrazio per la loro simpatia e disponibilità;
il vulcano Etna, nei giorni scorsi ha mostrato una intensa attività eruttiva, anche con intensi fenomeni chiamati "fontane di lava", emissioni a getto continuo perdurate intensamente per molti minuti, di altissime "fontane" di magma incandescente, molto spettacolari e non comuni, le fotografie dell'Etna sono state realizzate da Taormina;
ho provato a cogliere storie fotografiche minime, raccolte camminando per la strada ... alla ricerca di attimi fugaci s-fuggenti ...
Ho utilizzato per alcune fotografie una tecnica fotografica particolare al momento dello scatto, che oltre a catturare lo spazio circostante, ha "inserito" anche una dimensione temporale, con foto caratterizzate dall’essere mosse poiché volutamente sono stati allungati i tempi di esposizione, sono confuse-sfocate-imprecise-indecise...il termine anglosassone che racchiude con una sola parola questo genere fotografico è "blur", queste immagini sono state così realizzate in fase di scatto, e non come un effetto creato successivamente, a posteriori, in fase di post-produzione.

Were it not for the rich coal deposits buried deep under its rocky surface, the Gobi Desert surrounding Sandaoling would be good for just about nothing. It's a harsh, lifeless place, so bitterly cold and brutally windy that only the most hardy of organisms can survive its inhospitable conditions. The ragged JS class steam locomotives that convey endless streams of coal out of the mine pit are in their element here, camouflaged beneath their weathered steel skin from the drab and dreary landscape where they perform their practice, though the towering plumes of white steam they emit make them hardly inconspicuous. Having dumped its payload only a few moments prior at the facility known rather colloquially as the "new unloader", JS #8190 shouts to the heavens and unleashes its vaporized byproduct into the subfreezing air at the command of an engineer eager to turn on another round trip down to the mine. 8190 will come to a screeching halt once its semaphore caboose on the rear is clear of the switch before making a reverse move onto the track at left for the trek back to the open pit.
Unfortunately, security is tight surrounding the church so it was difficult to shoot any photos inside the gates.
A bit of history:
St. John’s Church became famous as a living memorial to American liberty when over 100 Virginia colonial leaders, including Patrick Henry, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Richard Henry Lee, and Peyton Randolph met here in 1775. Patrick Henry’s famous “Give me Liberty or Give me Death” speech was delivered on March 23, 1775 inside the church.
This was the first church built in the city of Richmond. It was completed in 1741 as part of the Henrico Parish. The parish was established in 1611. The graveyard is the site of the first public cemetery in Richmond. In 1961, the National Park Service designated St. John’s Church a National Historic Landmark.
Tha Gyar Hit Phaya is one of the smaller pagodas but it is possible to climb to higher levels through small tunnel stairways and able to walk around the outside of pagoda through narrow walkways. This temple provides wide views of the surrounding temples. Parts of the pagoda and it’s walkways is falling apart. It is located on Bagan-Nyaung-U Rd north of Old Bagan Myanmar.
Sunset landscape of the River Dão. The clouds that can be seen are not normal clouds, but smoke from surrounding fires
I was really drawn into all of the different textures surrounding this staircase, just outside of Admiralty Station. It was pretty far into another long night of photography and so we didn’t actually climb the stairs, so I’m not sure what mystery lay at the top. Who knows!
At one point I was shooting straight up the staircase from the bottom step. At that exact time, a guy was taking a photograph from the top. I hope I didn’t ruin his shot.

I know, I know. Hong Kong, again! I’m not wealthy- I just keep spending all my money on going there. I don’t think they say ‘Fourth Times the Charm’ but this trip was just that - a success. For almost the entire time I kept my mental health issues at bay. It was a good trip. After three disasters - It is really nice to say that.
High up, at over 3500m altitude, there was once again a wonderful sunrise to be experienced. The clouds have disappeared and there was an incredibly beautiful view of the surrounding mountains.

Found in the lovely garden surrounding our city's arts center.
In truth, this plant is in the Iris family, not in the Lily family.
Also called the Leopard lily, the Blackberry Lily gets its name due to the seeds it produces, which look much like blackberries.
A relatively new flower created in 2005 by crossbreeding two different plants and producing this stunning flower!
For me, a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearance changes
at every moment; but the surrounding atmosphere brings it to life - the light
and the air which vary continually. For me, it is only the surrounding
atmosphere which gives subjects their true value.

bee on cranesbill in my garden
Explore 2021-06-28 😃
Not only on Mondays the blue flowers like cranesbill, sage and of course the lavender are always well occupied with wild bees and bumblebees. They really dig blue flowers 😉 Happy new week everybody 😄☀️
Bees prefer to approach the colors blue and yellow. They cannot recognize the color red as such - because bees are red-blind. When bees leave their hive to scout the surrounding area for rich sources of foraging they only see the red flowers as a dark spot. A poppy blossom field that is red-covered for us is completely black from the bee's point of view. However, they can detect ultraviolet light very well because they orient themselves to the position of the sun when flying. The flowering plants use these abilities of the bees for themselves and have pigments that reflect the ultraviolet light of the sun.

It didn't take long for us to leave the environs of Whitby and escape into the surrounding countryside
This barn and the surrounding buildings are a striking sight from the highway.
Spalding County Georgia on a cloudy day
This is some of the boarding surrounding the grounds of the Harborough Rubber Works in my hometown of Market Harborough which has been left to a state of near dereliction.
I hope that the council's claim to have plans to restore it are true as it's a stunning old building fronting one of the main thoroughfares of the town and backing onto the river Welland.
Across the river there's an apartment building with small balconies. Lights from some of these apartments can be seen through the gap in the boarding.
I like the silhouetted leaves in shades of blue that danced about in the breeze.
Disturbed ~ The Sound Of Silence
The Roaches and surrounding area in the Peak District is an absolutely fantastic location for photography. There are so many things to hike to and photograph in the relatively small area. One of my favourite subjects is Roach End Barn. Roach end barn is an old abandoned barn which is extremely versatile as a subject, whether you want a sunrise, sunset or astro shot.

Departure Bay is a bay in central Nanaimo, British Columbia, on the east coast of Vancouver Island. The surrounding neighbourhood is also referred to as "Departure Bay". It was once a settlement of its own, it was amalgamated into the City of Nanaimo in the 1970s.
Green algae surrounding the withered lotus flowers in the pond just outside the Tenryuji in Kyoto, Japan
Tenryuji (天龍寺) is the most important temple in Kyoto's Arashiyama district. It was ranked first among the city's five great Zen temples, and is now registered as a world heritage site. Built in 1339, Tenryuji's buildings were repeatedly lost in fires and wars over the centuries, and most of the buildings as they stand today are reconstructions from the latter half of the Meiji period. The garden to the west of the abbey, created by Musō Soseki, shows only traces of its original design. [Source: japan-guide.com mostly]

Mon troisième jour sur Séoul. Une matinée où je traîne encore dans les quartiers environnants la "Galerie K" où j'expose. L'art me semble présent ici et partout, s'affichant sous de si nombreuses formes. Ici aussi, comme à Tokyo, des immeubles peuvent être entièrement consacrés à une galerie unique. Eaux et gaz à tous les étages. Dans l'un d'entre eux, je ne croiserais pas âme qui vive sur 4 étages. Je finirai sur sa terrasse à succomber à l'enivrement des lieux et de la cité. Après un déjeuner délicieux composé surtout d'une poule cuite au bouillon, farcie de riz aromatisé, je file vers l'ambassade des Etats Unis, en passant par le bâtiment 119, histoire de prendre la température suite à l'énorme manifestation de la veille. Calme plat, flics un peu partout. Là se trouve aussi l'immense Palais royal de Gyeongbokgung. Un lieu où tout est vaste. Ici le mystère s'établit pas à pas devant vos yeux. J'y pénétrerai le lendemain et assisterai même à la levée de sa garde. Un peu plus tard après une nouvelle douche à l'hôtel, je reprendrai ma marche errante dans la nuit de Séoul. Le GPS sera ma boussole en des lieux que je ne saurai nommer, désolé.

My third day on Seoul. A morning where I still hang in the surrounding neighborhoods "Gallery K" where I expose. Art seems to me here and everywhere, appearing in so many forms. Here too, as in Tokyo, buildings can be entirely dedicated to a single gallery. Water and gas on all floors. In one of them, where I would not cross a living soul on 4 floors. I will finish on his terrace to succumb to the intoxication of the place and the city. After a delicious lunch consisting mostly of a chicken cooked in broth, stuffed with flavored rice, I go to the Embassy of the United States, through building 119, just to take the temperature following the huge demonstration of the day before. Quiet flat, cops everywhere. There is also the huge royal palace of Gyeongbokgung. A place where everything is vast. Here the mystery is established step by step before your eyes. I will enter the next day and will even attend the lifting of his guard. A little later after a new shower at the hotel, I will resume my wandering walk in the night of Seoul. The GPS will be my compass in places that I can not name,sorry.
This was a scene that continually changed as the clouds surrounding Mount Hood moved away. A ghost one moment, like this another, then gone again...
Sunrise views over Blayney from Church Hill Rotary Lookout in the Central West, New South Wales, Australia.
the garden has been revamped and will take time to establish but on its way ...
rocks, stones, broken crockery and canes surrounding the plants to help prevent pet damage - works to a certain extent :)
for many years my garden was a shrubbery flic.kr/p/Lhv9ag which i loved. a picket fence covered in an ivy hedge coming down in a storm meant that over time changes had to happen flic.kr/p/2mn2x8a i'll be glad when the trellis is covered in honeysuckle and jasmine. that's the plan ... i'm not making recommendations. it's just chat ...
