Was just setting up the macro on my camera in the garden when this fly landed on my knuckle. Quickly took a snap and the result was rather terrifying.

"Death Star"...Datura stramonium, known by the common names Jimson Weed or Devil's Snare, is a plant in the nightshade family.
Extraordinarily beautiful and intoxicatingly poisonous!
Datura stramonium has been used as a mystical sacrament in North America and South Asia. In Hinduism, Lord Shiva was known to smoke Datura. People still provide the small green fruit of Datura during festivals and special days as offerings in Shiva temples. Although lay devotees smoke marijuana as a devotional practice during religious festivals like Shivaratri (the Night of Shiva), they do not smoke Datura because its effects can be unpredictable and sometimes fatal. Aboriginal Americans in North America, such as the Algonquin and Luiseño have used this plant in sacred ceremonies. The genus name is derived from dhatura, an ancient Hindu word for a plant. Stramonium is originally from Greek, strychnos στρύχνος "nightshade" and maniakos μανιακός "mad".
All parts of this plant are poisonous. Effects from ingestion range from flushed skin, headaches, hallucinations, convulsions and even coma. Datura stramonium, known by the common names jimson weed, devil's trumpet, devil's weed, thorn apple, tolguacha, Jamestown weed, stinkweed, locoweed, datura, pricklyburr, devil's cucumber, hell's bells, moonflower and, in South Africa, malpitte and mad seeds, is a common weed in the Solanaceae (nightshade) family. Parts of the plant, especially the seeds and leaves, are sometimes used as a hallucinogen. Due to the elevated risk of overdose in uninformed users, many hospitalizations and some deaths are reported from this use.
It is an erect annual herb forming a bush up to 3–5 ft tall. The leaves are soft, irregularly undulate, and toothed. The fragrant flowers are trumpet-shaped, white to creamy or violet, and 2.5 to 3.5 in. long. The egg-shaped seed capsule is walnut-sized and either covered with spines or bald. At maturity it splits into four chambers, each with dozens of small black seeds. The seed is carried by birds and spread in their droppings. It can lie dormant underground for years and germinate when the soil is disturbed. People who discover it growing in their gardens and worried about its toxicity have been advised to dig it up.
In the United States the plant is called Jimson Weed, or more rarely Jamestown Weed, taking this name from Jamestown, Virginia where British soldiers were drugged with it while attempting to suppress Bacon's Rebellion. They spent 11 days generally appearing to have gone insane.

"Forbidden to remember, terrified to forget. It was a hard line to walk"
FMP book of illustrations based on quotes from the Twilight series.
We had to cross this extremely rickety bridge to get to Tangting (one of the mountain villages) the first time we went.
This image for me represents Fear. The seal represents this because I’m terrified of seals. It is a odd fear because most people think they are cute but to me they look like they want to eat me. For that reason I took the photo from at least twenty feet away and with a zoom lens, I also enlarged the picture. Although I took other pictures of seals I chose to use this one because I’m more terrified when I’m in the water and there’re seals in the water to. My aperture for this was 5.6 and my shutter speed was 500. I edited the photo by making small changes to the Brightness/Contrast, Levels and the Exposure. I made changes to the Vibrance and Hue/Saturation in order to make the water more blue.
I seem to be struggling a bit with an overwhelming fear of things going wrong. So far, everything has gone perfectly (minus my legs hurting from a whole lot of walking around yesterday, and the fact that I have yet to send any postcards and my iPod is having an anxiety attack), but I'm sure I'll end up on the wrong train or something any day now. Other than this though, I have books (oh, YA section, how I love you and your fun reads. (I might be breezing through the princess diaries at the moment... Oh, the shame:D)) and all is well.
