Is it just me, or does anyone else instantly think of chickens hanging upside down when seeing these flowers?
A Japanese legend is one version of how the bleeding heart flower came to be. A young man tried to win the love of a young lady. He did this by giving a pair of rabbits (which are the first two petals of the flower), a pair of earrings (which are the next two petals of the flower), and finally a pair of slippers (which are the last two petals of the flower) to the girl. She continued to reject his affections, and, heart-broken, he pierced his heart with his sword (the middle part of the flower), which caused the heart to bleed.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments.

A strange sight to behold in the woods, a bleeding mushroom (Hydnellum peckii) oozing bright red... 'blood'.
Actually, the red liquid produced by young bleeding mushrooms (strangely) contains a pigment known to have anticoagulant properties similar to heparin. Mature blood mushroom's caps are dry and do not produce this red liquid.
It's kind of startling to come across one of these blood mushrooms (Hydnellum peckii) in the woods, they look so much like they are bleeding real blood...
Coincidentally, this red 'blood' does produce a pigment that has strong anticoagulant properties in human and animal blood.
I first learned about these remarkable mushrooms several years ago, from a fellow WUnderPhotos member, Algoresister from North Bend Oregon. In her area, they 'bloomed' in October.

"Every mornin'
I can hear out of my window
The blues come winning
I can hear the blues call my name baby
Every mornin'
Every mornin'
You can hear the willows weep and mown for me
Lord now, every mornin' you can hear the willows weep and mown for me
My little girl has left me
That's what caused my heart to bleed
That's all that caused my heart to bleed
Bleeding heart
Lord that's too bad I have a bleeding heart
Please come back home to me baby"

The Luzon bleeding-heart (Gallicolumba luzonica) is one of a number of species of ground dove in the genus Gallicolumba that are called "bleeding-hearts". The Luzon Bleeding-heart is the species in which the "blood" feature is most pronounced, with the reddish hue extending down the belly, furthering the illusion of blood having run down the bird's breast.
This was one of the locations used in the special two part London episode of Death in Paradise, where DI Humphrey Goodman is permitted to take a team over there to question potential murder suspects that left Saint Marie.
Humphrey's love interest, Martha, had recently left the island to go back to London, & she works here.
Humphrey gets his happy ending where he decides to go back to London to be with her.
Humphrey's popularity with fans led to the spin off Beyond Paradise, which I look forward to seeing.
One thing I loved about the two part London special was seeing Humphrey work with the next detective who would then take over his role, Jack Mooney. They worked well together, & I also really liked Jack in the subsequent series's he was in.
My late dad got me hooked on Death in Paradise, so I had him on my mind when tracking down locations. My dad passed away on the 22nd of March last year, the day before his birthday.

Sobieski park and Florist garden.
The Florists’ Gardens are certainly among the most beautiful green areas of the Brussels region. Hosting old greenhouses from the time of Leopold II who has initiated this park, the Florist’s Gardens also offer a magnificent view on the city and are a harbor of piece close to one of the most visited attractions of Brussels, the Atomium.
Sobieski park is the Park adjoining the Colonial Garden and the Florists' Garden.
The Florists’ Gardens can be reached via the Sobieski park (close to metro Stuyvenbergh).
I just about caught the bluebells at the Bluebell Woods behind the Bleeding Wolf pub in Scholar Green. But they weren't as numerous or thick as previous years and it was hard to get a field of blue, so I tried something different. The result isn't 'great' but it is 'different', and I doubt you will see another shot like this. Were you aware that one manufacturer had been working on a camera design that would refuse to take a shot the same as anyone else? Good idea, but it would stuff a lot of landscape togs and instagramers who only try to tick off the honeypot shots with a big orange blob in the background without any imagination or flair for something different.
