Minibloemkooltje. De laatste bloemkolen van het seizoen kwamen van het land en ik kreeg dit kleintje.
Mini cauliflower. The last cauliflowers of the season came from the land and I got this little one.
"No no, I'm fine. Yes. Standing behind a stack of giant violet cauliflowers, cathedral in the background, sun's shining. It's great."
Last day of 2nd grade for my girlie. I am so excited to play for the next little while. Her school is transitioning from year round to traditional so a short summer this year and no long breaks during the school year. I will miss our special time but will have to learn to embrace summer breaks more fully.

Sparassis crispa called Cauliflower mushroom in Sweden. Edible, so I picked it today. Haven' eaten it as I'm not keen on the flavour.

I ordered a veg box and a couple of items seemed worth photographing - just a cauliflower. I took around a dozen different shots, but this was the first. I intended to render it in black and white, but think it looks better in this rather muted colour.
I have tried shooting this head of cauliflower for a couple of days but just can't seem to get the results that I want. I'm just going with it for today, I think a fresher head and focus stacking would help.
This is a macro image of a purple cauliflower, sadly the macro lens has picked up all the imperfections - far too many to edit out so here it is, mildew and all.
I walked 9km of Halls Gap to the Pinnacles Loop (Wonderland loop) in Grampians National Park, the most popular trail - Spectacular wonders at every turn.
Walking on these rock you feel like walking on the dinosaur back. To me it resembles White Pocket in Arizona (I know it from many photos here in Flickr) - similar metamorphosed sandstone, what looks like giant cauliflower (aka brain). Grampians rocks are much darker though, while White Pocket is much younger (Jurassic).
Geology:
The Grampians National Park is an outstanding geological spectacle - a dramatic land-form with sweeping slopes, craggy eastern peaks and massive sandstone cliffs that contrast with surrounding plains.
The distinctive cuesta landform of the Grampians consists of abrupt escarpments and generally west-dipping slopes. The sediments, which make up the Grampians, were deposited about 400 million years ago (Devonian period) and are approximately 3700 m deep. They are composed of layers of massive sandstones, siltstones and mudstones which were folded and tilted a few millions years later.
Some sources says volcanic activity occurred around 395 million years ago as well with granitic magma intruded into the Grampians sediments, resulting in deeply weathered batholiths, dykes and sills.
Common name: Cauliflower, Gobhi गोभी (Hindi), Kobi (Manipuri)
Botanical name: Brassica oleracea var. botrytis Family: Brassicaceae (cabbage family)

Broccoli and cauliflower are two derivatives of cabbage, both selected for their edible, immature flower heads. Broccoli is grown for the clustered green flower buds that are picked before they open and eaten raw or cooked. The cauliflower head is a cluster of aborted, malformed flower buds that stopped developing in the bud stage. Cauliflowers come in white, lime green and purple varieties. Both cauliflower and broccoli will produce viable flowers and seed pods if left in the ground through the cool season and into the warmer weather and lengthening days of spring or summer.
