A big patch of this wildflower native to the Great Plains grew in an area the park people cleared of brush last year. I spent a lot of time at this patch photographing the many species of pollinators that visit these flowers.
Honey produced by bees that have collected nectar and pollen from this species can irritate or burn the throats of consumers of it. Beekeepers call it "jalapeño honey".

God of consumerism,
And all your crooked pictures,
Looking good, mirrorism,
Filtering information,
For the public eye,
Your neighboor, what a guy.

As I mentioned in my previous post, my recent self prescribed venture is to break away from my usual modus operandi and learn a new sight through the vision of Gursky.
He has a talent for observing humanity in an artistic yet objective manner.
One of his works "99 cent" is particularly inspiring by it's abstractness and way of showcasing the world of consumerism.

What I’m trying to relay through my image is our inability to see the forest for the trees when we are in a store surrounded by products. Whether that be a grocery store, a clothing shop, an auto dealership we are inundated and thus overwhelmed to a point where we are servants to the environment.
We are no longer in charge of ourselves and are influenced by all that intentionally surrounds us.

Listen, enjoy and think: Marvin Gaye - Mercy, Mercy, Me.
I always wanted to visit that place. I remember several years in the past, this commercial center was full of life, today this is empty and beautiful. Some people lived here, left and let their marks. Strangely the words I red were full of love, as if the knew that nobody would read them, a silent and peaceful love.
These are healthy pelicans, from the same general family as the Brown Pelicans that live in the Gulf of Mexico.
It's time to end the deep water drilling. We don't need it and don't need to kill anything else on our relentless search to find oil to drive our ever-increasing consumer needs.
Fortunately, these beauties live off Northern California.
I like the three stages of the wings in flight.
Supermarket car park. The lamps again.
People were shopping like crazy tonight, what with all the bank holidays coming up. I don't think many of them noticed this at all.
Chrysler Turbine Cars were automobiles powered by gas turbine engines that the Chrysler Corporation assembled in a small plant in Detroit, Michigan, USA in 1963, for use in the only consumer test of gas turbine-powered cars. It was the high point of Chrysler's decades-long project to build a practical turbine-powered car.
I'd like to speak to the complaint department.
what seems to be the problem?
I am not satisfied with the service I'm getting here.
what's wrong with it?
what's wrong is that there is no service. none.
none you say? what service are you looking for?
I need a rail ticket to L.A. I want the express.
do you now? unfortunately, that train doesn't stop here anymore.
what?
nor any other train, for that matter.
since when?
since, oh, about 30 years ago.
I had no idea.
yeah. it's hard to tell by looking around, isn't it?
damn. you coulda fooled me.
no kidding.
